Forza 5 will not start up

I cannot play Forza 5. I start forza 5 up and the initial start up screen begins. I get to through the first few start up screens and it won't load after the "microsoft studios" screen. The screen just goes black and nothing happens. I uninstalled
and reinstalled the game but the problem persists. The game has not loaded for several days now. I do not know what to do.

Forza 5 will not start

Hi Penny!

First off, try a power cycle.

1. While the console is on, press and hold the console’s Xbox button for 5 seconds.
   
2. The console will power down.
3. Wait 30 seconds, and then turn your console back on by again pressing the Xbox button.
   

If you have no luck with that then I suggest you try deleting the game and re-installing it.

• Go into My Games & Apps
• Find Forza Motorsport 5
• Press the Menu button and select Manage Game
  
• Highlight Forza Motorsport 5 and press the Menu button
  
• Select Uninstall
  

Don't worry as this wont delete you save file. Go into My Games & Apps, and find the game at the far right under
Ready to Install. Let the game install again to 100% before starting it up (This may be a while as it's a digital copy). Once that is done, start the game and you should see a "Syncing data" message, this is your save file.

Hopefully that should get it working again.

 

Forza 5 will not start

I have a downloaded version of Forza 5, came with machine. Download 3 additional packs yesterday and was working. Now this morning it will not load up

 

I've experienced this myself a few times and for me changing from Instant on mode to powersaving mode and turning the Xbox One off, and after a few seconds I turn the Xbox on again and Forza 5 starts just fine..

needless to say remeber to turn the istant on mode back on again if you want to use it..

 

It may have need an update, I have seen my HDD say it is 100% full when it wasn't, it stops games from updating. Reboot the console and try again, that worked for me.
