Hello guys! I recently eyeballed the new forza motorsport game and also saw it for a decent price on g2a. Problem is, I’ve seen many people who are outraged by the game. Everyone complains about bugs and glitches etc. But so far, the people that I watched, were later discovered by me to be playing online and experiencing these bugs. Even so, when I tried to google “forza 7 singleplayer bugs” it would only show me threads and discussions about the same thing: the online part of the game. Now, all that I want is to play a car racing game that isn’t too challenging so that I can have some fun after all. My final question is: Do game breaking bugs exist in the singleplayer campaign of the game or not? And as a result: Should I buy the game or not?
To sum up my experience with the game, had Forza 7 since release, have not been able to play it in 7 months, constant CTD’s, graphical glitches and poor performance, even on well above recommended hardware, my advice is to stay well away, even the tech support are useless, no one cares.
Are you playing on a Xbox or a pc?
If it is a Xbox, I’ve only had a couple of minor issues with the game. One is the tune doesn’t load correctly in the tuning area before the race and have to go back out to a different page and apply the tune and the other was at Suzuka in the rain, the game kept crashing if I ran more than 2 laps but no other circuit did this.
If you’reon pc, then I gave up after the game kept crashing to desktop after each race, taking forever (2hrs+) to sync between the xbox and pc and losing tunes.
Other posters who play on pc wold give you a better idea of where the game is from the POV
No one is going to report in the support section about how great the game is.
I’ve had little to no issues online, even less in single player.
Paint shop bugs, tuning bugs, car bugs, race bugs…
You get the idea, on any given day i will experience bugs in the single player on PC, on xbox not many bugs at all.
One of my “favourite” annoyances is that in the paint booth sometimes a key press will register once, sometimes twice. So you’ll click “A” and sometimes it will do “A”, sometimes “AA”. this is annoying to the point i’ve given up painting. This is on both systems. Whereas other bugs like track disappearing happen only every now and then, but only on PC.
Pay your money, take your chance!
Been playing on PC since the early release and initially got occasional CTD but not had a single one for months. I have to question the issues everyone has because I haven’t had any single issue for a very long time, on both my old midrange PC and my current high end PC. Runs like a dream, butter smooth with no stuttering, no CTD’s or anything.
At least on PC, most of the single player bugs and crashes seem to be more or less resolved at this point. I used to get semi-regular CTDs, but the game seems to be pretty stable now.
Just be aware for the singleplayer campaign that it is extremely repetitive, and with the new homologation system and divisions there’s a LOT more race restrictions than previous games, especially in terms of tuning. There aren’t any open races at all in the singleplayer campaign where you can build up the car of your choice to a target PI and race against a wide variety of other vehicles. You’ll always be racing in a division of some sort (some of which make no sense with their vehicle lineups), so no racing of japanese street racers against modern muscle for example unless you do free play.
The AI racers are still terrible as well, and can be extremely annoying to race against. They have virtually no situational awareness and will push you around trying to stay on the racing line. The difficulty varies dramatically between tracks without changing the AI difficulty, there are some tracks they are quite good at, and others they really struggle with. Not to mention the power handicap they get at higher levels that makes certain tracks with long straight unwinnable with higher AI difficulties.
You’ll also need to run long races and get mod cards and use them to have any reasonable amount of cash for purchasing the levelup reward cars you’ll need for the later events. Also, start the game with the McLaren F1 (otherwise you’re wasting a million free credits). Just a few things the game doesn’t really tell you.
The driving model is great though, so at its core it’s still fun to play if for nothing else to set fast lap times and collect more cars than you can ever hope to race (although the locked cars system is major PITA with many of the cars only having been available via time-limited online events, and so are no longer available with no guarantee of future availability).
I will reply to you with a question:
Do you want to be frustrated every single race in career mode with drivatars ramming you and pushing you out of the track? In 8 months T10 never fixed the “ai”, or as…artificial stupidity.
It’s like drivatars don’t care about the presence of other cars on the track. They’re like on rails in corners.
By the way decreasing/increasing drivatar aggressiveness won’t make a big difference.
You could try the demo, might give you an idea how the game runs on your PC.
It’s disappointing to hear it’s still like that, but not surprising.
Good AI is way too underrated in games, even in ones where the majority of plays don’t even play online.
FM7 has managed to single-handedly make me no longer consider getting anything FM related in the future.
I have owned every FM and FH title, and I think that I have bought all the DLC too… At the very least I have bought 90% of it between FM and FH, Bur yeah Forza Motorsport is dead for me unless they VASTLY overhaul it in the future.
OK to answer I play om Xbox One S and a Micro PC only MP I do is once a week I have over 1.700 hours in game play mostly on the Xbox and all most all of it Single player with very few problems A couple of Crash to Home or desk top but would be no more that 4 times and I believe one of those times was the Fault of Xbox Live. The car Menu is the biggest hurdle as it can get slow but as long as you don’t rush it and use the filters it is OK.
