Hello, I haven’t played Forza 7 for about a week. When I went to play tonight the game will not launch. The outline of a screen flash up for a split second then disappears.

Here is what’s I found in event viewer:

Activation of application Microsoft.ApolloBaseGame_8wekyb3d8bbwe!forzamotorsport7 failed with error: Access is denied. See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional information.

The operational log says:

The description for Event ID 103 from source Microsoft-Windows-AppReadiness cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
The message id for the desired message could not be found

Thanks for any help.

Same problem. This is what I did:

-Start/Settings/Apps/Forza 7/Advanced Options/click on Hoonigan Pack(or any add-on)/Uninstall/

-Then go to Microsoft Store/More (three dots next to your user icon)/My Library/Press download on Hoonigan Pack(or the add-on you uninstalled)

-Click on game. It should start. If the play button is not showing, either run it from the Start Menu or store page.

Just wanted to bump this. Forza 7 hadn’t been working for me at all, just crashing on startup. Removed a couple of addons and re-installed and its working again now.

Very bizarre!

What kind of producer is that he does not fix the mistakes, only the players have to combine to play at all.

Do you care about the creator of the game, that he issued a gnote with which all the problems are?

Thanks, I tried that, but the Hoonigan Pack now won’t install. “Couldn’t install. We’ll try again later”. Code: 0x80070422

I also notice that Forza 7 hasn’t been updated since Oct 27, which is odd given there was an update Nov 8? When I click “get updates” in the Downloads and Updates page it does not start any update for Forza 7.

Thanks

I blame the Microsoft store and/or the Xbox app. Something in it causes problems with games. As if not connecting to the server and being able to aithenticate your user information. Not being able to download what you already own might be evidence of this.

For me, it is the second day in a row that Forza won’t launch. I had to do the delete/re-download the hoonigan pack. The Play button won’t even show for me. I have to launch it from the start menu.

Check for Windows updates. Make sure you’re in the latest version. Also, if you play it on Xbox too, do a hard reset on the console and let Forza 7 restart.

Yeah I figured that it is another Microsoft store issue most likely. What a terrible program, it’s not fit for distributing games.

I haven’t updated to version 1709 of windows 10 yet. I haven’t been prompted to and I really don’t want to yet, people on these forums seem to be having issues with it and I know other games I play have issues with it that are yet to be fixed.

I suggest that you do though. A lot of the performance fixes are based on 1709. Also, the Store has changed since 1709 (at least the icon is different). Other than the game not launching, for me it is working flawless with all the patches. Of course, I have to do the uninstall/re-install add-ons thing every day.

If you install 1709, it might let you re-download the add-on you uninstalled and there’s a good chance the game will launch.

Find Forza 6 Apex, start install, once a bit is downloaded, cancel install. Launch Forza 7 enjoy.

I played the game yesterday just fine.

Then it was updated.

Today it wont launch.

12

Just fixed mine by reinstalling the DLC.

My friend has a very very similar issue.

He will get stuttering after running just fine and then at some point a CTD.

He will need to reinstall VIP to get the game launched again.

This is his first FM and to say he is frustrated is putting it lightly
I have assured him he can get a refund if it remains unplayable.

Well I have had an issue with Forza 7 disappearing on my PC and not being able to re-download for over a month now, sought help from Microsoft support, Xbox support and Forza support and all they keep doing is give me the run around by telling me to contact the other depending on who I contact.

15

is so frustrating I also have contact they and they keep tell me they can not help me is the other one etc

Try (one time) with Antivirus/Firewall/Sandbox disable.

I tried installing forza 6 apex as suggested above and it won’t download either, so I’m guessing this is firmly a Windows store issue.

Apparently Microsoft is releasing a patch on Tuesday to fix the issues with Windows 10 v 1709 so perhaps I’ll be able to update then and maybe that will make this work…so frustrating. Never have issues like this with steam.

18

I installed the patches for 1703 that came out tuesday and it’s back up and running now.

19

I also installed the patch. Forza 7 appears as if I don’t own it. I can only launch it through the start menu, or the pinned icon on my task bar. If it refuses to launch, I re-download any dlc and it launches.

What a mess…

this is my first post so before i go i say HI to the forza community…!
then i just bought the game downloaded in 1 day and it couldnt launch…just a windows with porsche picture appear and disappear…i want it short so dont count in here bu did everything said in this forum…i even change folder ownership and did some stuff most of you guys cant imagine…i installed my game on my D: drive which is a normal 2tb 7200rpm HDD… C: drive is SSD so O/S is installed here…anyway here is the MAGIC PART
i move the game to one of my external hdd and suprisingly it works…! then again move it to the same D: drive and this time it works again…!

i think the problem is not just forza side but windows too…so as always the problem is MICROSOFT…!
