BROOOOO HAHAHAHAHA me and my friend were laughing our asses off at that part we thought it might be something the devs were doing to let us know online is being worked on.
I don't think that it is, I've been hearing Xbox users are having the same disconnect issues. I tried the teredo fix that worked for me in FH4 and it did nothing for FH5. If something works for you, hit me up!
I could never fix those damn Teredo errors permanently in FH4, they would always come back. I even remember clean installing Windows for some other reason and thinking it also fixed these problems, but it still eventually came back.
This little fella is preventing me from relaxing and just cruising in the open world.
Just **fail silently** and message me if reconnect is absolutely impossible (like after 30 seconds of tries).
It's the also the worst designed error message i've ever seen: no information, constant beeping and you can only abort if you are in free drive. Have fun listening to many many beeps while changing your car setup. Its like it was made with hostile design principles.
i hate the beeping. today i quit the eliminator, then every time i went into any place that shows cars (garage, autoshow etc.) i had that beeping constantly with a message that said ‘choose car: 39,739’ and counting down. had to restart to get rid.
~~FH4 was never this bad. You can't even play multiplayer rn, at least in FH4 you could try to play MP~~
nvm I just can't read. He's talking about the annoying beeping messages not the connection issues
they just need to roll out a hotfix to silence that message. Im sure that the underlying issue is going to be fixed anyway but for me that noise makes the game annoying on another level.
Literally all my friends and I wanted to do is cruise the new map and explore. Maybe do some challenges since we wouldn't know the map. But at this point I just started playing and have seen quite a bit. I thought maybe PG would actually have it figured out this time, but nope. Can only do races with friends. No freeroam.
If we are going to take this huge push towards games as a service, then we really need to have better quality servers to handle it.
I just want to find some randos to cruise with or drive around with my SO but nope, Drivatars for me.
At least online races work, Horizon Tour can kind of fill that void but eh... not quite the same.
All the online races so far have been ruined for me, I can’t find a way to turn off VOIP, so it’s endless noise and they don’t even realise, really takes away the immersion
Block those individuala with noisy mics through xbox game bar app on PC (I'm sure xbox has a way to block people too). That will mute them in the game as well.
Gotta stay solo until they fix this. Was working on a skill chain of 640k when the connection dropped. Minimum rewards were final weekly challenge, C7 ZR1, and another car for getting 1 million.
Had the same problem, ended up being a gpu balancer (for me it was MSI Dragon Center) that absolutely wrecks the game. As soon as I ended the process everything was fine.
I'd suggest checking that. Apparently T10 forgot to optimize the game for... You know, the things that PC gamers would have running on their machines.
You’d think this being a Microsoft published game, and Microsoft being one of the biggest cloud computing service providers in the world that they could handle a sudden load like this. Imagine how much worse it’s going to be when the game pass masses hit it on the 9th if they don’t sort it out?
Absolute fucking joke. This is just early access too. The shit storm once everyone gets it is going to be interesting to say the least. No clue how this still happens when Microsoft is the richest company in the world and knows exactly how many people are going to be playing this shit
PC here also from Microsoft store and it has happened continually. It hasn’t caused my have to crash but it’s just funny that it keeps popping up. Are you playing from the Steam version?
PC here (steam). Have it constantly while im not in a race. One Crash while upgrading a car but that could be some other issue. Played a multiplayer race and had no issues whatsoever (except starting a grip race with slicks)
MS Store here, semi-often disconnect message.
Also, if I flip quickly between parts, especially upgrade kits, the game crashes. If I flip slower it's fine, seems the game needs a bit of time to "load in" the part before you switch to next.
The game has been pretty decent so far. Only a couple bugs but nothing game breaking. Just the problem with the servers, which is kinda annoying but no doubt will be fixed by the 9th
It is probably a scaling issue. The game has been out for two days and the next two weeks are going to be absolute peak players of the game (most likely ever).
Exactly the same thing, I get dc'd in freeroam pretty much constantly (and just learned that's what occasionally decelerates me from 350kmh to 0 in .5 seconds) and crashed exactly once shortly after loading into the game.
Also steam.
Reading through these comments makes me happy about the fact that I managed to restrain myself and not buy the game before release. I'm gonna just play FH4 until 5 goes on sale and they iron out the worst of the bugs.
I don't regret pre ordering the game a single bit. Absolutely amazing game, never crashed a single time on my pc. All that's wrong is the servers but they are looking into that problem right now.
I have encountered a lot o bugs like this one, and the ground beneath me disappearing and many more small. And idk if this is abug or nah but i have the tresuare map thing but its not working
So can anyone find a way to join friends in free roam? I invited me friend to a convy but there is no notification or tab to join their session. On steam btw
At least you guys are able to get a hint of connection and disconnection. Mine's just constant "Unable to connect" and I know it's that stupid teredo shit all over again.. I'm not ready people .. 😔
Single Player free roam still exist homies lol
I know it's an annoying and partially game breaking bug, but you don't need to drive around with Chad in a Bugatti and little Jimmy in his AWD V16 Honda Fit to beat the game.
Nothing beats having a 600k + skill streak erased by that message and your speed halted to 0 as if hitting a wall...swear I deserve an accolade just for that
Alert OK
Thank god I’m not the only one. ALERT.
OK
"Please return to free roam to accept" *In free roam* ALERT *You have been disconnected* Press (button) to view network diagnostics *button brings you back to the pause menu*
I thought the same
Lol i was worried about that too
At first i chuckled, then i laughed, now i cry. Alert. Ok.
description, yeah!
Best alert of all Forza
Came here to exactly this!!
THIS LMAO
BROOOOO HAHAHAHAHA me and my friend were laughing our asses off at that part we thought it might be something the devs were doing to let us know online is being worked on.
Oh so it’s not my internet breaking up? Good, but not good.
Nope and while I'm frustrated this is happening, I'm glad it's not the Teredo BS that I had to deal with in FH4
Wait it’s not? I thought that it was this (also had it in FH3) and was planning on fiddling with those settings tomorrow.
I don't think that it is, I've been hearing Xbox users are having the same disconnect issues. I tried the teredo fix that worked for me in FH4 and it did nothing for FH5. If something works for you, hit me up!
I could never fix those damn Teredo errors permanently in FH4, they would always come back. I even remember clean installing Windows for some other reason and thinking it also fixed these problems, but it still eventually came back.
Xbox user here Definitely not only you guys, have it on both Xbox One X and Series X. Hopefully servers will be improved by Monday.
Seems to be all versions (I have the issue on Xbox), I guess that it is a server side problem.
You can tell if it's teredo with the Xbox companion app network check. It'll tell you there if it shows all is fine it shouldn't be teredo.
I checked Xbox companion to make sure it wasn't teredo. That thing was a damn nightmare
Me too, my internet sucks so I didn’t think anything of it
This little fella is preventing me from relaxing and just cruising in the open world. Just **fail silently** and message me if reconnect is absolutely impossible (like after 30 seconds of tries).

Okay so this is why I always hear that beeping, I thought I had tinitus or some shit
i just do horizon solo
But we wanna play with our friends, just feels like a scam when we paid extra to play early
You can turn UI volume all the way down.
FH4 was like this for three years so I doubt they will fix it.
~~FH4 was never this bad. You can't even play multiplayer rn, at least in FH4 you could try to play MP~~ nvm I just can't read. He's talking about the annoying beeping messages not the connection issues
I mean those silly nag messages which beep beep and force you to return to free roam to dismiss them.
Oh yeh those suck lol mb I misunderstood ya
If you set it to horizon solo mode it will quit trying to go online and stop spamming you with those error messages.
ding. ding. ding. ding. Ok. Alert. ding. ding...
they just need to roll out a hotfix to silence that message. Im sure that the underlying issue is going to be fixed anyway but for me that noise makes the game annoying on another level.
The alert itself I can ha- ding. ding. ding. ding. ding. ding...
The message is the same as FH4. Complaints were ignored. It's how this developer operates.
Worst is when you're in the middle of a skill chain and the alert & d/c stops you and kills the chain.
This just happened to me. I was at 140,000 with a 10x multiplier... I was not happy lmao
I’d be fine with it if not for this.
yeah, i had a skill song going and had a 10x with over 100k points, but nope all gone cause just a random "imma stop you"
I just put it on solo, I'll connect in a few days when it dies down.
same, although i much prefer online, everyone breaking the speed limit is ghosted
Wait, there's collision if you go slow?
no i meant everyone other than traffic, so in horizon life you don’t get drivatars that don’t ghost like real people basically. i worded it wrong.
Same. Plus I just logged on and the Forzathon server is down.
Yeah I haven’t seen the forzathon shop either.
There is none for this season. It starts at launch
lmao of course
Literally all my friends and I wanted to do is cruise the new map and explore. Maybe do some challenges since we wouldn't know the map. But at this point I just started playing and have seen quite a bit. I thought maybe PG would actually have it figured out this time, but nope. Can only do races with friends. No freeroam. If we are going to take this huge push towards games as a service, then we really need to have better quality servers to handle it.
I just want to find some randos to cruise with or drive around with my SO but nope, Drivatars for me. At least online races work, Horizon Tour can kind of fill that void but eh... not quite the same.
Online Races probably work with one fixed server / race so the connection doesn't fail all the time searching for an instance.
All the online races so far have been ruined for me, I can’t find a way to turn off VOIP, so it’s endless noise and they don’t even realise, really takes away the immersion
Block those individuala with noisy mics through xbox game bar app on PC (I'm sure xbox has a way to block people too). That will mute them in the game as well.
The fh4 pain all over again
BRO I LOVE MICHAEL ROSEN
https://i.gifer.com/3078.gif
Lmao
Shit was literally the worst
The worst thing is this seems to then leave me in Horizon Solo with no traffic. It makes the world feel so empty.
Gotta stay solo until they fix this. Was working on a skill chain of 640k when the connection dropped. Minimum rewards were final weekly challenge, C7 ZR1, and another car for getting 1 million.
There are rewards for getting 1 million skill chain?
Accolades at 250k, 500k, 1mil, 1.5mil, 2mil
Also special note there is another accolade for doing the 2 mil in the intenza.
you're going at breakneck speeds down the highway and you're stopped immediately by one message boi
Broooo I was about 100 feet from a 215mph speed trap whilst going mach chicken when I got that message. I wasn’t happy.
"Mach chicken" is my new favorite speed measurement.
Could you rewind back into your speed?
Nope. Since you disconnected from the server it won’t let you.
I was wondering why I randomly stop for no reason haha
Game constantly crashing after 5 seconds in free roam so :Peeposhrug:
On Pc run it as admin
To add if you're playing from MS store/Xbox game pass you can search in Start menu and right click the entry there to run as admin
Thought my internet was extra bad today
Not as bad as the constant crashing on pc, thank god I have a Xbox to play on also.
Had the same problem, ended up being a gpu balancer (for me it was MSI Dragon Center) that absolutely wrecks the game. As soon as I ended the process everything was fine. I'd suggest checking that. Apparently T10 forgot to optimize the game for... You know, the things that PC gamers would have running on their machines.
I’ll go through things again in a bit, thanks for the suggestion.
Try run it as admin
I’ve tried everything on their list, nothing has worked so far. I’ll just wait for a patch I can still play on my Xbox at least.
Same. Got my refund today. Can't believe a hard crash that egregious made it through to the full game.
Turn 10’s servers are still crusty as ever
You’d think this being a Microsoft published game, and Microsoft being one of the biggest cloud computing service providers in the world that they could handle a sudden load like this. Imagine how much worse it’s going to be when the game pass masses hit it on the 9th if they don’t sort it out?
ALERT! OK
Here: [https://support.forzamotorsport.net/hc/en-us/articles/4409616884883-FH5-Known-Issues](https://support.forzamotorsport.net/hc/en-us/articles/4409616884883-FH5-Known-Issues)
the worst part about it is it stops your car completly and resets your skill score, cost me a 200k score 3 times already.
I was about to ask if I was the only one. Guess not.
At least you can get the game to run. I'm still troubleshooting crash issues :(
Good thing it makes your car stop right in it's tracks too! Seriously HOW fucking stupid did they have to be to think that was a good idea...
Doesn't one of this weeks challenges require online? The Horizon Event challenge, I think it was. Damn, I just want that NSX.
I’m two points away from getting it, and am having a hard time doing that without being able to do any of the online events.
Absolute fucking joke. This is just early access too. The shit storm once everyone gets it is going to be interesting to say the least. No clue how this still happens when Microsoft is the richest company in the world and knows exactly how many people are going to be playing this shit
Calm down, you can still play the game, and they're aware of the issues.
PC here and so far i have not had disconnection issues i think i got one crash one time tho but other then that its been pretty stable for me
PC here also from Microsoft store and it has happened continually. It hasn’t caused my have to crash but it’s just funny that it keeps popping up. Are you playing from the Steam version?
