Welcome to the Forza Motorsport 6 Support Forum. This new forum was created with the goal of identifying unusual game behavior and aid in troubleshooting.

Please… read before posting so that others who are trying to help you don’t have to repeat themselves.

Some tips on using this forum:

  • Read the existing topics and use Search for keywords related to your issue.
  • Read the Game FAQ, Forza Rewards FAQ, Hardware Forum, and official Twitter account.
  • Review the post history of Mechberg and VoodooUomo and other T10 staff for official comments.
  • Reduce duplication by posting in an existing topic on your issue rather than creating a new one.
  • If posting a new thread, use specific keywords in the subject line summarizing your topic.
  • BE SPECIFIC and detailed - all steps you’ve taken, where the issue exists and where it does not exist, car model, exact error messages etc.
  • Keep calm, and help others help you.
  • Be patient - responses or fixes may not be immediate; it takes time to assess, investigate, address, test, and respond with a solution.

Please put feature requests and suggestions in the appropriate Car Wishlist, Track Wishlist, and Feature Wishlist threads stickied at the top of the FM6 Discussion Forum.
