[XBOX] - Disappointing release. Many issues

Xbox One Issues:
• A detailed summary of your issues. Please provide specifics like car, track, camera view, etc.)
• Screenshots or video clip of your experience if available
• If an error message, the exact verbiage of the error message you’re receiving
• Steps you’re taking before you experience your issue
• Any accessories you’re using outside of an Xbox controller

Early release or not, this is a hugely disappointing game launch. UE purchased digitally via xbox store, v. 1.106.2356.0

  • Game crashes on various screens - Free Play menu, Buy a Car menu, when loading a previously started event series, loading vinyls, etc.
    Haven’t yet received any VIP bonuses for playing all the previous titles (Tier awards), even though the animations played. VIP bonus features are not going to be permanent?!
    When I get frustrated enough to close the game (back to home screen) during a loading screen, my entire Xbox is laggy afterwards. YouTube lags, opening the restart menu lags, etc. It’s like the game is taxing my xbox beyond it’s limits somehow?

  • No screenshots here.

  • No error messages.

  • Steps I’m taking??? I’m just trying to play the freaking game.

  • Accessories? Not yet, haven’t tried multiplayer yet (headset) because of other posts about problems.

Those are my initial problems, among many other problems noted on FM and reddit forums such as lag or game crashes in multiplayer. Saw someone post that they couldn’t add AI to a multiplayer race, etc., etc.

BTW, the loading screen to resume an event series I started last night, is STILL stuck behind me as I typed this whole statement out and made edits to it, ~11 minutes now.

Game is now crashing back out to the home screen (once) and shut down my xbox once when trying to resume a race series… Guys, this is freaking horrible. $100 is a HUGE amount of money for a video game and this is such a let down so far.

For your Forza Faithful rewards, are you saying they were presented to you but you no longer see them available? If so, this is a known issue and we are currently looking into this.

Can you please provide us with the exact OS version on the Xbox console you’re using? You can find this information by going to Settings>System>Console Info>OS version. Please provide the entire number on both lines.

Thanks.

It is terrible. All you see is constant issues with game crashes at different points in the game. I can’t progress any further than the 3rd race in my career mode an Watkins Glen now consistently crashes my game. It’s not something you’d expect from a title that’s into its 7th generation.

I feel like we’ve paid £80/$150 to just be some form of beta tester for turn 10.

This is the exact same issue im having.

Ive restarted xbox, ive removed myself from preview program, reverted back to old dashboard.

I then deleted all my saved and restarted FM7. Played the demo tracks, selected the Hot Hatch, choose the Mini GP.

The first 2 races where fine. The 3rd race after the 2nd lap the track just stopped loading and went all black. I was racing on a black track.

I finally managed to complete this track and then it was the 4th out of 4th. Watkins Glen. As soon as you get to the end of the straight and into the right hand turn it crashes.

Ive changed difficulty, assist, everything i can think of. Just crashes.

Its done the exact same bugs both times after uninstalling and reinstalling.

What more can i do ? My career is stuck after the 3rd race.

Ive bought and played EVERY Forza game and this is by far the worst release ive seen!

So disappointing.

I completed all the races in the Seeker series and failed to get the Achievement.

Wanting an easy ride for collecting cars I set the Drivatar difficulty to New Racer. On a race of a number of laps (why is the maximum only 50) I was lapping the other cars every 4 laps or so. On a timed race the only way to win was to set the opponents into identical cars to mine, on the same Drivatar setting. I lapped them once in an hour! Same difficulty? No chance!

Limit Aggression On or Off, I can get spun out regardless.

v. 1.107.etc. update did absolutely nothing. Still freezing/crashing scrolling through gear, loading races, just as before… I can’t progress past Breakout, Sport Compact, Yas Marina.

I’d go online but I’m… oh, hold on. Error message on screen.

"There’s a problem with your saved games

To play, you’ll need to delete and sync them again. To do this, go to Settings > System > Storage, then select Clear local saved games. They’ll be synced from Xbox Live the next time you play the game.

Did that. Now stuck in the same spot except this time it didn’t freeze. Just chillin’ on the loading screen for Yas Marina again… can still scroll around but none of the menu icons are loading nor detail pictures of gear, crates, mods, etc. Going into any of those menus causes massive lag… but I can back out and just watch the driver bob, weave and dance around like a doofus. Just hangin’, loading ring spinning nonstop in the race info tab… can’t back out any further without going Home and quitting the game from home menu again.

The update last night was much to my surprise and hope that it would rectify my issue at Watkins Glen too where the game just crashes at the end of the back straight everytime in every mode. But I still can’t progress my career despite the update, exact same thing still happens at the end of the back straight an the game just crashes on me. Seems like the update was more biased for the PC boys judging by the details on it. Never has a new game been so terribly buggy before. Especially a game that’s in its 7th title.

Yikes, sounds like we’re all in similar situations. I’d rather race online but “scared” to with all these bugs and errors. So for now advancing through the game and stacking up cash and cars, but we can’t even do that. Why did I pay a lot of extra money, again? Is I has the dumb?

…this isn’t a first-model-year, new-tech automobile (insert old adage of staying away from first year cars here)… it’s the 7TH TITLE of a WELL established video game series. You guys??? Are y’all serious?? I haven’t even tried to play tonight.

Forza Motorsport 7 recorded this yesterday showing I don’t get xp I have screenshots on my pc of the level 1 bug and the rewards being given to me because the game crashed

Fingers crossed that these bugs get squished in the next update.

I still can’t see how things like this get through beta and QA testing when that many people had been effected.

It’s not like it’s 1 or 2 users.

Very high, loads on Reddit and seen loads on here too

Meanwhile at slight mad studios with Project Cars 2, they’re rubbing their hands and laughing at Turn 10!

I play on PC and I am also getting random crashes as well as the track disappearing (but that is supposed to be caused by excessive use of rewind i guess). Sometimes the game crashes every 5 min sometimes every 45 min, I can’t find one thing to reproduce the crashes. 4690k, 1080ti, 8gb ram, ssd. Looking for a fix soon or will be getting my money back.

2 days later, received 1 million credits and FE cars. Thanks but I still can’t play the game and still waiting on other VIP perks, so… keep at it.
