FM4 DLC end of life/re-downloading info - see post #1

Make sure that when you’re downloading Forza DLC you leave that popup download menu alone. Forza doesn’t download in the queue like most games, it only downloads in that popup menu. Might be your problem, might not be.

then take the requirements for DLC and Tokens OFF the rewards page. PLEASE. what a jab! penalized for not being able to achieve a requirement because of a ‘contractual window’

I’m curious if it’s Porche since its contracts reside with others, nevertheless, if the content isn’t there, why demand so many Forza Rewards Points be allocated to THAT …???

The microtransactions were on the rise at the time of Forza Motorsport 4 and Horizon. And the great idea of Turn 10 was using the tokens to keep up with the times (scam trend in my opinion).

Who can blame them? Probably the decision makers asked about a way to sell pointless stuff to lazy people. I blame the player who buy such items. Cellphone game culture it is.

We buy them for completion. I have 13 cute tokens in my storage device for Horizon. n_n

And isn’t changing the rewards years later somehow a bad decision? I mean., it’s unfair IMO for those who played before us. But it seems they fixed it. FM5 is the last that use tokens I think?

yeah it is nice to see I have all the dlc and ‘cute’ tokens for Horizon, but I feel for anyone not able to max the rewards out. I feel achievements that require spending money are dubious and greedy traits of the producers, there’s other ways to provoke spending rather than ‘buy it and get your points’ ONLY… does the game cater to the upper classes? it rewards them all right!!!

considering the DL content needed for a gamer score, the rewards for forza 4 are over 25% (1/4… uh over 500 reward points) UNATTAINABLE. that’s a TON of reward points. it’s TAWDRY.

I’ve had issues with Time/Money wasted on Horizon in 2013, just totally upsetting, frustrating and a reminder of the nasty hoops needed to jump through just to retain your own progress… (a mandatory game update made my save corrupt). PLAYGROUND GAMES, they came through in the end. they dove in my save world and patched what the issue they’re update destroyed. cheers to that team. Turn 10… I’m at the end of my rope and I’ll be suggesting PS4 and grand tourismo to my relatives that want to race online with each other. seriously its Orwellian, neglect, ignorant and very thoughtless.

here is a problem that does have ways of solving the quandary of upset consumers, negativity and over ‘bad’ taste in everyone’s mouths. there are numerous things to make things right.

NUMEROUS and doable. I hope to see Turn 10 turn their lights on here. I’m paying strict attention.

Yes, nothing worse than an incomplete game.

We pay a lot to get everything because we like the franchise and they do this.

No consideration for the consumer. What a nice idea! Buy Tokens to complete your game! Ops, we can’t sell Tokens anymore!

Well i think that that make forza game lost the battle with grandturismo games are better so put back the dlc for forza dont be stupid

How can i download the car pack 1950 to 2000 forza motorsport 4 xbox 360

Wasn’t that one of the packs that came with the double disc edition of Forza Motorsport 4. Get yourself one of those and you’ll get a decent portion of the DLC. The Essentials Edition only included the bare bones game.

Got a 2 disc edition. Can’t install it, don’t get an option to. 4 GB 360 here. I’ve tried to install disc 1 to 16 gb flash drive, then load disc 1 from flash drive with disc 2 in tray running, got squat.

How can I install disc 2 and get the car packs?

Your issue is that you have the 4gb Xbox 360 - you need a proper HDD for the second disc to install too, not a Flash drive.

It’s been a while, but wasn’t there the ability to format a flash drive to use as an external hard drive for the 360?

Didn’t work for game installs in the vast majority of cases unfortunately.

Today i tried to do this. But it does not work. I bought the game plus all the DLC and now, a few years later, i bought a new Xbox 360. I signid in with my account from back then and can’t download them again. Does anyone have a fix for this?

That’s strange. A fix for downloading the content you own?

You can access all the content in the console or in the xbox.com website. Can you see other games you bought with that microsoft account? (My Xbox > My Games)

Are you aware there are two things, microsoft account and gamertag? And they need to be related?

Thnx for your reply. I did look after that and Forza 4 is not between my owned games. Does this mean i logged in with the wrong account? Can it be that i have another gamertag with my e-mail adress? I’m sure that my e-mail adress is same as it was back then.

Not that i’m aware of. It’s one account and you can change gamertags if you desire if I’m not mistaken.

Have you clicked in show all and listed everything you bought with that account? (There could be several pages)

Or perhaps another person bought the content? What exactly was the content, do you remember? Forza 4 Standard comes with 2 discs and install some DLC. It also comes with a download card for extra tracks and tells you about the BMW M5 pack free on the marketplace.

So, following this example, if you buy today a factory sealed Forza 4, you can’t download the BMW free pack because it’s no longer available and there was no code, just the information for those interested in downloading.
But if you downloaded that content years ago, it’s in your history. Do you remember if you opened the case and typed a 25 digit code for the tracks and also downloaded the BMW M5 free pack from the marketplace?

You said you have bought all the DLC. So you should have also the Porsche Expansion, right?

And looking at your gamertag, you have 2 achievements for Forza 4. So you bought all the DLC with this account but played with other account?

Sorry, double post.

After reading the news about the Turn 10 and Porsche 6 year agreement I was wondering if there is any possibility they could relist the Porsche Expansion DLC for Forza Motorsport 4. Does anybody know if that’s any way possible.

Please comment and post any news regarding this.

Great so I cant finish forza 4 thanks turn10 and I thought disk 2 had all content :frowning:
