"Sign-in Needed" error in FH5 requesting a long term fix

[W0LFSPIDER001]

Hi,

Every time i log in to FH5 i get the sign in needed error, sure deleting the XBL device key and other XBL entries under ‘Windows Credentials’ fixes it for the time being, but every time i turn on my PC and want to play FH5 I have to repeat the same process all over again. I’ve been playing the came for close to 3 years now and only since the past few weeks I’ve beeen encountering this issue… Any help/solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It happened yet again.. from what I’ve noticed it happens every time the seasonal playlist changes… I’m not sure what i should include in the video’s content.. a video of a successful sign-in this week and if the problem pops up next week, a video showing that? is there anything else you’d like me to include like a log file or something like that? just asking…. I’m on Steam..

it Happened yet again… although this issue was marked as solved here , I still have to perform the weekly ritual of deleting all entries under ‘Windows Credentials’ every time the playlist gets updated. I’m a Steam user with a different username for Steam and a different username for Xbox. And yes I Purchased FH5 on Steam in September2022. Nevertheless, I had never had this problem before and it’s only in the past couple of weeks I’ve been experiencing this issue.

Hello

I have been experiencing a persistent issue with Forza Horizon 5 on Steam (Windows 11) for almost two months now. Every time I try to play online or even load into my profile, I get one of the following errors:

• “Sign-In Needed – You may not proceed without being signed in to a profile.”

I have already tried all possible solutions, including:

• Verifying game files on Steam

• Reinstalling the game, Xbox App, and Gaming Services

• Clearing cache and local save data (AppData folders)

• Resetting Xbox Identity Provider and Microsoft Store

• Changing DNS, using VPN, syncing date/time, running as administrator

• Ensuring Xbox services are running in the background

Despite all this, the problem persists. My internet connection is stable, other online games work perfectly, and the Xbox Live services status shows no outages. My Microsoft account is correctly linked to my Steam account.

This issue has made the game unplayable online for me, and it’s been very frustrating since I have been dealing with it for nearly two months.

Could you please escalate this issue or provide further guidance? I would greatly appreciate any support you can provide.

Platform: (Steam)
Edition: (Premium)

You may not proceed without being signed in to a profile

I dont know if i posted this post corecctly but i have a huge problem already tried contacting FH5 support nothing its been 16 hours since i messaged them and still no answer so here is the problem: when i try to log in to play forza i start the game everything is fine but i cant play this message pops up (You may not proceed without being signed in to a profile) It only appears on my main account and my only one. I tried making a new one its working fine. I thought i was banned or something but…

So, idk what happend but when i try to start the game, it says “start game” and when i click on it, a window from microsoft to sign in but its only there for like a second and i cant click on it or anything and then the game says that i cant sign in without a profile. i tried if its better with fh4 and there the window stays open so i can log in but idk why its not working on fh5. i tried signing out and in on xbox and microsoft AND steam and i tried to restart my pc and stuff but it still wont work.

[GaymerGirl67]