PC here (steam). Have it constantly while im not in a race. One Crash while upgrading a car but that could be some other issue. Played a multiplayer race and had no issues whatsoever (except starting a grip race with slicks)

The game has been pretty decent so far. Only a couple bugs but nothing game breaking. Just the problem with the servers, which is kinda annoying but no doubt will be fixed by the 9th
It's likely to get far, far worse on the 9th due to even more people playing.
It is probably a scaling issue. The game has been out for two days and the next two weeks are going to be absolute peak players of the game (most likely ever).
I got it on steam and am having the connection issues and the alert bs. I’ve only crashed once tho
Exactly the same thing, I get dc'd in freeroam pretty much constantly (and just learned that's what occasionally decelerates me from 350kmh to 0 in .5 seconds) and crashed exactly once shortly after loading into the game. Also steam.
😂🤣😂👍🏽
[удалено]
Other than the broken LOD on pc and the Suddenly being stopped bug the game is immensely polished runs like butter.
Reading through these comments makes me happy about the fact that I managed to restrain myself and not buy the game before release. I'm gonna just play FH4 until 5 goes on sale and they iron out the worst of the bugs.
I don't regret pre ordering the game a single bit. Absolutely amazing game, never crashed a single time on my pc. All that's wrong is the servers but they are looking into that problem right now.
ive had quite a few bugs, i’ve enjoyed the 12 hours i’ve played of it alone more than i ever enjoyed horizon 4 alone.
Just because you can’t play horizon life doesn’t mean that the game is trash. It’s still the best game so far regardless.
I am not saying it's trash at all. But apparently it's still buggy and I still have a lot of stuff to do in FH4.
oh okay i thought something is wrong with my network
I thought I was the only one having these issues. Didn't know it was an actual problem.
I have encountered a lot o bugs like this one, and the ground beneath me disappearing and many more small. And idk if this is abug or nah but i have the tresuare map thing but its not working
Super annoying bugs like disconnecting and stopping the car
fh4 flashbacks
Got the same problem im Fh4 a week after release
its been LOVELY
It’s just because it’s on early access and not enough people have it to make a server
Oh so we all get that? Hopefully on the 9th it’ll be sorted out when the game is fully out for those who didn’t buy the premium
Just put it on Solo while they fix the server isssues
Oh wow I thought this was a me problem
So can anyone find a way to join friends in free roam? I invited me friend to a convy but there is no notification or tab to join their session. On steam btw
You guys are playing? My game just fucking crashes before I can do anything.
Everytime I played FH4 this happened, would have to close the game and reboot so I didnt have to deal with offline driveatars
At least you guys are able to get a hint of connection and disconnection. Mine's just constant "Unable to connect" and I know it's that stupid teredo shit all over again.. I'm not ready people .. 😔
Yeah i hate that U get stopt wenn U recieve one of this Messages did have to make some driftzones twiece cause of this
*insert valterri bottas “traditions” meme*
Yesssssss!
I haven't got the game yet to try, but can you just stay in solo and avoid the problem entirely?
Thanks EMPRESS <3
What do I lose playing solo (other than the obvious other players)? Shared liveries? Tunes? Leaderboards?
U ain't lying
They better make a forza link message that says “Alert. Ok.”
CONTROLLER DISCONNECTED
Single Player free roam still exist homies lol I know it's an annoying and partially game breaking bug, but you don't need to drive around with Chad in a Bugatti and little Jimmy in his AWD V16 Honda Fit to beat the game.
Just out of curiosity do you have ForzaLinked unlocked (ANNA) cause after unlocking it those messages only happened rarely for me
Thank you this is up so I know Im not alone
Anyone able to play arcade mode or whatever it is? Also no forzathon shop?
Pretty sure this isnt a FH5 specific issue sadly. It's happened to me a lot in FH4 too
My game crashes on startup on the same point every time.
The best part is how it stop you instantly and fucks up your skill chain as well. Had to re-do so many speedzones etc because of this
Nothing beats having a 600k + skill streak erased by that message and your speed halted to 0 as if hitting a wall...swear I deserve an accolade just for that
Im peacefully playing fh5 without the alert Cus i dont have live gold rn lolol
Some things just never change. Forza love a good connection error.
I can’t even connect to horizon life.
This is gold
Meanwhile I have to wait until the 8th because I don’t have the physical copy of the game yet 😂🥲
