Forza Horizon Mistake?

I own FH 1 and FH 2 on Xbox 360 Both great games. So i just bought FH 3 (Digital) Threw Amazon from gift card. Im at 42% and it says Ready to start so i load up the game and it gives me a screen and it says still installing. Then it went to the intro like the demo and right when you pick your cars BMW Mustang etc. it gave me another installing screen and now its stuck at 80% and the actual game at 44%. So while waiting i decide to check these forums and seen that there is ALOT of issues with this game Like Freezing and Save files being erased or something. Kinda makes me worry did i make a mistake buying this game? Should i go ask for a refund? What are you guys thoughts on the game and the issues? Seems like the devs don’t care too much?

Never start until 100% installed no matter what it says.

Any xbox one game - wait until install is 100% done before playing. If it isn’t 100% done it’s not [fully] installed. If it’s not installed, it’s not ready to play.

Ditto, I have never understood WHY it would even let you start until it is 100%. I guess the makers catering to the “I WANT IT NOW!” crowd.

I haven’t had any major issues with the game. But like SNEd said, you should never start a game until it’s completely installed. If the install is stuck now, or it finishes and the game won’t start, you’ll likely need to restart the console.

Please take a look at this, which includes the proper procedures on Xbox One for ANY game:

Yea i just waited for the game to fully Install i just couldnt wait to play it more lol But so Far the game is great only thing that is very disappointing is the car sounds for example The Hellcat’s Supercharger whine is nowhere to be heard even upgraded same with other cars that have Superchargers and Turbos. Where are the sounds effects? Is this something that will be fixed or what. I bought the game just to listen the whine of a Charger Hellcat.

if that’s literally the main reason you had for buying the game, then I have very little sympathy for you. There’syour much in this game, but if that’s what you are looking for…

Hahaha No i love all kinds of cars lol The Hellcat was what sold me lol. Just sucks that you cant hear what makes the car a beast. If i were to know that sounds werent going to be as good as previous games i wouldnt of bought it.

I feel like I made a mistake purchasing this game but for many other reason
