Hello, i cant connect to play online in Forza Motosport 8.

Michael Kadoglou · Oct 23, 2023

I download the game via the Xbox game pass in my PC and when the game open, it tells me that i am <not connected and can only play offline.> <Reason: Failed to download contend.>

I tried to press several times <retry connection> but still the same problem. When i press <free play offline>, it tells me that <connection has been restored and to go to main menu>.

So when i do this, it shows me again the first image <not connected and can only play offline.> <Reason: Failed to download contend.>. An endless loop.

I had the game bought fisrt in Steam and had the same problem. I refund it and get it via Xbox game pass. I reinstalled it two times, verified the files, restart and reboot my router, i have the game in a SSD, NAT and TEREDO says open and conncted.

I have never encountered a problem with forza horizon 5, iracing, Diavlo IV, ACC, Dota etc.

Windows 10 home. Ryzen 5600. 4070 gpu. 32gb ram. SSD.

I am sorry that you continue to have problems with the title mentioned above, below I will leave you some possible solutions, I apologize for not having got it right the previous time;

Check the status of the Forza server: You can check the status of the Forza server on its support page. If the servers are down, you may not be able to play online.

Update the game and your operating system: Make sure that both your operating system and the game are updated to the latest version.

Disable the firewall or add an exception for Forza: Sometimes the firewall can block the game connection. Try temporarily disabling the firewall or adding an exception for Forza.

If still at this point, you cannot connect to the Forza Motorsport servers. In advance I want you to keep in mind that this is a community forum and we are gamers like you, so we do not have access to Microsoft systems at all. less to the personal data of each player. That said, I ask for a little understanding in this case, since due to the high demand that the game has had, the servers are saturated, but both the Microsoft team and the creators of the title are already working on this.

I understand, as I told you, wait for a next version that can solve the Bugs that this one causes so you can enjoy the content you want to play.

Unfortunately the problem still exists. I restart PC, reboot router.
