Unable to Claim Mixer Influence in Game

For some reason, I am not able to claim influence earned in Mixer within FH4. I have my Mixer account linked to my Microsoft account, and I can see that I’m accruing influence in Mixer by watching Forza Horizon streams (clicking the blue ribbon in the FH stream shows me I currently have 194K influence waiting to be accepted in the game). However, when I launch FH4 either on my Xbox One or in Windows 10, I do not see any increase in my influence rating. In Horizon Life, I’m at Mixer Level 1 with 0% progress. I’ve tried unlinking/re-linking my Microsoft account in Mixer, but that didn’t resolve the issue. I’ve rebooted my Xbox and my Windows 10 PC, and still I am unable to claim any Mixer influence within the game. I am not sure what else to try at this point.

Sometimes Mixer can sign you out without you realizing on the Xbox. Check you account is linked/connected by clicking the ‘Mixer’ tab within the games menu. Once you’ve reconnected your account, you may need to refresh/restart up your game to receive the influence.

Thanks for the suggestion. I unlinked my Microsoft account from Mixer, then I launched Mixer from within FH4 on my Xbox. It then re-linked my Mixer account using the on-screen code. I exited FH4 and restarted, and still no influence in FH4.

How far into the game have you played
You dont get the mixer influence until you reach a certain level

Level 20 to be exact

Keep playing
Level 20 is still at the beginning when you have only just entered the forza roster ( main game )

I’m level 141.

Do you game share?
Game Pass?
Do you have Forza Hub on your Xbox?

Is your Xbox & Win10 progress sync’d?

It definitely stopped working for me as well. Sitting at 214k influence in Mixer, level 212, 1*. Starting the game does not add the Mixer influence anymore.

weird I get it every day I play fh4
usually get between 5 and 10 wheelspins, not bad for doing nothing, pity I just get duplicate low value cars now

One thing is not mentioned here.

If you use Mixer while Forza Horizon 4 is running, it may not update.
I don’t think this is a bug.

Quit the game, then restart it. Then you should have unused wheelspins etc, depending on how long Mixer have been running.

When Mixer reaches level 20, and progress to 21, it goes back to 20 and it’s not a bug.
After level 20, you get wheelspins permanently on each level “21” / level up.

I think everything in the game gives Wheelspins permanently when you go past level 20.

I’m signed in to both mixer and FH4 and seem to be stuck at level 2 influence yet I’m over level 25 on mixer. What am I doing wrong?

I have had only 200 Influence per day for the last 3 days or so instead of my usual 100,000.
Is it broken at the moment and if so when is going to be fixed?
I am at Level 465 Prestige 3 before anyone askes how far I have got!

Same. Seems to be happening to everyone. Not showing any accumulation on PC mixer web either.

I disconnected your mixer influence collector
There was a few crayons stuck in it lol
No purple ones though :clown_face::clown_face::clown_face::clown_face:

At that high a level do you even need it lol
Wouldnt you already have so many credits they are unusable
I know its not the point but just wondering
I had left mine going for weeks and was still levelling up because i had forgotten it was still on in the background lol

Talby, Yes, I suppose I don’t really need it but it was something that has kept me going along with the Dailies and crushing unwanted cars from wheel spins!
I have about 612 cars/75 million credits but need more for the 20 or so missing cars!
My grand kids thank you for the crayons by the way. They had wondered where they had gone to!!!

Lol the crayons was an injoke with CR

75 million…cant you buy the rest with that or you hoping they come up in wheelspins
I was able to get a few of the 10 mill cars for about 2 mill in auction house but i did get a lot from wheelspins

They did change itv so you didn’t earn so much from it a month or so ago.
It also depends on who you are watching…wether they are live or not

To be honest I have not looked in the Auction House for a while. Wheel spins are only productive for Credits and usually crushable cars!
All the cars that I am after are about 2.5 to 10 million each in the Auto Shop, I will have to have a look again in the Auction House.

Can confirm. Influence is broken.
Even watching “active” streams like the official Forza channel didn’t give any influence. I still get influence for streaming my own stuff, though, the viewers are only receiving 200 everytime they load up the game.

This has been going on for about a week, but I don’t expect anyone to fix it anytime soon judging by how they dealt with glitches in the past (fixes months later).
