I am one of the several I’ve been reading about who have a completely broken experience playing Horizon 2 online.
Pretty sad experience, considering every single game I own plays just fine – and yet MS keeps telling us it is our router configurations.
I’ve tried port-forwarfing, dmz, upnp and every possible router configuration to no avail. The same thing happens EVERY TIME.
I can play online road trips no problem. I select it, and it joins almost immediately.
ONE SINGLE TIME I was able to go to a car meet and do a single showdown. It has not worked before or since. Not one time. It hangs on “Matchmaking…” whenever I enter the car meet. The one time it DID work I entered the car meet about 5-10 times before it worked (which pretty much proves these issues are due to YOUR servers and not our router configurations).
I have never NOT ONE SINGLE TIME been able to connect to online free roam. I get the message to “press X to join” and then it hangs literally forever after that point and you can no longer access ANYTHING in the game until I do a force-quit re boot the game.
I have ZERO problems with ANY other game on my Xbox One, and my network stats show open NAT as well with no issues.
Please fix your servers so we can play the multiplayer as it was intended. I have been a huge Forza fan all along, but this has kinda soured it for me.
I tried again last night – after sitting in the car meet for 25 minutes and seeing “Matchmaking…” in the corner it FINALLY joined up and allowed me to race in some showdown races. It took almost half an hour of sitting there for it to finally connect.
Once again, online free-roam just hangs and forces me to force-quit the game because all options become disabled once it gets to the “joining online free-roam” phase (where it perpetually just hangs forever and never connects"
There is no way this is a router issue – like they keep telling everyone else with this problem. This is the ONLY game that has any trouble with multiplayer that I own on any system — and the fact that I sat there reading some articles for half an hour while sitting in the car meet – only to find out that it FINALLY connected after almost half an hour just proves to me that all these issues are related to your servers.
And as of today online play is completely broken. Yeah… keep telling us it is our routers when I could play online yesterday and not today. Once again my other games work fine.
This is definitely the last time I ever buy a Forza game before it shows up in the $5 bin at Gamestop.
Turn 10 does not maintain the servers, nor any ownership of them. Playground Games and Turn 10 only develop the software, my friend. I’m sorry to say, no one here can help you with this issue, and you must continue to deal with MS Support. I’m sorry you are having this much trouble.
Now even in single player mode the ghost times aren’t saving because of “server error”…
Very dissappointing game. I am only complaining about the complete lack of online stability but I could get into the numerous other glitches I find in the game every time I play.
Like I said, I’ll play forza games after they are in the $5 bin at gamestop from now on. I sure as hell won’t pick one up new ever again.
