    Error code 0x8007042b when starting game


    Hi!

    I'm lately having trouble starting Forza Horizon 5 on my PC with windows 11, the game is bought and installed with the xbox app. Accoourding to the game support the error code is a problem with windows or xbox/xbox live. The game have worked fine or me since release but when I tried starting the game on friday (13th may) the game now gives me the following error code: 0x8007042b and wont start. I have not made any changes to my computer since the last time I played. I have read numerous about the error code on the web and tried every suggested solution including reparing my Windows 11 installation and resetting/restarting all xbox apps and services. I've also reinstalled FH5 three times. What I have found is that I seem to miss the services for "Xbox live networking" and "Xbox Live Game Save" in my services list and I can therefore not start them. But otherwise I'm clueless?!?

    Any suggestions?

    regards, Johan

    :)

    Hi!

    Thanks for tying to help! I dont use wifi, i have a wired ethernet gigabit network. No other network issues or problems with other applications on the computer.

    When checking Network in the Xbox companion it says NAT-type: Open

    The other values on the companion Network: (Translated from swedish so I might use the wrong english names?!)

    Internet: Connected

    Xbox live services: Running

    Xbox multiplayer:

    NAT-Type: Open

    Usually progress is saved to the cloud as soon as you're connected to Internet.

    Don't press reset on Forza Horizon app, just repair

    Does the restore option remove my game progress?

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today Julyan.

    Please try this:

    Open Settings, click Update and Security and then Windows Update;

    Click Check for Updates;

    Click the Download and Install Now option, if available;

    Also, check the Microsoft Store for any updates on the Xbox apps and its services.

    If everything is up to date now, do this:

    Go to windows settings > apps > search for gaming services app > click on it and select advanced options.

    After that, click repair and then restore, open the app and try again.

    Then do the same for the Xbox app:

    Go to windows settings > apps > search for Xbox app > click on it and select advanced options.

    After that, click repair and then restore

    Finally do the same for Forza:

    Go to windows settings > apps > search for Forza app > click on it and select advanced options.

    After that, click repair

    If that doesn't work

    We can try too open RegEdit as an administrator and delete the following Services:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServices]

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServicesNet]

    Then Restart your PC

    If it still doesn't work you're going to uninstall the games services using a powershell command:

    In the windows search bar type Powershell > Right click and select open as administrator > Type the command: "get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-Appxpackage –allusers" (without the "")

    Wait for the process to finish and then restart the PC, then open your Xbox gamepass app, it will ask you to install the gaming services again, install it and try again.

    Error code 0x8007042b when starting game

    Update: I have not recieved any answer from the game developers. Yesterday i Made a clean boot (formatted the HD:s and reinsalled Win 11 and FH5 the first thing but the problem still exists so it has to be a game issue. I'll have to wait for forza support to help me. Possible it is related to my FH5 game profile/progress in the game but I don´t want to reset all progress just to try since I have spent numerous hours reaching the level I´m at now.
