Message Center Empty since July-Update / No more messages & rewards. Please investigate.

Very annoying, this…

Since the big July-Update, the FM7 Message Center is COMPLETELY empty for me. No daily Drivatar rewards, no rivals, and most important: No Forza Hub rewards showing up. Absolutely nothing, even the old messages have disappeared. Empty.

Fact is: It is not a problem with the console. If my son logs in with his account on the same console, he has all the messages as it should be. If I log in: empty message center.

I tried to log in to another console: Same thing here. Absolutely no messages for me.

So there must be a problem with the servers of FM7 and the account binding.

Turn 10, please help, I want my messages back and especially my Forza Hub money…

Same Here.

No rewards messages since 3 weeks ago. I can’t buy the weekly car deals :frowning:

What weekly car deals
The cars in the “specialty” are all unlocked now

But you need some money, dude…
I need my rewards :frowning:

It’s possibly because the server is incredibly slow, it’s been like this for me since the end of the June update

No reward credits for me this morning…message said rewards had already been redeemed! Not true, I collect each Friday morning…with coffee lol!

I got the same problem. The tab for money gifts is gone, so there is no way to get redeemed rewards.
The worst thing is that in Forza 7 gifts expires after only 2 weeks i think, unlike older Forza games except for Forza 6.

Same issue with message center not being able to get my daily payout, worked fine until the July Update.

Same here, i haven’t received any rewards or payments from my liveries being used, please help, I’m running out of money :frowning:

Did a little test on messages.

Deleted game save, resync. No change. Restarts console through setting. No change.

When I launch FM7, I used to get drivatar, gift, rivals notifications before getting in to game. This doesn’t happen anymore.

Now my messages are blank, and no rivals.

Once in game, after a couple minutes rivals will show. Left the game at the menu screen for 10 minutes, 7 messages arrived. Drivatar, design, tune, 4 rivals challenges and my gifted Forza credits.

Don’t know 8f they changed loading order or what’s going on, but it’s not like it used to be on my slow internet.

I tried some of these “tricks”, but Gift menu still never show up.

As for line speed which someone mentions. I have a Fiber 520/520 line which is too fast for most of the internet.

Edit: Forza 7 have been on for hours now, and it’s still buggy.
I also connected to online MP etc, but no change.

This is happening for me as well. I noticed it a few days ago (haven’t booted up FM7 for like a month).

I’ve missed two weeks worth of rewards and Drivatar payouts.

Message Center in all other Xbox One Forza titles all work fine (FM5, FM6, FH2, FH3). Just seems to be FM7.

I wonder why noone from turn 10 want to fix this, and also refuse to check this forum.

It’s been known for awhile that July update broke the message system in Forza 7.

I think it is very naive to assume that no one from T10 is looking at this. Bug fixes take a lot of time, especially on a complex product like a modern video game. If we’re lucky, they’ll have it sorted out in time for the August CU. However, if it turns out to be particularly odd or nasty bug, it could be months before we get a fix.

Proof: I am a software engineer and even small bug fixes take weeks to implement in a live product.

Yes, but it could help that it were working since release to find the bug easier. I still wish they posted something about the issue on forum like they did on other things.
It isn’t a game breaking bug atleast.

Forza 7 is a struggle to get alot of money fast in even with VIP, so me like many others is relying alot on weekly money gifts to get a little boost.
Atleast Forzathon still works to get more cars faster.

Gift menu showed up one time today, but previous week rewards wasn’t there.
After i got today’s reward, Gift menu dissapeared from the game again.

Edit:

Forza 5 server is still offline, so whole message menu is disabled.
Forza 6 server: Online

Thats how the messages menu works since the last update in fm7
It only shows the tabs where you have messages waiting

Sounds like you have other issues affecting you since forza 5 is appearing offline for you

So you have fully shutdown your console including pulling out the power cable and fully power cycled tour modem as well

Forza 7 didn’t catch previous weeks rewards, so it’s buggy. Normally last and this week should have popped up.

My Xbox were fully shutted down yesterday, but didn’t help. I also recently cleaned whole system “just for fun”.

Forza 6,7, Forza Horizon 2 + 3 is online.
Forza 5 have been offline for 2 days.

I have 520/520 fiber line, (Half gigabit up, and half gigabit down) should be sufficent to get Forza 5 online like it were for years until last 2 days.
Ping: 3 ms.

Don’t know your location but I can say that in middle America, FM5 has been online and fine here all last week and all this week so far. I’ve gotten daily Drivatar rewards in it. As for 7, its a peculiar beast. After I posted above about my little test, two days later at home I went in to FM7, and while it didn’t notify me like it used to before the main menu shows up, it did notify me a couple seconds after the main menu appeared and I had several messages, including rivals. But I suspect that because Latothex wanted to make sure I knew that he beat my time…
