Server - Can't connect to horizon life in forza horizon 5

Yep, same with me. I was playing absolutely fine last weekend. Jumped on today to try and get through the festival playlist and can’t complete one of the challenges where you need to match with other online players. Additionally, nothing happens with me when i attempt to join hoirzon life I do not get a network error or anything it just doesn’t work.

I’m having the same issue right now, since yesterday. Didn’t play for over a year, downloaded it, logged into the same account I used when I got on. But when i hover over online my players/friends buttons is grayed out saying I can’t play in offline mode and I should try to connect to horizon life, but when I do, it loads in the bottom left corner and just keeps me in the same place, nothing happens. However, when i switch to a different xbox account on my PC it will work online and I can see people. I have the steam version though. If anyone has any ideas or fixes please please please post here to help us all :sob:

unable to join session and its so annoying… we seldom get a chance to connect as a group and we can’t connect online!

Im on Xbox series x, its just been constantly disconnecting and reconnecting over and over for the last 2 weeks every time I get on forza.

I had the same issue and I tried checking my firewall, restarting router/pc, log on and off on my accounts, updating drivers, verifying game files etc. nothing worked…

Finally I tried spawning in one of my houses in Mexico instead of hot wheels dlc AND IT FIXED!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH <3

It really does work!! Thank You!!! That makes absolutely NO sense!

I’m glad fixed your problems too! I tried everything out of desperation and was shocking this was the solution :joy:

I’ve wasted 3 days on this. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
it makes no sense tho.

Im having the same issue. Ive only been playing a few days and its been fine but it says “forza horizon server is not available at this time” but im connected to the internet and can download blueprints and tunes and see other players. I also dont have the hotwheels expansion so im already spawning at my house for the above fix.

I have same problem as you do guys but that respawning thing in houses doesn’t helps. Any other ideas?

So guys my problem is solved. It turns out my antivirus Norton 360 was blocked Brandmauer settings. I deleted that antivirus and turned on Brandmauer for all connections. No issues anymore. Horizon life connected =))

Perfect, this has worked.

Thank you so much!

Same it’s been happening to me for 2 months tried everything to fix it nothings working this is bull how they can update cars and simple bugs but can’t fix a server issue

I’m actually having this on Xbox One S.

I accidentally clicked home whole in Online Freeroam when I was in a Convoy and when I loaded back in I got the Seasonal Intro once with a Fallback series then again with the proper series.

Once I got past the series screens I couldn’t connect to Horizon Life or rejoin my convoy.

Very strange.
