FH5- Series 40 Game freeze in Seasonal screen

After launch and loading, the game immediately freeze in Season screen and it happend live since yesterday when series 39 ended and changed to 40.
Game is not playable anymore which is very frustrating after so many hours now.

Tried some hints mentioned in steam discussion like disable game bar, nvidia driver revert ect… nothing… however, it seems that similar issues appear in the past seasonal changes and especially during series changes also in older FH games.

1086 hours FH5 without any problems before

i7-8700K
GTX 1080
64GB RAM
Win 10 pro

Any ideas, maybe someone experienced similar issues latley ?

Forza starts normally, a little and after about 40 min to 1 hour it freezes and closes. I’ve seen several ways to solve it and I’ve done countless and without success. Steam Overlay, Gforce Experience among others disabled, updated drivers, I formatted the PC twice, I formatted it going back to Windows 10, without antivirus installed, without MSI Afterburn, disabled GHUB, I’ve already started as Administrator, in virtual memory I’ve already left it enabled to manage by the system, with and without. I’ve already checked installed files, I’ve already reinstalled on another NVME SSD, I’ve already checked for any corrupted files in the Command Prompt, I’ve disabled Windows Defender, BIOS, WIN 11, GPU all updated to the latest version, I’ve already downloaded the game settings, my setup is Ryzen 7 5700X3D, RTX 3060TI ROG STRIX, 32 GB RAM 3600Mhz, I’ve done everything and it still closes after a few minutes with no solution :confused: I would like a solution to this problem in the error viewer this game error appears in the event properties.

Exactly the same problem here, so keep calm bcuz it’s not a hardware related… i have the same issue with my 2 builds (RTX 3080 Ti RoG Strix LC/ i5 13600K / 32 GB RAM DDR5) with Windows 11 and ( RTX 3090 Ti Gigabyte Vision OC/ i5 11600K / 32 GB RAM DDR4) with Windows 10… same time of closes… Every ~1 or 2 hours game closes without any errors, sometimes in races and sometimes loading and changing seasons. It’s so frustrating.

Have you found any solution yet? So Forza closes, I open the event viewer and the error 0xc0000005 appears, I have already tried several solutions that I found on the internet and forums and without success.

So rollbacking graphic drivers to 561.09 didn’t work for you?

No, unfortunately not !

Opened a support ticket with Forza support but no answer yet since 4 days… :face_with_spiral_eyes:

I got a reply for support and they suggested the following…


Hello,

We’re looking into this issue for you and we have some troubleshooting and questions.

Does this crash occur every time in the same way?
Would it be possible to provide a video of the crash in action so we can have more details about where and what you are doing in game before the crash.

Please follow all the steps in this guide before continuing, to ensure that you have tried all of our troubleshooting steps prior My Game is Not Launching or is Crashing on PC

Check 3rd party programs

Please note that there are several program conflicts and issues with 3rd party applications we're currently investigating that can affect performance, general game stability, and being able to launch Forza. This includes any 3rd party programs, overlays or monitoring tools running in sync with the game.  If you are using any non-Microsoft programs that are running in the background like overlays or input monitoring we recommend disabling or uninstalling them to see if that resolves your issue. Please note that even if you are not using these tools for Forza they can still run in the background and affect game performance that may cause conflicts or crashes

Update Direct X

Please also attempt to update your Direct X version using Microsoft's web installer at the following link.

Attach these log files or a screenshot of the no log message to your ticket back to us please.
You can delete ForzaCrashLogger after you're done if wanted.

It’s sad, they told me to change my account, I’ve already created several new accounts, I started the game again and nothing helped. All they have to do is update it and it resolves it, and they say that the error is ours, we have to make arrangements for it to work where this has already been seen.
