One of the benefits of Series S was always how rapidly quick it loaded tracks/races. But ever since the recent update, tracks take forever to load. Especially Le Mans which loads and loads. Funnily enough, Nordshleife loads fairly quickly, but other tracks take much, much longer. Anyone else notice this?
I noticed this yesterday too, but on PC and that with a Samsung 990 Pro that is almost the fastest Gen4 NVMe on the market.
But for whatever reason i only had long loadscreens in the first 3 races, then they were short again.

I just had a 2+ minutes long loadscreen for Yas Marina. WTH IS WRONG WITH THIS GAME?
Same for freeplay for me xbox x
I noticed it’s only certain race tracks and not always. The tracks i had very long loadtimes so far are, Hockenheimring, Nürburgring including Nordschleife so the full track, Yas Marina. As you can see it’s only race tracks that have been added later into the game, i wouldn’t be suprised if this also happens on Daytona.
Usually my loadscreens are like 10-12 seconds or something, but if it’s long then it’s really long like 2+ minutes.
I have not noticed anything weird since update 5.I’m also on a Samsung nvme/gen4 with win11.I’ll keep an eye for any long loads but honestly have not seen anything different.
Same on xbox for me, started after the most recent update
I’m getting terrible stuttering in the UI menus & the amount of time it takes for a car to actually appear in the home space is around 20 seconds now.
This is on Series X,

How do you guys create a post? I want to report a issue with the new update since the update my Thrustmaster TS-XW racing wheel base has been making a noise like its trying to download something and can feel it through the wheel. Ive tried uninstalling the game no luck i have all the current updates on the wheel base from thrustmaster. It’s only Forza my other sim games its fine and when at dashboard its fine it was also fine before update i have not seen a post that anyone else is having this problem.
Maybe just create a topic there somewhere.
There is this blue “+Create Topic” in the top right, there you can create new topics.
Or use the search bar maybe it exists already.

It just happened to me again. 1 1/2 minutes or something loadscreen for Hockenheimring. They need to fix this mess.

I have been seeing a lot of excessive load times in this release, some indefinite because I need to force-quit the game. Right now I am sitting at the load screen at the first open tour C-class race at Yas Marina. I finished the practice session, but it has been loading the race for 15 minutes now. I think it is safe to say it is not making forward progress at this point and will need to force-close and restart the game. Have had similar situations loading other tracks in free play. Loading the vinyl editor, loading My Designs, searching for tunes, etc. Sometimes it comes up after several minutes, sometime I exit the game after I get tired of waiting. You guys need to put some kind of an abort button on your load screens if long load times are going to be the norm.

Luckily i didn’t have this happening yet, well indefinite loadscreens. The maximum race track loadscreens i had were around 2 minutes, but i had these endless loadscreens if downloading designs from other players. But that somehow stopped in Update 4.0 for me iirc.
I thinks lots of the issues have to do with their horrible servers, maybe they are so overloaded with changes nonstop by design artists or whatever.
If you don’t care how the other cars look like, you could try to deavtivate the designs (liveries) of the drivatars (AI cars). Maybe that helps, because these designs get downloaded in every race.
I wish it would save these liveries permanently in a cache or something, so the more you already downloaded the better the game runs. I wouldn’t mind if the design folder gets large on my NVMe, even if it’s 20 gb or whatever at some point. If that removes the stuttering etc. i would rather have them saved locally.

Another issue: Game crashes (XBox Series S) on NORDSCHLEIFE when creating custom race and selecting multi class specific cars.
Some other tracks seem fine. But if I create a race on Nordschleife and select any number of opponent cars and select multi class cars (I personally choose exact cars I want to race in other classes), the game crashes. Wasn’t an issue before.
PC to , game installed on m.2 , all tracks/races are loading very slow takes a few minutes , its just horrible now . started after latest update , first i thought it was the nordschleife track , but its all tracks even the small ones

I’ve noticed this issue too after installing the Update 5 but it seems loading times are back to normal now. Perhaps Hotfix 5.1 fixed it? Or it was a matter of shader compilation or something?
EDIT: Scratch that, after the Update 6 they seem longer again… or even endless (I hope it’s just one-time anomaly).
Glad I’m not the only one who noticed this. Verified the cache. Its installed on a Samsung M.2. Most races take 20-40 seconds to load to the menu, then 5-10 seconds for the voiceover about the track on a black screen. Then another 15-30 seconds to actually load the car onto the track to start the race. Tried turning liveries off but I see no change in times from that.
I could do an entire Relic fissure in Warframe and be back to the rewards screen quicker than it takes me to start a race on this game. And that requires syncing with 4 other people, where this is entirely local loading.
This entire game was poorly made from the ground up.

This is no longer an issue on consoles after Update 6.
Same for the fuel loads taking ages to calculate.
