This is actually getting ridiculous now. It’s still doing it after two updates and nearly a month after release - I just want to play the game but can’t… I’m getting pretty wild to be fair.
There are no tricks to fix it at all even if you don’t adjust the fuel and tyres, it still does the infinite loading screen, so don’t be confused people.
Gameplay circumstances: Porsche 911 GT2 RS, Track Tour - Built to Race - Event 1
Platform: Xbox Series X
Edition: Game Pass with Premium Addons Pack
Account: Solo account
PC GPU: N/A
Peripheral: Xbox Series controller, fully updated
Settings: Performance mode
Xbox Settings: Quick Resume enabled
Attempted fixes: Rebooted Xbox after installing patch
Content Update: This has happened to me about 5 times before installing the patch. After installing it, it happened immediately after the first race I played.
This issue manifests itself in a few ways: An infinite loading screen on purchasing a car, upgrading between races, and also an error about no remote data being available from the server when trying to play a different event.
This is really disappointing. I paid for the Premium Addons pack and not only did I end up not being able to properly use the 5 days of early access, I still can’t play the game, and it’s been more than two weeks. This is by far the worst bug in any game, or really any piece of software, I’ve encountered this year.
There’s a lot going on in the gaming industry. MS’s recent acquiring of ABK is showing us that they are getting serious and is pushing Xbox/Gamepass to align with their direction of making better games to compete. Being a video game player for decades, I think most of us are happy to see this happening.
T10’s sneaky attitude on these bug issues is apparently steering to the opposition direction however. Yes T10, you know what we are talking about here, and please cut the Diagnose crap, there are already tons of players reporting this bug since day 1. If you are buying time, tell us straight. If you still haven’t found the root cause, tell us straight. We don’t mind (and are forced) to wait, but BE A MAN and tell us what’s really going on.
Guys we should think of a way to let the Xbox Management to realize how bad the situation is here. We have been nice to T10 for some weeks already but feels that we are just being fooled. If this path isn’t working, think of other ways to push them to act diligently.
I probably sound bit too harsh but I am just hoping to get on with the game and play it through. Every time when picking up the controller, getting into the game, finishing the Builders Cup race, I don’t feel satisfying but only frustration.
Gameplay circumstances: Doesn’t save career progress while playing featured tour (Track Tour, Mazda MX-5, First race). When I try to save by applying upgrade or painting it gets stuck in infinite loading screen.
Platform: Windows PC
Edition: Game Pass
Account: solo account
PC GPU: Nvidia GTX 1660 Super (Version 545.84)
Peripheral: Xbox One Controller
Settings: Medium settings, Moderate Assists
Xbox Settings: N/A
Attempted fixes: Rebooted, Tried buying cars, upgrading and painting. They all get stuck during that.
Content Update: happening before the update and still happening after 1.1 update
Game does not save progress reliably. Actions to try and manually save causes the game to get stuck on loading/saving screens 75% of the time.
Any car, any Featured Tour (e.g., Track Day, Built to Race, Track Exotics). NO customisation prior to race (e.g., NO navigating optional menus. NO skipping practice).
Forcing a save after a race via any interactive save mechanism (e.g., load a Rivals, save a photo, paint a car, buy a car, load a tune, upgrade a car) has a 75% chance of getting stuck on a spinning wheel loading/saving screen.
If any of the above manual save prompts work successfully, it also saves the game, and quitting (e.g., closing Quick Resume and loading from fresh) and reloading the game will retain progress
If you do more than one race prior to the game getting stuck, you will sometimes lose ALL progress made since loading the game, and sometimes only lose the progress of the last race.

This is an actual joke and I’m embarrassed for T10, issue is still occurring. The fact we ALL have to put so much effort to help T10 figure this out is also a joke. I’m done trying to play this game for a while. Been a long time fan of the Forza franchise since FM2 and it really bums me how terrible this game has turned out to be.
Gameplay circumstances: 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II, Track Specials Builders Cup. After completing the Nurburgring Sprint, between moving onto the next I upgraded my car and it then froze.
Platform: Series X
Edition: Premium
Account: Solo account
Settings: Not sure why assists make a difference. But all assists off except ABS. Manual. Performance graphic settings.
Xbox Settings: Quick resume is on, but I restarted the game before I started my session due to the new updated.
Attempted fixes: Tried everything support has recommended when I logged a ticket. Also tried any possible fix that was suggested in the last post.
Content Update: Was happening before and after the latest update.
I got the early access pack through Xbox Gamepass on my XBX and have been having these issues since day 1 of early release.
T10 is asking what car and what event it happens in, well it happens with any car I choose and can happen after 1 or 5 races.
Have tried the ‘dont adjust fuel & tyres’, ‘exit from cup and change body colour on a different car to force a save’ and ‘not do upgrades mid event’ with absolutely zero luck.
Will T10 refund me my money for the early access? As it’s been beyond a joke and I only purchased a XBX to play this game…
Issue 1608827. This should not have been closed as after applying the update/hotfix I am immediately greeted by the same issue again.
When I applied an upgrade to my car after the first race of “Built for Sport” the game soft locked and wouldn’t finish applying the upgrade to my car. I once again had to Alt-F4 to get out of the game and once I loaded Forza Motorsport again my progress had again been lost.
Gameplay circumstances: different cars and different events in builder’s cup, issue appears after quick upgrade, in photomode during the race, when i try to share race repeat after race

Same here on Series X. Trying to complete the Track series and simply can’t get past a single race. Exact same issue as prior to 1.1. Won’t be playing till it’s fixed. So incredibly disappointing.
Im also having frequent freezes while driving. I play on the Asus Ally portable console. Its been freezing almost every race now that Ive been reducing my playtime on the game. Hope to come back to the game affer this is fixed. Thanks.
I was super excited reading this update was coming but it wasn’t out before I crashed last night, then read the replies this morning…so sad, tested for myself this arvo and the same thing, still not saving progress…
Gameplay circumstances: Completed races 3 and 4 in Modern Tour > Built for Speed. Exited to the main menu after each race (thinking this would save). Came back in for the 5th race at Suzuka and applied upgrades, game hung at “Applying Upgrades”. Driving 2020 Toyota GR Supra.
