Performance - Game Freezes at End of Some Races

I recently updated my GPU and came back to the game on about 2/28/23. At the end of some races, the game will freeze right at the last second before the finish line with the audio still playing. Waiting does not fix this and I have to force the game to close. When reopening the game, the race will not be finished. If I complete the race again, it seems to finish fine. I have not had to redo a race twice. Some races do not do this though and I can complete several in a session without the issue arising.

Specs:
3700X
6800XT
32GB RAM
All drivers update. Game uninstalled and reinstalled with no affect.

I had this exact same thing happen while playing opens in a convoy. My game froze at the end of Jungle Descent and the sound of my car played on loop. I alt+f4ā€™d and it kept playing the sound in the background, so I had to forcefully end the process in task manager.

Hereā€™s a video of it, at the end:

Thatā€™s exactly what I saw/had happen while playing. Last frames before the end with the audio continuing.

Iā€™m having the same issue and it really happens incredibly often The freezes donā€™t happen in freeroam only after finishing a race.

I tried to roll back to nVidia driver 528.49 to see if it would solve the problem since I used that driver all through series 17 but it didnā€™t help. I donā€™t think this is an issue with the drivers especially since OP uses an AMD GPU while Iā€™m on 3060Ti.

I havenā€™t had any freezes in freeroam, only at the end of races.

This issue still occurs as of 2/4/23 with the Rally Adventure DLC.

Yep, intermittent crashing here as well. Steam version.
Consistent on Event Lab races created on the Goliath, 3 times in a row for me. Created another custom race at Orogrande, no issues with that one

Itā€™s more like a freeze not crash. I find out that if you wait 3-5min the game unfreezes and goes to the winning screen.

The issue has been occurring for a long while, even on older nVidia drivers and prior to Rally Adventures release, but seems to occur more often now than before.

The freeze can occur just after crossing the finish line, right after selecting ā€œcontinueā€ after the ā€œFinished in xPositionā€ screen, during the XP, Accolades or Reward screens.

iā€™m having this issue too, is there any fix?

Same for me, forza freeze for some minutes after finishing a race. began happening after the last rally adventure download. Right now is happening during the seasonal trail. Pls find a fix, love the game and never happened before.

This happened to me several times whilst doing a few races.

I thought this is sort of fixed since I didnā€™t really have problems for a couple weeks but unfortunately itā€™s back and the occurence is really horrible now. Itā€™s happening every 3-5 races now.

The Forza team needs GPU trace information to further investigate this issue. Please submit a ticket at Forza Support to provide your information there.

I really wanted to record this but unfortunately I get an error in command line that says ā€˜221 was unexpected at this timeā€™ and the log.cmd does not start.

Iā€™m having the same problem. Iā€™m not sure if itā€™s the game or the computer. (R5 3600, RTX 3070, 16GB RAM)

After all this time and this freeze continues to happen. As I mentioned it happen as soon as a race is finished in trial and seasonal races, it freezes for 3 to 5 minutes and then it restores. Main issue is with the seasonal trial if happens at the end of the first or second race as you lose and have to begin again.

Rgds!!

I didnā€™t wait that long to wait if the game resumes, i just kill it from Task Manager lol. I prefer to boot it again than wait tbh. Also the game is freezing in the middle of some races too randomly, but itā€™s very rare and almost never happens.

Yeah, sometimes a really fast racer all of a sudden ends up last place and you donā€™t see anyone taking them out or that they crash, i also have seen some players car just disappear from the race, not the ā€œin pause menuā€ thing, they are just gone lol.
