Forums

• FH3 Updates thread and Known Issues threads
  
• FH3 FAQ (in progress) for links to existing threads
  
• Xbox Live Status website.
  
• www.twitter.com/Forzamotorsport for updates and announcements.
  
• Forzamotorsport.net/News for announcements and updates in the Week in Review.

• Reboot your equipment (including network hardware connected to your console/PC) - this clears many problems with no need to report them on the forums.
  
• Update your Windows Version and GPU drivers and look for Xbox Settings > System > Updates available. Also try rolling back your driver to the previous version.

• Bumping threads you have already posted in or posting in multiple threads about the same issue is not necessary and not helpful; the developers are aware of the issues reported in the Support forums even if they don't acknowledge each one individually or post about them until a fix has been made.
  
• When reporting bugs, be succinct and detailed (including your thread title): state your platform (console or PC), screenshots if available, DXDIAG report or machine specs, OS version, gpu driver version, quality settings, text and code in error messages, whether the error happened once or if it happens repeatedly in the same spot, whether it happens on one platform version or both, and what steps you have already tried including rebooting.
  
• Use existing Car and Features Wishlists to request changes that aren't bugs.

• Loyalty Reward cars are not awarded until you select the second Festival Site and return to the Byron Bay site.
  
• Barn Finds may not trigger until you progress - even with high level, try other event types and head-to-head races.
  
• Clubs, Social, and other menu items are locked until you progress further in the game - keep playing. Auction House may be locked due to Xbox settings: Account > Privacy > Xbox Live Privacy > Custom > Game Content > select Everybody. Blizzard Mountain is unlocked after you open the third Festival Site in your game.
  
• Not all cars are available in the Autoshow - see the Confirmed Car List thread and Forzathon thread.
  
• Not all Horizon Edition cars are available in Wheelspins or Auction House - sets are changed from time to time. See discussion thread.
  
• Bonus boards that appear missing from the map are below ground or above you - see tips.
  
• The Auction House isn't losing your money: ""By design, Auction House transactions are subject to an auction closing fee that is based on the amount of the transaction."^

• Races on Goliath of more than 5 or 6 laps will crash the game (or set you back positions) if you use Rewind - set Rewind Off if doing marathon Goliath sessions.
  
• Forzathon and Achievements may not pop immediately, but be sure you know (or find out from the community) the exact requirements, reboot, and make sure your HUD Notifications setting is On, and on PC that your Connected User Experiences and Telemetry setting is Enabled.
  
• Not all wheels are compatible and some wheels/shifters are only partially compatible. There has been no specific date announced for an upcoming patch/content update to fix issues and address wheel compatibility.
  
• You will have trouble finding the game on the Windows Store if your Windows version isn't the most recent version with the Anniversary Update.
  
• NVIDIA and AMD driver updates can be the source of some issues, fixed by rolling back to a previous driver version.
  
• Forza Rewards points and Tiers may not update immediately or even for days. Forza Hub numbers are your lifetime earnings; the currently maximum credit gift is 500,000 (not millions).
  
• Trouble connecting online may be due to your router settings.
  
• Crashing to desktop (PC) may be due to conflicting software (anti-virus etc) - see workaround tips.

In windows go to settings->system->apps , there search for the FH3 app on your C: drive then click on it and you can move it to another drive.

Today Microsoft released an update for Windows 10 that addresses a problem that would cause the full game to be downloaded again during our next planned update to Forza Horizon 3. All Windows 10 players are strongly encouraged to download the update immediately to avoid being impacted.

In addition this Windows 10 update also adds in support for Fanatec wheels in both Forza Motorsport 6: Apex and Forza Horizon 3.

If you aren’t sure what version of Windows 10 you have, follow these 3 simple steps: 

Hit the Windows Key + R
Type Winver in the run command text box and hit OK
Look at the dialog screen revealing the OS build and registration info
The version you should see is Version 1607, OS Build 14393.222.

If your Windows 10 Version and OS Build numbers do not match the above, follow these steps to download the latest version: 

Open your Settings app
Select Windows Update
Click “Check for Updates”
Install the available Windows Update
Restart your PC

Thanks,
Brian
