I play Forza Horizon 5 on PC (Microsoft store version) never had a single bug but since the last update i cant play more than 30/40 minutes and them the game freeze and close without any error code or something like that. I already tried a lot of fixes but no luck… Disable all avast shields, unplug my razer mouse and keyboard and close razer app, run the game as admin, uninstall and reinstall the game, uninstall FRAPS, update nvidia drivers, update Windows 10, reset Microsoft store, reset xbox app, checked forza horizon 5 files trought the xbox app, turned vsync on in game and limite my fps to 144 cause is my screen hz and use my corsair headphones with usb cable insted of wireless mode. I already tried a lot of things as you can see and no luck. I hope for a fix as fast as possible cause i would like to play the game i PAID!

I had this happen a year ago and fixed it by swapping my motherboard, however, now it’s back. I have no idea what could have caused the crash. There’s no CPU overload, memory leak, overheating, nothing. I cannot find anything relevant in the Event Viewer.
Forza support wasn’t very helpful, repeating themselves even after I said that none of the possible solutions they presented worked. I’ve been told to report the issue to the Microsoft Feedback Hub, but I haven’t received a reply to this day. Reports with the same issue already posted on the app are also ignored.
The sad thing is that this doesn’t only happen to FH5 but also to FH4. I honestly don’t know what to do.
I have the same error expect only 3-5 min in. I have a 3060 and same specs as you otherwise. I can’t afford to upgrade my motherboard so that is not the issue
Go back to 561.09 Nvidia update that’ll fix the crashes

+1. Seems to happen during multiplayer events the most. Did start happening after updating my Nvidia drivers, so suggestion above might work as a workaround. But, you know, I play other games, so not really a realistic option.
Reverting back to 561.09 did indeed fix the issue.

Still happening on the 566.36 drivers.
Still happening on the 572.16 drivers.
You have to uninstall the previous driver with DDU in Safe Mode, simply updating the driver via the Nvidia App won’t fix the problem.
DDU is irrelevant if a downgrade solves the issue from a newer version. DDU+Upgrade doesn’t magically make every update after 561.09 work when it previously didn’t.
Still happening with updated game and drivers. On the plus side, DLSS 4! Looks really nice for the hour and change before crashing.

Seems to have just started for me. Play normally for a while, swap cars a few times, then suddenly the audio distorts, the game freezes and eventually CTD.
For anyone still experiencing crashes on PC I’ve finally found a fix after 2 weeks of daily troubleshooting.
Note that he problem is going to persist every single time you update your GPU drivers. See windows have a bright idea of making it so our DRIVERS do not get written to the correct files.
Follow these steps thoroughly:
- Go in to C:\windows\system32
2 in search bar type nvlddmkm.sys - it will locate all nvlddmkm.sys files in system32 - one file will be in drivers folder and others in DriverStore. IF you found nvlddmkm.sys only in DriverStore then u need to copy that file and paste it in to C:\Windows\system32\Drivers.
now we need to change permisions to every nvlddmkm.sys file… how? I’ll tell you.
3 Right click on nvlddmkm.sys file and click on properties then click on security tab and here you will click on adjust.
On every user you click on full access and then apply and ok … restart your PC
Now remember, every time you do an update on your drivers, you need to check if this file has made it safely to the dirvers file, and if it hasn’t. You’ve got to manually move it and give it the correct permissions.
Did not work for me. Followed the instructions to the letter (copying, permissions, restart), still crashed after an hour and change of playtime.
same on 576.28. After every update this game somehow creates another error. i just became a pc engineer while trying fix that teredo error. now we got this random crashes. what a game
