FM6 FAQ: Troubleshooting and Support

Troubleshooting general steps
If your game is stuck or shows other unusual behavior, follow these general troubleshooting steps in sequence:

  • Research: Before doing anything, research the issue. Read this FAQ, read the Support forum, read the Xbox Live Status page, read the Forza Twitter account, read the FM.net News articles, read through the posts on the first few pages of the discussion forum, and use the Search function to find existing reports of your issue. If Turn 10 is investigating an ongoing issue sometimes the only thing to do is wait. If you have access to a different Xbox One and different router/connection than your home console (such as a friend’s) you might try logging in to see if the issue persists, to isolate profile issues vs hardware issues.
  • Restart: Backing out of the game to the Press A to Start screen may clear issues and prompt delivery of messages. If you have a disc installation you also might try ejecting the disc and reinserting it.
  • Reboot: Turn off your Xbox One console completely then start up and see if the issue is fixed. For some DLC and content update installation issues, users have reported success by changing the console’s Power Setting to Instant-On with Automatically download updates enabled. Force a console system update if one is available under Settings/System. You might also try rebooting your router and modem to clear any ghosts in the machine. See Xbox Support’s topic on Xbox One Networking settings.
  • Reconnect: For multiplayer connection issues, see Xbox Support’s topic on Xbox One Networking settings. Try unplugging and rebooting your router and modem to clear any ghosts in the machine. Also try changing your console’s connection from wired ethernet to wireless (or vice versa) and back again, as described in this post.
  • Reinstall: From the dashboard, select FM6 and Manage Game and Uninstall (choose this instead of “Uninstall game and add-ons” to start; multiple users have reported that just uninstalling the game has fixed issues like crashing to dashboard from certain tracks), then reinstall the game, reboot, and restart and see if the issue is fixed. Your gamesave is stored in the cloud so reinstalling the game will not affect your progress.
  • Reset:
  • A) Reset your gamesave.* See steps below - resetting your gamesave will erase your game progress (and gift cars will not be sent again), so only do this as a last resort. You may also try deleting your local gamesave.
  • B) Reset your console* to factory settings via Settings > System. “Warning: Restoring your console to the factory default settings erases all accounts, apps, games, saved games, and settings. Anything not synchronized with Xbox Live will be lost. Your console syncs with Xbox Live automatically when it is connected with the service.” If you change consoles, see this description of the steps for restoring everything, including the sync time to recover your gamesave from the cloud.
  • Report: If none of the steps have fixed the issue, report it in clear and full detail to the developers at forzafb@microsoft.com. You may not receive a personal response but reporting may help T10 look into the issue and eventually lead to a resolution for multiple players facing your situation.
  • Request: Note that game design choices are not the same as software problems. Use the Game Features Wish List thread or email the developers to request game features you’d like to see in the game.

How do I reset my gamesave?
Resetting your gamesave may fix some game crashing issues, and it allows the challenge of starting over. WARNING: This profile reset will permanently reset your profile including: career progress, tokens, credits, liveries, and all garage cars, including gifts (reinstalling DLC will not trigger gift cars for that pack again). Only do this if you are absolutely sure you want to start over. Follow these steps:
Load or back all the way out of the game to the Splash Screen (“Press A to Begin”), and do the following: Hold down both shoulder buttons (LB + RB) while holding both triggers (LT + RT) and then press the Y (yellow) button at the same time. If done correctly, you should see a confirmation pop-up confirming that you want to reset your profile. Choose “Yes” from the menu and then press the A button to reset your profile.

Why did I get banned in the game? I did nothing wrong.
If you have received a ban then you should receive a message either in game via the Message Center or via Xbox Live message, indicating the length of the ban. See the Xbox Enforcement page and be sure to read the Terms of Use which also cover Forza gameplay. The FM.net TOS prohibit discussion of enforcement issues on the forums so the only option is to email your question with details, such as all the gamertags on your console, to the developers at forzafb@microsoft.com. You may not receive a personal response to your email, but all emails are read. Ultimately you just have to wait out the length of your ban.

How do I contact Turn 10?
Per the forum Code of Conduct, “constructive criticisms and suggestions are welcome, provided they are directed to Turn 10 Administration via private e-mail, here: forzafb@microsoft.com.” If you are communicating a problem with your game or account, provide as much detail as possible in clear language. You will receive an automated response confirming your message was received, and you may or may not receive a followup response. Some basic information questions may receive a response from the official Twitter account www.twitter.com/Forzamotorsport but enforcement questions should only be directed to the email address. A list of forum Moderators is in the Code of Conduct but moderators are not Turn 10 employees and cannot answer some game account questions. Xbox Live cloudsave or account purchase questions may need to be directed to Xbox Support at Xbox.com or via Twitter.

