Well, here we are again.
How is it possible, after weeks of waiting the same thing happening all over again!
Here I was, continuing my career, and after the 4th race… CTD!.. just before going to the payout screen.
It all started very promising, as I tested the select car screen and select rims, etc… yep, very promising, until I continued my career.
This is inexcusably. It’s been crashing since Sep 29th on release day, and still is for crying out loud.
I truly lost count how much this game crashed on me since Sep 29th!
Never had any game crash on me so many times since I started gaming in the early 80’s.
As this game looks and plays so good, it’s a disgrace for T10 not to have learned for the FH3 PC launch debacle.
It’s the same all over again, and their reputation is going downhill at an alarming rate across the internet.
I started the game, and then on the in game menu I removed my internet cable.
Wanted to test if the game maybe crashed while trying to sync/save and update my profile after the race, as it always crashes when advancing to the payout screen at one point. Well, it’s just the same, after the 4th race in my current career series it CTD on me again.
Check windows event viewer for the last few admin errors. Mines is almost always a driver crash with Fm7, followed by a CTD.
Fm7 is thee crash-iest game of 2017 for me. No other title has CTD’s of this nature, this often, in such a short time frame. Even ME Andromeda (which is extremely buggy) didn’t crash this much. Its REALLY saying something when EA can produce a more robust product that MS.
Re-launched, managed to race an entire 2 lap race, smooth as silk. The race results menu even loaded quickly. Final lap of next 3-lap race … you guessed it: CTD.
This is EVEN WORSE than before. And I thought before was awful enough. At least it could run about a half hour before. Now I’m lucky to get 5 minutes.
Follow-up: yesterday I played for an entire hour, and every race went super smooth. No frame rate drops or anything. Menus were still unbearably slow with audio & visual glitching. Whatever’s going on, it seems entirely random. Gonna try getting a few races in this morning.
UPDATE: CTD on lap 2 of my first 3 lap race. Completely random behavior. Well, makes sense in light of yesterday’s Week In Review (News - Forza) where they only claim to have fixed a memory leak in upgrading/livery.
First race. CTD before reward screen as well. I have pretty much the same specs as OP, except my 6600K is overclocked and I have a bit more RAM. I got all my monitoring and overclocking programs ON, as well as Game Mode and Game Bar. I won’t be shutting them off anymore, as we all know and it has been proven, that makes ZERO difference.
I’ve just counted the number of CTD’s i’ve had since the launch on Sep 29th… checked & counted in “Event Viewer” … 186 number of crashes!
One hundred and eighty six, that’s right! 186 times it crashed and interrupted this otherwise beautiful game to bring me back to my beloved desktop.
I wonder if the crashing/memory leak was even addressed in this patch, the patch notes are not available yet. For all we know, they have not even provided a possible fix for these issues yet, which would make me sad though.
This seems to be the actual case here. The patch did nothing for the memory leak or any CTD’s on pc or the xbox. The fact the games crashing even on the console is just ridiculous. I’d love to get a refund since it’s been over a month and I still can’t play this game. [Mod edit - WSD - Profanity and alluding to profanity is against the Tos] from a company of this size, if it was some small indie dev I’d give them a break, they’ve had 2 forza games on PC before this one and fixed both of them MONTHS after release. How they can still get the performance so wrong AGAIN, is just indescribable. Really [Mod edit - WSD - Profanity and alluding to profanity is against the Tos] off about this.
Folks, try disabling dynamic settings. I have a sneaky feeling that the games dynamic graphics changes are causing graphics driver crashes which then cause the CTDs. I have managed two races post patch now with manually set gfx options. It might help, or it might not but its worth a shot at least.
I read another thread this morning where someone indicated that they went back to ALL default settings (except resolution) and that let them run 12+ races instead of 3 before CTD. Give it a try?
I am so close to trying to get a refund but its like I still have hope and want to see if the game gets fixed… I dont have a racing cockpit so everytime I want to play Forza I take out my wheel and set everything up for it to just crash over and over I cant even get a single race in on multiplayer. I just know that if I get a refund for the 150$ CAD I will spend it and wont be able to repurchase the ultimate edition when they actually fix the game lol
