  • The game chat issue is an Xbox issue, not an issue with Forza.
  • Never had an issue with invites.
  • Didn’t know you could kick someone in FM5. Explain?
  • Glitching needs to be reported to forzafb@microsoft.com (I believe? Feel free to correct me)
  • Car slowing down? Don’t touch the grass?

Like he said. Most of these issues I suspect are teething issues with the Live service. Also, the only time my cars slow down is when I brake, crash or drive into the grass. Plus, STOP SHOUTING PLZ.

There are gazillion posts of FM5 being the only game people has issues with online features. However, I agree that shouting is totally unnecessary.

For about the past week I have not been able to enter MULTIPLAYER. I get a “failed to start multiplayer” message “multiplayer is currently unavailable. Please try again later”. I am online however, and have access to all the leaderboards etc. I even have the 1 friend is playing in multiplayer notification on the home screen. When I get the message I can see in the background that the new lobbies are listed. It just won’t let me in. I’ve tried restarting the internet, turning off and on the xbox. And it appears everything is good on my end, all other internet access works correctly. I can even download paints and tunes, just can’t seem to enter the multiplayer lobby.

I have not experienced any problems with Forza 5.

People describe the vote to kick issue as if it happens to everyone. It does not. I have never been dashboarded due to voting to kick and neither have my friends who I race with regularly.

Always check Xbox Support before complaining here. Turn 10 cannot fix Xbox LIVE issues.

BTW - the messaging on Xbox LIVE is current down, along with the Status page, which starts with “Server Error in ‘/’ Application.” which is totally outside the realm of the Forza Motorsport game developers.

My problem was corrected after doing a complete reboot (hold the x button on the console for 5 seconds). I guess the system is still a bit buggy at times, and I did not realize that simply off and on was not really a full reboot.

ok i will stop shouting when your in an online race if someone is being an idiot eg ramming everyone when you go back in the lobby you click on there name and it gives you the option to kick them but if you do it boots you instead back to the opening screen of the game .
i drive in most classes up to class R the only aid i use is ABS i can be flat out in top gear and suddenly it starts to slow down so dont tell me its invalid as for teething probs the console is 7 months old now its time they sorted it out

Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t ABS brake for you? Can anyone else confirm this?

No, that will be autobrake.

But if you run full ABS doesn’t it brake for you? If I remember correctly there is 3 settings. Full auto brake with abs, assisted braking (abs), no abs.

The “Assisted” part of ABS is only that it prevents you from locking up the wheels. You’re in full control of when and for how long you brake.

Like I say above it does not send everyone back to the opening screen if they vote. I can vote fine and nothing untoward happens. Same with my friends. It is not something that happens to all players.

Yep the back to dash is different for every player, I have 2 cars that i cannot put a tune on because it boots me back to the dash. My friend can put a tune on both cars no problem.

No, it does not, except in the auto-braking.
