Forza horizon 4 wont launch Windows 10

Federalthyme886 · Jun 13, 2019

The game shows a splash screen for 2 seconds and then just shuts down i've tried reinstalling doing a clean boot disabled windows defender and development tools and countless guides to try getting it to work i've even sent support tickets to Forza support
but they won't even answer so i really need help haven't even been able to start the game since i bought it wich was 2 days ago my pc also meets all the requirements for the game so that should not be a problem either

Edit: I got this error message

Forza horizon 4 wont launch for me on series x

Well I can not give you real solid advise on this issue as i currently do not have access to the game itself, and the version on the Microsoft website is for xbox version for Windows 10.

The first thing is DCOM is a network related issue and can mean anything from Network software compatibly issue to Internet service provider carrying out maintence or the game server connection itself is the issue.

overall recheck your hardware and software are correctly installed have been updated especially third party software like Java and Adobe flash player as they can cause games not to launch to reset your windows firewall and restart your computer and try installing
the game again.

Also try different graphic setting occasionally game launch under different graphic setting to the recommended setting on the game site.

Check your Graphic update site to see if they actually include the game in there support information for graphic card as they sometime discontinue support for games if there is compatibly issue and they can not solve the issue with a future update.

Also if you download the game try installing the game after you move it to new folder location i.e c:\download to say D:\game store as example as the folder you down load into may not support all the installation from that folder cause it is protected and
or locked for some reason i found this out with NVidia Graphic installation not all the graphic files were correctly installed i also found out too the protection feature of Windows defender does not allow fully installation of software critical to the software
function until you change or turn it off.

Overall its probably best to see if it loads on another computer if available to rule our bad download to damage disc.

Thx for Replying but as I said in my post i have already checked the guides and done a clean boot and yes my pc Meets the game requirements so anything of what u sent me is really helpful i pasted the error message from event viewer for a reason so that
maybe you could check what's causing the game not to launch i've had the game for a week now and i haven't been able to play it once and the forza support people aint even responding i feel scammed and tricked now that i have wasted money on a game that doesn't
even work i hope you can help me figure out what my problem is so i can play this fantastic Game
