Return of the Infinite Loading Screen

Anyone else having trouble getting the game to load? Twice now I’ve tried to start up the game and it just keeps loading and loading. This was another previously closed topic by support. Just keeps going and never loads.

EDIT: Seems to depend on user accounts. My account loads. My wife’s does not.

Can confirm, my game won’t load starting today. Tried 5 times so far.
Have reset the game, the store, the xbox app, the gaming services, you name it.

Still not loading.

Tried the supposed fixes listed in the closed topic for this and still nothing.

Seems to me like a server-side problem.

Well, maybe not. Was able to get the game to load on the XBox. Drove around for a while and got the daily forzathon and then closed the game. I had hoped that might give it chance to reset and fix the save file on the server but as soon as I tried again to load on the PC, nothing but infinite loading again.

The only thing to get it work now is either play solely on the XBox or delete it all and start over.

I would love if anyone has some other options to try because I’m quite at a loss now.

Fixed it myself.

  1. Log out of XBox App
  2. Log out of Microsoft Store
  3. Windows/Settings/Apps/Installed Apps/Forza Horizon 5/Reset
  4. Log into Xbox and Install game there
  5. Run game and load game from server
  6. Play for a bit and accomplish a task or two
  7. Quit game.
  8. Optional: Repeat 5-7 for good measure.
  9. Back to PC and run game.
  10. Wait however long it takes (I have had this take up to an hour with my account)
  11. Play the game and play for a bit before closing.
  12. Shut down game.
  13. Restart game. If it loads. Fixed. If it doesn’t, curse Microsoft and their stupid X-Box app.

EDIT: You folks on XBox don’t know how good you’ve got it. My account only took about 1/4 of the time it takes to sync on PC. And starting up/loading times… wow. Night and day compared to PC.

And the infinite loading screen returns. First it happened while trying to deliver a car to my location. Once I clicked to send the car to my current location, the game just got stuck in the loading screen. So I had to “End Task” to shut the game down. Now the game won’t start up again. It continues to get stuck trying to load entirely. Dear devs. Just because I have found a work-around to get my game to run, doesn’t mean that’s the solution. A solution is something you all need to do so I don’t have to do my work-around. Not everyone is even capable of doing my workaround without having another platform to load up the game. FIX IT ALREADY!
