Thanks for the insight.
Just a heads up, but Forza Motorsport still isn’t working, even with the latest Proton Experimental build from last week.
Just touching base on this. Motorsport still isn’t working when running even with the new Steam Client Update for Steam Deck.
Just an update: Forza Motorsport still isn’t working even with the latest Proton Experimental from August 8, 2024.
I spoke with a Wine developer and they said Proton could stub Gaming Services (essentially make a fake one) and it could get the game to run, but without online features.
But if you have a Windows install by any chance, could you try copying over the Gaming Services files onto Forza Motorsport’s Proton prefix (I’m not exactly sure where, but copy them to their equivalent location). Also, try to export the Gaming Services registry keys (they will be at [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServices] and [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServicesNet) and import them to the game’s Proton prefix’s registry with Protontricks.
Lmk if this works.

This is excellent news! I would love to help but unfortunately I don’t have a Windows install that I can test this on.
Unfortunately the game without online features I assume it is useless, as rivals or even the career mode needs permanent connection. So it will be only for free play mode.
Free play mode would be better than nothing
Well I mean, the only way we could get the game running fully is if Turn 10 intervened.
Heck, for Turn 10, it could be as easy as distributing the required components somewhere in the game’s folder structure. If I understand logistics correctly, it may only take a bit of development time to do this.
Btw, if you are able to, can you explain what your Forza Insiders status means? Just curious.
EDIT: Looking into the Forza Insiders program, I see you have some sort of direct communication with the Turn 10 developers. Can you relay this to them please?

I second this. @Kesselring1987, can you please relay this potentially easy fix to the developers (Turn 10)?
It could mean thousands more players joining the community and result in the Forza Motorsport franchise getting a significant boost.
This post is in the right place, suggestions hub is where dev team look for the requested features by the players.
However, I would bring this issue in the insiders program if possible, thanks