Pre-order owners get access to those plus a version of the bonus car with a Team Forza theme livery applied.

Similarly, the Ten Year Anniversary Car Pack cars are duplicates to game roster cars, but with the Team Forza livery and upgrades applied. If you don’t have the livery version DLC then you simply wouldn’t be able to buy or share a tune/design for that DLC model.

When and how will I get the FH2 DLC cars for preordering FM6?
Access to the car packs is immediate once you preorder, and as with all owned FH2 DLC you can collect each model (free the first time) for your garage from the Autoshow. (d)

Unlikely, since Turn 10 has not offered this on previous games and Xbox Live’s purchase terms indicate that sales are final. Unless T10 comments on this, account transactions would be an issue for Xbox Support.

I purchased a DLC pack but the cars are not in my garage.
Purchasing DLC simply authorizes the player to use the car models in the game. Once the purchase is made, DLC cars are listed in the leftmost tab of the Buy Cars menu and marked “FREE” in green font for you to collect them for your garage.

First of each DLC car free
“Like FM5 and FH2, DLC cars will be free the first time you add them to your garage.” (s) Each additional car of the same model would then cost its credit value. These Free-via-DLC cars cannot be removed from your garage but for other cars “You can sell your cars back to the game for half of what you paid for it originally.” (s)

Will all family accounts on the same console have shared access to all DLC?
Based on previous games it appears that that code assets (cars added to the Buy Cars list) will be accessible by all accounts on the shared console, but gamesave assets (first-free-car with DLC purchases, VIP icon, VIP acceleration etc) are only available to the DLC owner. See discussion with report from Xbox Support.

I have the Fast & Furious Car Pack - where is Dom’s Charger?
“This car will only be available for now via the Xbox Video Furious 7 promotion.(s) The code for this car will be delivered after the promotion ends on September 21.

Are there any plans for track DLC packs?
Unknown. Watch for announcements in the Forza Hub and in articles like the Week in Review in the News section. Any DLC announcements will be added to the DLC and Editions list thread.

Divisions
Most car models (but not all) in the game are assigned to one of 30 different Divisions which are used to group cars in the career Stories of Motorsport races. Divisions may also be used in restrictions for Rivals and multiplayer League events. There is also a a leaderboard filter for showing the fastest times for cars matching your lap time car’s division. See this list of cars grouped by Division and the Events List thread for details about Career races with Divisions and PI limits. Car Divisions are not shown in the garage or Rent/Buy Cars menus within the game.

Car specs

  • In a custom multiplayer lobby users can filter eligible cars by Performance Index, power, weight, drivetrain, engine layout and configuration, cylinders, aspiration, Region (North America, Europe, Asia), Country, Type (Production, Pre-Tuned, or Race), Manufacturer, Make, Model Family (Silvia etc), Division, or Year. Only power, weight, drivetrain, an engine position are indicated in the garage and Rent/Buy Cars menus.
  • Cars are given a Performance Index which ranges from 100 to 999 and changes when upgrade parts are installed. PI ranges are grouped into ten classes (E, D, C, B, A, S, R, P, X) which group cars of similar performance levels together. However, the PI number is a single assessment of the car’s lap time around a virtual test track (see description below) and do not indicate guaranteed performance on every track.
  • Performance attributes for Speed, Handling, Acceleration, and Braking are shown in numbers from 3.0 (slowest/weakest) to 10.0 (fastest, strongest). These numbers too indicate potential performance and not an exact comparison between cars.
  • Benchmark data for acceleration time, top speed, braking distances, and lateral g’s can be seen in the Tuning menu and change based on upgrade parts and tuning settings.

Can I import my garage cars from other Forza games?
No, but you can receive gift cars as a reward for previous Forza game ownership and gameplay. See the Loyalty Rewards announcement. Designs and tuning setups from FM5 and FH2 can be imported if the car exists in FM6, see the Tuning and Paint posts below. (d)

Where will I collect my gift cars?
Gift cars are sent to the game Message Center where they must be downloaded in order to be transferred to the player’s garage. Loyalty Rewards gift cars are deposited directly to your garage at the start of your game.

If I purchased a DLC pack will the cars go directly to my garage?
DLC cars can be found in the Buy Car menus first tab and marked “FREE” to buy for your garage the first time for each model. Thereafter each car costs credits like the rest of the roster.

Is the car selection menu control more like FM4 or FM5?

