My computer runs this game on max settings in it’s sleep. Bar some minor optimization issues here and there it’s almost perfect. Well done Turn10 on that front.
But can you please fix these continued crashes! Since day one of early release, I haven’t been able to play it for more than a couple of hours without it crashing somehow. Be it getting stuck on a saving screen or just disappearing entirely from my sight. No chance of giving an error code either with it being a Windows 10 app. It literally just vanishes from my screen leaving no trace that it was ever there. The most recent example comes when I’m part way through an endurance race… That was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Bad enough is the waiting around for races to finish when I join a new Hopper. But to spend so much time on either waiting in a lobby, or actually racing for it to crash so frequently is so annoying.
"This game was built for PC from the ground up"
There are a few things so far that make me doubt the truth in that statement.
PC - Did the first 2 endurance races(Seeker & Breakout) took multiple attempts and abandoned the rest until they fix the crashing. Short race is bad enough but having it go to the DT well over an hour into a race is not my idea of fun.
Exactly my point. There are many “quality of life” problems with the Forza Motorsport franchise in general. To add frequent game crashes to that list kills my motivation to carry on with it.
Really hope they fix the issues quickly.
I only had my first crash in a race happen last night, lap 8 of 10 and boom desktop … BUT, I constantly get crashes in the menus, it appears to be something to do with conflicts between my controller, mouse and wheel from what I can gather so far.
Hoping these annoying crashes are a priority for the MUST FIX list.
I have already mentioned this on the forum in a few places. Besides the memory leaks and associated issues that need ironing out there is an issue with the communication between the Xbox app and the Forza 7 app that goes pearshaped when they try to verify reg and to sync data. A decade in 3D including Beta Testing with almost all the apps from top tier to 1 man show you pick up a thing or two. I have seen worse but not by much. I finished the complete Masters Champs today because no endurance LOL and on the Elite Open 6 races took me 9 usually CTD on the last lap. With 1 of the crashes, it went on the Race results > Current Champ Position board > Black screen > Desktop and when I reopened it and went back to run the race again this time successful the Xbox splash come up at exactly the point of last crash and said syncing data (which it could not do) with the option to play offline or try again the latter usually works and you are back in biz. This is exactly the same issue that was happening on release when the app would crash on the splash screen. I stated above I couldn’t do the endurance because it is too unreliable ie tomorrow I might get through Le Mans 250 but today there would be no chance and my PC would probably end in in next doors backyard. It is very hard to concentrate when in the front of your mind you are thinking is it going to last the whole race and each stutter is so distracting… Go 6 hours or 6 mins there is no consistency other than it will happen.
PC here, I only get crashes in menus, The longer I play the worse it gets. The first things I see when crash time is coming are artifacts during a race then missing sections of scenery ( a few hours into the run) when the race is over it is a sure bet it will crash. A restart will fix it for another few hours.
I’ve only crashed a total of 2 times on my i7 7700 32GB RAM PC since release, but I tested on my other PC with i3 and it crashes every couple races but it only has 8GB (normally 16GB but RAM was faulty) so I was suspecting a memory leak.
Tried playing again tonight for 2 hours (would have ideally been more but my patience ran out). Just finished streaming it.
First issue was a random frame rate issue/bug that I haven’t seen before. Still can’t explain why it occurred but after a couple of restarts it sorted itself out.
Second issue and third issue. Trying to find a lobby that didn’t require me to wait around for a 20 minutes while the race finished (Endurance Hopper), but then on the 2 occasions I did find one, the game crashed and sent me to my desktop. This task went on for 40 minutes! Joining/leaving, joining/leaving etc. Then crash.
Eventually 1 HOUR into my stream I got into an available lobby. Did 2 races. Was about to begin the third race. CRASH. Back to desktop.
I made one final attempt after this. Now just short of 2 hours into my session. Went through the routine of join/leave again. After 10 minutes found a game. 40 odd seconds left on the race begin countdown. But then as the race is about to launch. CRASH. Back to desktop.
4 times in 2 hours!
2 races in 2 hours! Yes they were endurance. But in reality they are on average about 20 minute long races.
Over an hour of joining and leaving to find a hopper in 2 hours!
I started this thread because of the frequent crash issues. But the quality of life in game makes it seem a million times worse. This hopper system has been awful since it was introduced a few games ago. Why on earth are you persisting with it Turn10?
If you must keep the hopper system. Why not close the hoppers when they reach the final race launch countdown, and then re-open them with a lap to go in the current race? I have no idea how easy or difficult that would be to do. But my goodness would it improve the experience for everyone online!
Just tried running Forza 7 after Win 10 Fall CU update (1709).
So far I cant see any performance increase what so ever, using latest Nivdia drivers and find their ‘Game Mode’ still reduces FPS in game. Unable to run Benchmark with ‘Game Mode’ turned on which in turn CTD’s. So with Game Mode firmly switched off system performance increases, maybe stutters are slightly less I’m not sure yet, but loading screen still stutters and hitches.
I guess we’ll have to wait for X1X to come and go before we see T10 fix the PC version of Forza 7?
My game is crashing more now too. Random spots. Most of the time it’s after a race when its reloading the screen, but recently its been crashing while racing.
