Game crashes on launch (PC)

as soon as i click on the game, it opens up the first screen with the static photo, and then crashes immidiatly… this has been going on & off for about a week or so now.

Some days it launches, some it doesn’t. and it won’t launch FH3 sometimes either.

im having the exact same problem here

Go to the Windows store, search for Forza6 Apex and start the download on it on the same drive as your Forza 7 install. Let it download for a couple of seconds. Start Forza 7. Stop Forza 6 download. Repeat as necessary whenever you get this crash. If Forza 6 Apex download does not fix your crash on startup issue, try the Forza 7 Demo download as outlined above. One of the two will fix it. Don’t ask me why it works, it just does.

Happens to me quite often. As an workaround I reinstall some Forza stuff (eg. DLC). Then it works for some time.

Here also … and like Taikaviita said try reinstall some Forzastuff … i install any Windows Store Stuff and it allways works after that ! Its a Windows Store issue .

The issues of this game are so random. Never know what to expect.
If the loading screen at launch goes fast and smooth all will be good for as long as I play.
If it takes long, stutters, freezes or crashes I may as well restart the game (sometimes many times) because it will play horribly.
Totally erratic fps, stutters, constant long freezes, etc.
You just never know from one launch to the next.

When it loads good I get a perfectly smooth 175 fps @ 4K for hours until I shut it down.

When I go to play again later I just dont know what to expect.
Something is going wrong frequently when loading.

EDIT-
Now constant pc lockups when trying to launch game at splash screen.

Same problem here. Guess I just can’t play the game today. Getting real tired of putting up with this game’s crap.

Im with you.
Sad because when it runs it plays very well.
Just rare that I can get a good launch now.

It helps to reset the application in the Windows settings.

Once again today i can’t open the damn game, not FM7 nor FH3…

The same issues for me with Forza 7 and Forza Horizon 3 since the last update…

Having the same issues here, very intermittent running issues.

The splash screen appears for a second or two then disappears, this occurs in both Forza 7 & Horizon 3. Sometimes Forza 7 loads but more often than not it doesn’t, its getting very frustrating.

I’ve tried pretty much every solution & workaround mentioned by others who have been having same issues, all with the same unsuccessful results (including using Fiddler 4) I have noticed that the Microsoft Store doesn’t work either & chucks me the following error Code: 0x80072EE7

I enjoy playing both Forza 7 & Horizon 3 but seeing as quite a few complaints have been made on different forums dating back quite a few months & regarding the same issues. What is going on?

Posted Twice!

Thanks for the info, unfortunately I can’t even access the Windows Store, I just get this error code: 0x80072EE7 every time I try. It’s really annoying as I can play Forza 7 one minute & the next I can’t.

One thing I have noticed is I can load Forza 7 up on my main gaming PC every time without any issues, I am running an AMD card on that & the machine I have the starting issues has an nVidia card.
Do any of you notice this too?

Dude you’re a Genius ! It works ! But damn the Microsoft store and its stranginess !!

Forza 7 uninstalled then FH3 worked… Then I downloaded again Forza 7 during one night and now the 2 games won’t load… !!
