Forza Horizon 3 wont boot

JenniferTurner1965 · Jul 15, 2017

Hello just need a little help. I was playing my Forza Horizon 3 xbox/windows 10 game fine for three weeks. Now though when I click play and it goes to that first screen of the two cars and grey background it stays there. I have tried a few things from forums
I have read. example. checked anivirus software. But it was working for the first three weeks with defender windows 10 on... tried a few other things. but still the same. I don't want to reset the game as I might loose all the progress I made so far. but not
sure how to get it to boot again. it works fine still on my lap top. just not on my good PC where I prefer it to play.. SO really don't understand why it iwont go passed that first screen. any help would be great

Thanks.

:)

Hello Everyone,

First lets look at Dolenz64's issue. If you purchased the standard edition, you will not be able to play until 9/27. However, anyone that purchased the ultimate edition will have early access on 9/23. For those of you that have installed the ultimate edition
and can't access it because there may be an issue with Microsoft' licencing and they are working on it. Look at the article below.
