So on Monday I tried to create my very first livery. Granted… it’s nothing special but nonetheless. Today, I’ve loaded the game, went to buy a car and when it asks me to choose a livery I got a message stating that my gamertag is banned from this feature.
What the actual? Why have I been banned from accessing car liveries? Now… I’ve been lurking around these forums and seen a lot of these posts and everytime the mods have stated it’s due to the content of their liveries which I actually believed. Now I’m not so sure.
If that’s the reason, please explain how 3 coloured stripes (M3 Emblem colours) have got me banned from using this feature?
Now I would love to present my epicly bad car livery (or liveries if you just count paint colours).
If you have received an in-game message you will know the length of your ban on a violation of the Code of Conduct, but if you haven’t I would suggest doing a full system reset as below:
Try doing a system reset (hard boot) as below:
1 – from the Dashboard, out of all games, hold the X button on the front of the console down until it shuts the system down.
2 – Disconnect the external power from the wall plug (or at least disconnect the wall-side connector on the power pack itself).
3 – WAIT until all power drains from the external power pack (no light, either white or dull orange showing on the pack).
4 – Reconnect the power supply to the electrical outlet.
5 – Restart the console in the usual manner, i.e., either with the controller or a short push on the X button on the front of the X1.
6 – WAIT until the console self-checks and fully boots to the Dashboard before attempting anything.
If you don’t disconnect the external power pack and let the power completely drain out, the system is still retaining “old” stuff and not resetting.
Also, if you have any pending downloads (see your Dashboard Games/Apps section) make sure everything is downloaded 100% before attempting to play any of the games.
Neither bans nor the enforcement of the regulations by Turn 10 employees are discussed on these forums. You may send them an email at forzafb@microsoft.com if you wish. You will receive an automated response because of the heavy email volume, and your ban will likely expire prior to a full answer.
