Early access to Forza Motorsport 6 begins today for Forza 6 Ultimate Edition owners!
I wanted to make people aware of an issue with launching Ultimate Edition today. Players who purchased the Ultimate Edition before 8/31 but have not since updated their Xbox One, have disabled auto-updates, or have not gone online since pre-ordering, may still have just the Forza Motorsport 6 “stub file” (essentially a placeholder) on their Xbox consoles, and not the full pre-downloaded version of the game. For those players, launching the stub file will cause the game to return to the dashboard without prompting the player to download a CU for the full game. Affected players can simply delete this stub file and re-download the game from “My Games & Apps” but will need to download the full game before being able to play it.
An easy way to find out whether you have the full game or the stub file is to look at the image associate with the game. Examples:
FULL GAME IMAGE:
STUB FILE IMAGE:
While we expect this problem to only affect a minimum number of players, I wanted to make sure that those affected know that we were aware of the problem.
I did too. Now I’m reinstalling and it’s sitting at 1%.
Another strange thing…all of my DLC for Forza 6 shows the Forza 5 icon in the bottom corner. If I try to launch Forza 6 from one of the DLCs it starts Forza 5.
***, this could take longer.
1% is between 3 and5 minutes, which makes 100% at least 300 minutes.
I could be happy, if I can get a short glimpse of the game, before I got to go to work., which is in a bit more than 7 hours.
I paid for this???
How is it posible you made and update at the time you are supposed to be playing??? You have many days before to do that.
Before 15:01 CET it says that is too early to play the game and at 1500 it starts to make an update!!! And it’s taken more than usual. It’s on 3% and it has 40 minutes downloading??
What time I’m supposed to be playing??? Tomorrow??? Who is going to refund me for this issue??? Because I paid more to play it early.!!!