FM6 FAQ: Homespaces and Forzavista

Homespaces
The Homespace is where your current car is shown in screensaver mode on the main menu and in Forzavista. You can change your Homespace between the Rio outdoor patio or the indoor paddock garage from the OPTIONS tab in the main menu.

Forzavista
Find the Forzavista menu in the CARS tab of the main menu, or press X anywhere to launch it.

  • Forzavista is an up close mode enabling you to open a car’s doors, hood, and trunk, get in the car, and look at each point up close. Use the controller sticks to move around the car, and press the left stick in to move from high to low viewing angle.
  • Active icons: Anywhere there is an “i” icon you can select it for detailed info on that part of the car. A color wheel will enable you to paint the car, and a crossed wrench will allow you to install parts that affect aesthetics as well as performance (rims, lowered springs, aero, quick upgrade to the top of a class).
  • Engines can be revved from inside the car but not all cars allow you to open the hood.
  • Press Y for Photo Mode.
    Will more Homespaces be added to the game after launch?
    There have been no releases or announcements of additional homespaces after launch.

FM6 FAQ: Upgrading

Forza’s upgrade options allow you to change the look of a car and improve its performance within its class or in a higher class. In general reducing weight improves performance but sometimes a heavier part can provide stability that helps acceleration, or reduces the overall PI in the car class to make room for another part. Some cars have fewer options but in general the upgrade categories and groups are the same for all cars, will varying specific impact on each car model. To tune gearing, suspension, brakes, or aero the car must have an adjustable (Race level) part installed. Parts cost credits to buy buy once owned they can be removed and reinstalled for free. Bought parts are assigned to each specific car, so if you had two Vanduras you would need to buy a camshaft for each, etc. Installing a conversion will uninstall some related parts the Engine or Drivetrain (differential).

Find the Upgrade Shop in the TUNE tab of the main menu. From the Upgrade Shop you can press X to Tune car, press Y to Test Drive, or press the Show button for the Setup Manager where you can load your own tunes, find shared tunes for the current car, and sync and import FH2 and FM5 tuning setups.

When reviewing each part for upgrade you can toggle car ratings (speed, handling, etc), horsepower and weight, and benchmark data for 0-60, top speed, braking, and lateral g’s to see how the part will affect your car before you commit to buying or installing it.

Quick Upgrade
For a fast upgrade you can have the game decide which parts to install to bring the car to the top of the target class. This will not install aero, body kits, rims, or drag tires.

Engine
Change your horsepower and torque, engine response, and overall weight with these parts: Air Filter, Manifold, Fuel System, Ignition, Exhaust, Camshaft, Valves, Displacement, Pistons, (charger if installed), (intercooler if installed), Oil, Flywheel. Installing a turbo or supercharger on a naturally aspirated engine or vice versa will remove some installed parts as applicable.

Platform and Handling
Brakes, Springs, Anti-Roll Bars, Roll Cage, Weight Reduction. Changes to these parts at Race level have a visible effect on the car. Brakes, Springs, and ARBs allow for tuning.

Drivetrain
Clutch, Transmission, Driveline, Differential. Sport and Race transmission allow tuning gears. A new differential will have to be bought and installed after an AWD or RWD conversion.

Tires
Tire Compound - Street, Sport, Race, and Drag. A purchased width will stay installed for any installed tire compound.

Are there tires for wet conditions? What if my tuning setup doesn’t include them?
“We automatically change the tires, if the car has race tires. If it has street tires, they are used in wet, dry and cold.” (s) PI and tuning does not change based on this automatic setup.

Rims
Buying a rim will unlock the ability to change rim size. Three rim styles split up rim models so be sure to check each one for a manufacturer and model. Rims come in 5 relative weights, and the same rim may be 4x as heavy on a large car compared to the same rim on a small car. Prices range from 3400 credits for a set to 3700 credits for the lightest rims.

Wheel offset
There is no option to change wheel offset, though this may appear to change depending on the rim used.

Body Kits and Aero
In general most cars have a Forza front bumper and Forza rear wing for adjustable aero. Some cars have multiple hood, sideskirt, bumper, and wing options from aftermarket brands.

Conversion
Change Aspiration to turbo or supercharged, Drivetrain to RWD or AWD, or swap in a different Engine.

Blowers and Hoods
There are no upgrade parts to add a blower through hood. Dom’s 1970 Charger (DLC) is the only car that has this feature.

Nitrous
There is no Nitrous boost in FM6 as used in Forza Horizon 2 Presents: Fast & The Furious. - see discussion thread.
