Windows 10: Forza Horizon 4 doesn't boot at all

Dear all,


Yesterday I bought Forza Horizon 4, but right now i can't get it to boot. It has booted twice, but those times i was adjusting settings in game, I was trying to make my steeringwheel work properly - I did nothing weird -.


I have been troubleshooting for over 6 hours and the only thing i haven't done is reinstalling my windows. But still the only thing that i see is the MClaren loading screen for about 1 second.


I'm really sad that this game just doesn't boot and I would really appriciate your help.


I use this PC for a lot of different games without problems, but none of those are microsoft games.


PC-specs:

CPU AMD 2600

GPU VEGA 56

RAM 3000 MHZ 16GB


Screen: 1440P 144 hz


Note i have AVG installed but to my knowlodge it does not interfere with forza.


Thank you for you help in advance!

:)

 

Forza Horizon 4 - Crashing on Startup, doesn´t run

Hi, I bought the game on 3.10.2018. Everything ran well, but one week ago, after a windows update (I´m running Windows 10) and after weekend I wanted to play Forza Horizon 4 and
the game doesn´t starts. I have only the first loading screen (With McLaren Senna picture) and after a second the loading screen disappears.

I have tried to reinstall the game, and I don´t use any overclocking programs (no MSI Afterburner, RivaTuner...)

Thanks for any help.

Forza Horizon 4 - Crashing on Startup, doesn´t run

Hi Vit

Have you tried lowering your screen resolution to see if the game launches?

How much free space do you have on the drive?

Could you confirm if this also happens in the default Administrator account?

Open Start

Type: cmd

Right click CMD

Click Run as administrator

At the command prompt, type:

net user administrator/active:yes

Hit Enter

Close command prompt, restart, then try signing into the Administrator account.

Do you have the latest cumulative updates for Windows 10 1809 installed?

Open Start > Settings > Apps > Apps & features

Scroll down to Forza Horizon 4

Select it

Click Advanced options

Click Reset

Restart

Check the Store for updates

If that does not work...

download the following utility and use it to remove Forza Horizon 4:

I am going to admit, you are not the first to report of issues with installing Forza Horizon series of games on Windows 10. There doesn't seem to be a documented solution of what works and doesn't work. I have recommended to users to downgrade to an older release
such as Windows 10 1703 and they report it works.
