Hello @CaySean1106

Thanks. I could not try it for now but I will soon...

Do you have maybe another solution for the offline problem? My wifi is currently extremely unstable and I really do want to play the game...

Hi Max,

The Forza Horizon 3 Campaign mode is playable offline. However, the following in-game mode requires an online connection:

• Online Co-Op
• Online Free Roam
• Online Multiplayer
• Auction House
• Rivals
• Forzathon
• Clubs

In addition, features like ability to purchase in-game items and syncing game achievements are not accessible while your device is offline.

To play the game offline, you'll need to enable Offline mode on Windows 10. See
Play games offline on Windows 10 using Offline mode for the steps.

Keep us posted with the progress. We'd be glad to further assist you.

Thanks for the update.

Hello @CaySean1106

Regarding the account problem I need to say that I also tried that once and it did not work for me... I tried again and for some reason it now works I have access to all designs and the auctions! Thanks a lot! But because I did not play on this ID for
so long I don't have all the unique Forzathon cars like the Sesto Elemento... Do you know any way to get the cars on my other gamertag or game? Or is it even possible?

However I tried the step you told me regarding the offline-problem but my system and my apps are both the newest version available...

Best regards

Max

Hello again,

I have another question about Add Ons in Forza Horizon 3:

I have a microsoft account logged in my store. The problem was that I am not set as 18 in this account so serveral features like designs were closed for me. I tried everything to set my age to 18 or older but even with a family created with a over 18 account
I could not change the important settings... So I was forced to make myself a gaming ID for my x-box app with an age of over 18 and I play with this one now.

My question so is now whether I can play for example the new hot wheels Add On with the gaming ID even when I bought it on my store ID...

Hope you can help me

Regards

Max

Hello @CaySean1106

thank you for your reponse. I already knew that and I also followed the steps on the troubleshooting page of microsoft. But my game won't even start when I am in flight mode or have no internet (my internet is sometimes really bad :/...)

Best regards,

Max
