I bought this game a few weeks ago cause forza is awesome. However, ever since I bought this (about 2 weeks ago) I’ve had an error every time I try to auction a car, go to the auction house, go to rivals, leaderboards, and storefront (so pretty much 90% of the stuff in the community menu) saying: “This feature has been temporarily disabled. Please see ForzaMortersport.net for more info.” So I’m here.
Problem #2: I’m sure these 2 problems are related, but my friends have gifted me cars. How nice of them. However, I cannot download them. The error here says: “An error occurred when downloading your gift. Please try downloading the gift again later.” We’ll I tried later… I tried later a bundle of times. Nothing new.
Ask your friends what cars they gifted you. Odds are it was a unicorn car and you guys are both banned. Wish they would somehow block that function in game instead of allowing it and then issuing bans, but it’s too late now.
This isn’t quite right, K. If you have a Unicorn in your garage, try gifting it. You won’t be able to. Just as if it had a locked paint or tune on it, the game will balk. However, if a person is a slimy, cheating modder…
This is not directed at the OP. We don’t know what his issue is. He never brought up Unicorns.
@ BOSTON039 - Sorry if this is a dumb question. Do you have a Gold Live account?
It actually IS right. Like you said, if someone is a “slimy, cheating modder”, then they can have the ability to send a unicorn car. Receiving a unicorn car is obviously not blocked by the game, so if a friend who mods bypassed the lock on unicorn cars, they’ll both get banned. The modder will get banned for… Well, that’s self explanatory. The user here would get banned for having a unicorn car not obtained from T10 in his/her inbox.
However, if the user has not had any of these options available since purchasing the game, your point about having a Gold account could also uncover the culprit.
@ The Bulin Wall5
It is true that innocent people can possibly get snagged by unwittingly accepting an illegal car. That is unfortunate. But, we know that the guilty always claim to be innocent as well. So, while justice may not always be served, in the end, this is a business and not a court of law.
What I was responding to earlier was kdogg’s statement “Wish they would somehow block that function in game instead of allowing it and then issuing bans”.
They have blocked it. There are a myriad of things hackers can do to change the game’s functionality by reverse engineering it. The game they are playing is no longer the one Turn 10 created and sold. We can hardly blame Turn 10 for that.
One: I had no idea how I’d be banned. How can you even tell? Like I said, I bought this game 2 weeks (I guess around 4 now) ago. So why I’d bd banned I dunno. Also, I have no idea what unicorn cars are. I have the 2 disk forza 4 game. The one with extra content. But here’s the list of cars my friends have sent me:
IS300
SL 65 AMG Black Series
CCX
S7
G35 coupe
And yes I have gold on Xbox live. On a further note: I can race on Xbox live. Just can’t do any of the options. (Like auction a car)
Okay. The person with the problem is me. I was just using my brothers account since I haven’t been on my account in ages and I forgot about mine. But yes, the cars are:
I have about six cars that I gave layoff at auction and now they are stuck on my list of bids with a stripe banned, how do I get them there and pay my money back?
Check to se if the Parental Guidance has changed. If it has been changed, put it back to allow everything, unrestricted. Then reboot the system, and try again.
Alright. Parental guidance is off. And I’m assuming you mean paints on the cars. And if so, yes. He changed the color of the cars before he sent them to me.
You might have to call Xbox and see what they say. I had a problem with accessing the AH and SF awhile back. They walked me through how to reset and not lose anything.
