FM2023 (Steam/PC version) frequently freezes/crashes when I use the filter menu to display a selected subset of cars in my garage.
It seems especially prone to freezing/crashing when I select a combination of multiple filters.
Steps to reproduce:
→ main menu
→ cars
→ my cars
→ filter
→ select a combination of division, drivetrain, and/or PI-class to filter on
…freeze/crash.
The game stops responding to any inputs from my controller, mouse, & keyboard.
The forza_steamworks_release_final.exe shows “not responding” status in Windows Task Manager.
A few moments later, Windows (11) pops up a notification box saying: “This application is not responding. Do you want to end this process?”
I click “end process,” the game shuts down & returns me to the Windows desktop, and I restart the game - only for the same thing to frequently happen again if I try to use the garage filter again.
Sometimes filtering works fine with no problems, but I’d guesstimate it fails/crashes nearly half the time I attempt to filter, so it’s basically a coin-toss.
I don’t recall ever encountering this problem before the 20th anniversary Fujimi Kaido update.
(I’ve tried the “My Game is Not Launching or is Crashing on PC” troubleshooting steps, and the issue still frequently occurs.)