The racing is a ton of fun I use both a controller and Wheel Controller takes less skill than a wheel, as Forza is designed to be used with a controller over a Wheel.
Are there Game busting bugs in Single Player I would have to say No not for the set up I have Should you buy the game I don’t really know but I have found it to be well worth the money and where ales can you get 1,700 hours of fun for $100 or so that is like 17 cents per hour super cheap.
I run it on a Tiny Intel NUC See Details bellow. And a Xbox One S 2TB.
Intel® NUC Model NUC8i7HVK
Intel Core i7-8809G 3.1GHz to 3.8GHz (up to 4.2GHz Turbo)
2x 16GB DDR4 2400+ SODIMMs
Radeon RX Vega M GH 1063-1190MHz GPU, 800MHz Memory 4GB
512 GB M.2 SATA SSD
1TB M.2 SATA SSD
Integrated Wifi Intel® Wireless-AC 8265 + Bluetooth 4.2
Thanks everyone for your support. Just wanted to make sure I don’t waste my money. Guess it’s KCD for me. It’s a game of which the devs are actually working on fixing bugs and implementing new stuff.

Forza 7 is the absolute worst of the Forza series and it should’ve been labeled Forza Horizon 3 Apex 2.0 based on the fact that they took away the recipe that made Forza an Iconic semi-simulation racer. The countless bugs make it even worse and playing offline makes no difference because whether you’re building cars, customizing cars or racing, it will regularly freeze at random times which is incredibly frustrating, save your money. Forza 7 is an excellent example of how great ideas can be destroyed by the corporate culture because the bean counters think they can create a bigger market for the game without realizing they’re effectively losing the customer base that made Forza into a franchise in the first place. Forza 4 was an absolute masterpiece with countless cars, tracks and multiplayer customization with so many options you’ll struggle to find any criticism, it’s also the only reason I hang on to my xbox 360. I have so many hours dedicated to Forza 4 I would be embarrassed to share the total, but even so, I have no regrets. Forza 6 is your best bet if you don’t own it already, it’s the last of what made Forza great without loot boxes, custom dealerships and constant bugs that result in game crashes.
I have had nothing but “minor” issues on XBox1. All in all it is a good game. A great introduction to sim racing.
I am two components away from a gaming PC (come on Amazon). Then it will be Iracing. Bye Bye Forza, and thanks for the introduction.
If you have a one X and a 4k T.V. it’s an amazing thing…
There are issues there are bugs, AI is far better and more natural when you turn “limit aggression” off for some reason. It’s not more aggressive but it will actually deviate from the racing line and run wheel to wheel whereas default is a high speed train on the same line. Also setting race length to long makes a big difference. On normal race length and unbeatable A.I. you have to play bumper cars as you always start mid grid. On long races you can pick your way through so you see less extreme behaviour from the A.I. and have time to catch the faster ones.
Since I got my one X I’ve really started enjoying it, but didn’t rate it much over 6 on the normal Xbox one. Will say I didn’t experience a system crash on either machine despite having a launch day spec Xbox one.
Looking at the Microsoft store shows that both Forza 7 and Horizon 3 is on sale. Due to the glitches in Forza 7, would Horizon 3 be a better one to get especially for a windows based PC?
I have an Omen 880-030 with a Ryzen 7 1700 (3.00 GHz) with 16 GB DDR4 a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 running Windows 10 Home 64-Bit. Running the Demo on both games I did not run into any issues (except for the Horizon 3 Demo it keeps starting from scratch every time I start it).
For the love of god, anyone, dont buy any forza game or anything from microsoft store, ever. I made a mistake and bought motorsport 7 for pc (as i dont own an xbox). I used to be a big fan of Forza-games. Since the start the game has not worked properly, stuttering, glitches, crashes, poor performance. Forza tech dont care. Reading the official list of known issues is a mile long and they wont even fix them. Im dissapointed of the product and asked for a refund, never ever a forza game for me
Have to say I’m permanently out on Forza too. I paid $40, I’ve never made it through the benchmark or completed a lap.
3 words. End of life.
Buy something else.
This kind of shows the state of mind where triple-A gaming and live services brought us to. This game is not like Fortnite or Apex Legends or whatever game as a service one plays. Just because the developers are not providing any new feature updates and patches does not mean the game is unplayable. At least on the Xbox One the game is still working very well including the online modes and people can still purchase the game. The single player modes are working fine even though the AI is somewhat questionable. 10-20 years ago when you bought a game in most cases you could assume that the game will work in the future even after the developers stopped supporting it. There are people still playing Diablo 2, Star Craft, Halo, Resident Evil 4, Counter-Strike, etc.
