This is the 2nd series of Forzathon events and I have been EXTREMELY disappointed in the implementation provided in this game. Unlike, Horizon 3 where the Achievement pop-up right away after completion of your challenge, FM7 DOES NOT! On my first set, I had to re-do the majority of events and recycle Xbox in order for the achievements to pop-up. Today, the 2 events (including 3 challenges each), the same thing has occurred. I COMPLETED all the challenges, no PROGRESS reported on the “scorecard”, got out of the game and came back in, then my first event/series shows ZERO of 3, and the 2nd shows TWO of 3. When will this be FIXED?
@ code = copy completion logic from H3…how hard can that be!! This can be done over a lunch break.
You clearly understand the realities of game development, certification processes, and live service configurations. I’m surprised Turn 10 doesn’t hire you for an hour to fix this for them.

That’s a good one Ju1ce…guess what…I do! I managed hundreds of CS folks for many years in a large corporation! The FM7 release has been very poor compared to previous T10 releases. That is my whole point.
Seems to me there is just a delay between completion and recording as completed.
I did all the challenges for the Merc one last night, on the last one the achievement popped straightaway but the forzathon screen still showed no progress on last part of challenge. Went off and did something else for a bit, came back and message in forzathon tab showing it complete and giving me the car.
This morning quickly set a drfit score in rivals for the Porsche. Checked progress, nothing showing. Set up free play race in Porsche for the next part, by the time that race was completed, checked my forzathon status, challenge 1 under Porsche now showing complete but not yet showing a race completed in a Porsche (which I had just done). Going to do another race now, expect by the time that’s complete, it’ll show 1/3.
Forzathon has worked like this for me since day one. Simply go o the next event.
I did the drift, loaded free play and did 6 laps in a Porsche and then completed two more and then raced the Nurb’ring in a Porscha… and the achievement popped. I agree it’s not working as it did in FH3… but its working
.
Mine actually after a reboot showed 2/3, then, after another exit went back to 0/3. This is WEIRD… I have now run every challenge at least twice…NO achievements! Maybe by the time I wake up tomorrow.

I was on the game at the time the new events were added today and I just happened to be working on the first set of events. So I was actively checking the Forzathon menu and I noticed the new ones move up into the list.
I had not left the game or rebooted my Xbox but the new events were showing and I had progress on the Homestead challenge 89/150. That is because I had just run the autocross on Homestead for the Space Suit event.
However, the game had not added the new achievements to the games list. I think to make the achievements show up that you must reboot the game after the events are up. That made me think that if I had hit the 150mph on Homestead, would have it possibly glitched me out of the challenge because I had not gotten the achievement list to update yet?
If it’s possible that you can progress the challenge before you have the achievement on your list, it maybe possible that achievement does not update when it’s added to the list. That would make it unlockable.
Maybe the game sees that you have done it and you get the reward but not the achievement. I don’t know but someone will get hit by this eventually, if has not already happened today.
I’ve completed missed Forzathon being added to this version. I’ve stopped playing the game because the drivatars were so annoying. It just isn’t fun to play for me.
Usually I have no technical problems with the game but the Forzathon’s have been acted pretty Wonky. I am running the game on the Xbox One X console. After I complete each Challenge in the Forzathon event, the Challenge fails to register as done, even though I know I completed it correctly. I then need to exit the game with the Home button, Quit the game from the Xbox home menu, then, restart the game (not shutting down the console). After the game restarts and gets to its home menu, I can go to the Forzathon menu and it will show the Challenge completed and show the next Challenge in the list that needs to be done in that event. Once I get the event completed with the last Challenge done, the Achievement will popup in a window and say it is completed but the prize will not be in the my Garage and if I go to the Forzathon menu it shows the Challenge not completed. After I restart the game (as stated above) the game’s main menu shows there is a prize waiting in the Forzathon menu box. I go there and I automatically collect the prize with a screen that shows me what the prize is. I am glad we have a much longer window to finish these in, if this is how it’s going to be. I do have to admit, my patience is being stretched ALOT regarding this.
To add to the weirdness, I completed the first event on todays Forzathon, as I did my phone which has the XBox app displayed its completion. But the actual game did not. Restart then it showed. But no reward. Restart again and there’s the car.
There are a lot of problems with this release of FM. I think lots of people would prefer that Turn 10 fix the problems instead of adding new ones.
Forzathons were as buggy (if not more in some cases) in FH3 than so far in FM7. Some people tended to have little problems with them (I was one of them), but there were routinely issues with challenges flat-out not working with particular cars even though they would have been included in the list (like a “Complete a race in a Nissan for 10,000XP” challenge wouldn’t work with half of the Nissans in the game), achievements or rewards not popping up until hours or even days after completing the event, and in at least one high-profile case, the prize car didn’t even exist in the game at the time so NO-ONE could complete it (they gifted it to everyone a few weeks later).
