I had to reinstall the game due to that I built a new PC due to new hardware released and sick of people blaming my PC when i submit bug reports for any game. I have not been able to play for a few weeks until today.

The game is completely unplayable on both the rigs stated above, only tested my old PC in case it was something that I had done, but it was not, especially on a freshly installed windows.
The issues I am having are:-
-
When starting the game, regardless on what method (Xbox app, Forza hub, start menu) the game crashes. Aster loading, the game finally launches and sets all graphics options to the default.
NOTE: Dynamic settings has always made the game unplayable. -
Installed the game on my D Drive (its a Hybrid SSHD) and the game is completely unplayable with heavy stuttering every 1-3 seconds, moved to SSD, reluctantly, game was smooth.
NOTE: game played smooth on a standard hard drive before the update. -
“On Track” objective. THIS IS BROKEN. 2 of the Showcase races I have available, one with the Ford Focus at bringing and the other with the Mercedes at Abu Dhabi. I can have the perfect race every time BUT I never get “On Track” objective complete. This means that I can only get 2 medals from this. I have raced both raves 4-6 times on each with same results.
Before the update on 12/5/16 the game was running perfect, no issues, could play for hours with out issue, the game had huge potential within the windows 10 limitations. Now, the game is a failure as it currently stands and anyone who has downloaded for 1st time after the update will have a bad impression of the game.
I have high hopes for this game but with this “Content” Update which add no actual content, its destroyed the game. everything was running perfectly before the update but you cannot do more than 1 or 2 races before you get a white screen and crashes to the desktop. If this is what the direction Forza is heading on PC, then you might as well stop development. The game feels ferry unstable at best now.
