Forza Horizon 3 Not Installing Error Code: 0x80073D12

Hi Corrupted,

So I’ve been looking up Forza issues, then I looked up the error code.

Error 0x80073D12 | ERROR_INSTALL_OPTIONAL_PACKAGE_REQUIRES_MAIN_PACKAGE - HRESULT.info

Optional Package Requires Main Package

Is there a chance you need another game first? Is this an update or an add on? That’s kind of what it seems like.

Let me know. I don’t have much experience with game troubleshooting, but I’ll do everything in my power to get you up and running.
