Last update (12/5/16) broke the game

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.

Tested Rig specs

New PC
CPU: Intel i7-6700K
GPU: EVGA GTX 1080 Founders Edition (Reference clocked)
RAM: 64Gb Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR-4
HDD: 2x OCZ RevoDrive 350 480Db (Raid0), 1x Seagate SSHD 2TB, 3x Western Digital Black 4TB
OS: Windows 10 Pro (version 1511, build 10586.318)

Old PC
CPU: 2x Intel Xeon E5-2687W v3
GPU: 4x nVidia Titan X (SLI disabled for Forza)
RAM: 266Gb Kingston Reg ECC
HDD: 2x OCZ RevoDrive 350 480Db (Raid0), 4x Western Digital Black 4TB
OS: Windows 10 Pro (version 1511, build 10586.318)

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:-

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. “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.

Same here. My game was perfectly playable, now with this latest update I can’t even start the game because an “unknown error” occurred. Worked perfectly up until now!

The game fails to launch EVERY time since last week. Now completely unplayable. It stays on until the Ford GT appears, and then just crashes without a word.

That’s exactly the point when it crashes for me. Well I should now say used to crash as today, everything is running perfectly fine. I do not know why, nothing has been installed or uninstalled from my pic and it has not been restarted since 2 days ago. Did they do a ninja patch and not tell anyone? or is it server related?

I did notice that the point it crashed for me is the point that it normally tries to login to Xbox. Maybe they had server issues? The Devs don’t seem to be very communicative to the player base like most developers are starting to do these days. Turn10 start updating us please. It helps us know that things are getting fixed or there are issues that are unforeseen etc.

ninja patch , are you use a legal win10 ?
if not you know now the answer .

i like the ninja patch : !

if your w10 is legal you should get a mail or call .

otherwise its a little fail.(reset w10 ,answer all ingomming emails)
