Livery editor unstable, forced to redo intro to career and Private multiplayer

While making a livery the game kicked me out and sent me to the loading screen before making me sit through the introduction video and made me redo the introduction series in career and ever since ive been un able to join private multiplayer lobbies without it telling me I need to complete the introduction even though I did it when the game released in 2023 and again when it kicked out

Write to the support and create a ticket.
Here nobody can help you.

Already did and all I got was automated response that had nothing to do with the problem and they closed my ticket saying to contact xbox support even though its a problem that only happens on this game

Sadly that’s exactly how they thread their customers.
If you’re on PC, there are 2 options you can try.

First in the xbox app under “help” is a repair function.
2nd, re-install the ms gaming services.

For Xbox i don’t know if that exists as well.

Same here on my son’s account, We’re gonna see if we can get it sorted but not looking promising.

He was PC working on the vinyl creator when he lost connection from the server.
He tried to ‘retry connection’ and wouldn’t.
He then closed the game and restarted, it then went through all the intro animations he closed the game again, loaded up his console instead, then it picked up on intro race 2 in the Cadillac.
He has access to all his tunes paints vinyls and otherwise all game data but it is forcing him to do the intro race series in career. The intro multiplayer series has also been completed again twice over.
Tries to join into a private multiplayer session and a pop-up saying the “introductory experience must be completed”
Yeah it’s that and all other career campaign series have the trophies to show completion but also show they need doing again.

Video proof/footage

Bug Info: There is a chance when using the vinyl editor, that the user will get randomly disconnected from the server, and softlocked out of their game. Upon rebooting the game, the game gives the user the First Time User Experience, as if they’ve never played before, and locks them out of Private Multiplayer, as Introductory series is never registered as completed, but game retains all other save progress.
Platform: All Platforms
Edition: All Editions
Account: All accounts
PC GPU: N/A
Peripheral: N/A
Settings: N/A
Attempted fixes: Game reboot but that’s the only fix to get out of the softlock and the cause of the issue.
Content Update: First report was 20th August so before the current content update.

Shoot, that sucks

If this is true, then remind me not to use the vinyl editor

Don’t use the vinyl editor!

I’ve had the same problem for the past 10 days, although mine wasn’t caused by the vinyl editor. I just lost connection whilst in a race, and then upon rebooting I had the return first time user experience and inability to connect to any private lobbies. I’ve spent the past 10 days working with Forza support, but no solution and they have pretty much washed their hands of the problem now and are blaming Microsoft.

I can do everything in the game, career, public multiplayer, rivals, I can even do private mutliplayer, so long as I have created the lobby, but I cannot connect to anyone elses.
