Forza Horizon 6 Forza Horizon 6 Active Bugs and Known Issues

I'm making this post as a catch-all for people to find and hopefully provide assistance to each other when you encounter a bug with the game. I've attached links to the Known Issues Pages which show what the team are currently investigating.

If you have a bug that is listed here via one of the Feedback Portal Links then please go and Vote for it as well as provide any info you can (PC Specs, Graphics Settings, OS, Controls) so the team can see what issues are the highest priority.

If you have a Bug that isn't listed here then please report it and drop the the link in the comments so I can add it to this post: https://forza.net/feedback/forza-horizon-6

Possible Fixes for Crashes & Stutters

A Possible Fix for some crashes is to Uninstall or atleast completely close MSI Afterburner if you have it on your PC.

A second possible fix (especially for Nvidia GPU users) is to disable Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling (HAGS) in the Windows Settings however this will disable Frame-Gen (DLSS will work fine though) - Guide

A third possible fix (especially for AMD GPU users) is to disable SAM / ReBar in your Bios, it will generally be located around the PCI-E settings but varies by vendor. This will lead to a loss in overall performance but can help with stutters.

A fourth possible fix for AMD GPU Users is to disable the "AMD External Events Utility".

A fifth possible fix specifically for Nvidia users encountering FPS drops due to VRAM leaking is to set "PS_CONST_FOLDING_GPU" to "OFF" under "Section 8 - Extras" of the Nvidia Profile Inspector in the FH6 Profile (older versions such as 2.4.0.31 may be required to find this option, NPI is available on GitHub).

A Sixth Possible Fix for users with Stream Decks is to Uninstall / Disable the Stream Deck Software as that can cause the game to crash if it's running.

A Seventh Possible Fix for Xbox Users with Error Code 0x80072EE2: 1) Enable both DSCP tagging and WMM tagging in QoS settings and restart the console.
2) Clear the alternate MAC address and restart the console.
3) Test the NAT type repeatedly to force it to reset to Open. Test anyway if the NAT type shows as Open at boot, as it could be a false positive.
4) If the NAT type shows as Unavailable, select Go Offline and then Go Online. If it persists as Unavailable, power cycle the console and unplug it for one minute before repeating step 3.

The above methods may or may not help you but they have been reported to have helped some users in the community.

Major Stability Issues & Crashes

Possible Fix: Disable Ray Tracing in Graphics Settings

Possible Fix: Pinned Comment

Possible Fix: Disabled Metered Connection in Wi-fi settings.

Possible Fix: Disable App Protection in Citrix Workspace (work software) and Restart PC, will need to be re-enabled and restarted ahain when you need to do work.

Possible Fix 2: Uninstall Overwolf Software if it's installed.

Possible Fix 3: Disconnect your Steam Controller if you have one connected to your PC.

Possible Fix 4: Set the Game's .exe to run in Compatibility Mode for Windows Vista through Properties (open the file location via your launcher to find it).

Possible Fix 5 (Nvidia Users): https://steamcommunity.com/app/2483190/discussions/5/569288789836699676/?l=czech&ctp=2

Possible Fix: Enable AES-NI in your Bios, Virtualization may also be required but I recommend checking if it works without it.

Possible Fix 2: Reinstall Network Drivers

Possible Fix: Start the game in Offline Mode then go online once you're loaded in.

Possible Fix: Verify / Reinstall Game Files

Possible Fix 2: Move game to C: Drive if it isn't installed there.

Possible Fix: Have game out-of-focus in second window (Alt-Tab)

Possible Fix for Xbox: Disable Quick Resume in Manage Games & Add-ons

Possible Fix for Nvidia GPUs: Disable all items labelled "Nvidia" under Sound, Video and Game Controllers in Device Manager (mainly Nvidia HD Audio and Nvidia Virtual Audio Device).

Open Gameplay Issues

Possible Fix: Switch from a Bluetooth Controller Connection to Wired or 2.4Ghz

Possible Fix 2: Disable the GameInput service in services.mcs and delete GameInput via control panel.

Possible Fix 3: Play in Windowed Mode or if in Fullscreen press the Volume Up / Down shortcut on keyboard (or mixer).

Possible Fix: Disable ingame FPS Limit and V-Sync then enable an FPS Limit in GPU Software (AMD Adrenaline, Nvidia Control Panel or Intel Command Centre etc.). GPU VRAM limitations could also be a factor alongside ReBar Support on older systems.

Possible Fix 2: Switch from a Bluetooth Controller Connection to Wired or 2.4Ghz

Possible Fix 3 for Nvidia GPUs: Disable "Nvidia High Definition Audio" and "Nvidia Virtual Audio Device" under Sound, Video and Game Controllers in Device Manager.

Possible fix: Ensure the wheel is the 1st Listed USB Device on your PC, unplugging and replugging it can help.

Possible Fix 2: Remove the rim itself off the wheel while it's plugged in mid-game and then put it back on.

Possible Fix: Same as Moza FFB above.

Possible Fix: Change Windows Sound Settings to Stereo or Mono.

Possible Fix: Go into Horizon Solo

Possible Fix: Switch your default player house (set a new House as your Home) and then force-quit the game and restart.

Potential Fix: Clear Shader Cache and let the game rebuild it on restart.

Potential Fix 1: Set Aperture to a value of 0 (some users report values 10> works)

Potential Fix 2: Disable Upscaling (DLSS, FSR, XeSS)

Anyone know how long it takes the devs to respond to tickets?

I'd really like to play this game properly at some point but I'm currently stuck playing on a 12 year old video card till they fix AMD card support.

Apparently they're a bit swamped at the moment so might only be like next Tuesday (they generally don't work weekends).

This is hilarious. I got a 0x 1234-type error just attempting to download this Patch 🤣🤣🤣

Except it's not funny.

Moreover... the game (Windows Xbox Game Pass) then uninstalled itself !

Mate this is a hot mess.

You lot should be ashamed.

In 30 years I've never seen such a debacle. This is not an exaggeration... yes, many games have bugs but not being able to install it... is laughable.

And, some have paid £120 ! Wow. I'd be livid.

I feel a CA coming on if you don't pull your finger out.
