The free Forza weekend can be described as nothing but an epic failure.

I think its hysterical. They ignore their loyal customers on a regular basis. So, on a weekend when they were hoping to drum up substantial business, they have an epic failure. I wonder how they are making out landing all those new customers??? How can you not be prepared for the increased traffic on a weekend when your goal is to sell copies of the game?
The game was close to being totally unplayable all weekend. I didn’t care though as I just enjoyed the ineptitude. Besides, my Eagles won and Dallas looked like garbage, so all is right in the world…

To answer that question, as one of those “potential new customers”: NOT WELL

In Manitoba Canada, here. No rivals, no multiplayer either.
ypu say there is a free weekend?
It seems as though they forgot it was going to be a free weekend and didn’t anticipate so much traffic. I just hope they extend everything. Mainly the Tour of Prague endurance race.
I just received my reward points from here for the game and now I can’t even access them due to the server overload… Awesome! Oh well, hopefully at the end of this messed up weekend cycle it’ll be back to normal with crazy morons running into Beetles during drift events
Agreed. Please Turn10 extend the Prague challenge!!!
I still cannot get on multiplayer hoppers, but when I go thru my friends i see people in multiplayer or in race. Did a reset, is there something else im forgetting or is it still down?

Rivals: Feature Unavailable
This feature has been temporarily disabled. Please see ForzaMotorsport.net for more info.
OK…where is this info I’m to see?
Forza down 24 hours now,get it sorted,new zealand
BuMMMeR! Was looking forward to the Bounty Hunter Challenge & Was just about to go for a few rival run’s & it’s down of course, as i go to play after not playing in a few day’s. i didn’t notice it till just recently. The Dude Does Not Abide! 
Quite depressing, first time logging in a bit and servers down. It’s Sunday’ so I’m just going to assume no one is working…even though reading back it was down yesterday, sadly I’m still hoping it comes back up soon no rush. I only pay cash, credit, and spend free time hoping to enjoy myself on what I paid for.
Well ladies and gentlemen let’s sit down open a brew or (soda) for some and play the waiting game. But that being said in about 20 minutes I’ll be saying “Xbox self destruct” it’s been a while since I’ve had time to play this and probably for others as well. I hope everyone is having a good night besides this issue.
Forza5 Server down???
Warum???
Wow I’m getting more and more frustrated with this game. I’m also getting feature unavailable for rivals.
On top of that I’ve been waiting over a week for a response from Turn 10 as to why my account had been reset. MS is not taking blame and one Turn 10 employee said problem is not on their end either. I’m a top 10 drag racer in this game. Over 200 upgraded and tuned cars gone.
I still find mostly it’s Turn10 fault as they are already longer pull a poor performance. Further is it lucky that T10 is not behind Horizon but Playground Games. I supportt he call of someone that T10 needs a new CEO. Or the remove of T10 from the Forza IP. Even a kid could forsee that it would be very crowded this weekend.
And now thinking, Microsoft is dumb/naive. I have a few times told MS in the last 8 months that T10 mess things slowly more and more up. But this will cost T10 & MS a lot if everyone leaves for eather Horizon or Project CARS.

I wanted to try for that badge and achievement but guess I cant due to the servers… couldnt even partake in the free gold weekend …boo
Warum??
Simply something went totally wrong. Technical disaster or someone simply forgot to plug in a cable to connect the extra server capacity for the free play Forza 5 weekend.
Anyway, some Turn 10 folks and some MS folks had a nice weekend and some other folks of Turn 10 and MS will have a nasty start in the week.

I Think T-10 Should make a Mobile Forza, That would be really cool, but would suck if it was Window’s Phone only thing. I’m Blowing time off playing Real Racing 3, & Asphalt 8 On Android & Listening to tunes. Painting is fun in RR3 For Android & iOS & Is Free Also. remind’s me like Forza in a way with painting, except it’s a very difficult game, makes you think you have to spend money, but patience works wonder’s. i’v never spent a dime & i’m already in the Legend Series in Real Racing 3. I’d happily pay 29.99$ to even 49.99$ for a Forza: Mobile With Xbox One Controller Support.
What’s everyone else doing to blow time?
