Issues unresolved
Forza Horizon 3 error 0x80073d0d
- Game will never install affecting version Platinum Plus Expansions Bundle, no solution by Microsoft found since the game is delisted and this version is not in the edition list and multiple troubleshootings never fixed the problem at all.
Forza Horizon 3 is stuck at 30 FPS
- In some multi-monitor setups, Forza Horizon 3 is locked at 30 FPS, whether V-Sync is on or off, and whether the Frame Rate setting is "30 FPS", or "Unlocked (Variable)". If you move your mouse to the bottom of the screen, the Windows task bar will unhide, and the FPS will rise above 30 FPS (e.g. to 60 FPS), but that is not helpful to resolve this issue during gameplay. This seems to happen when you have one monitor hooked up via HDMI and another via DVI.
Reboot your system |

Issues fixed
Impulse Trigger not vibrating
Select one of the predefined control schemes instead of customizing one. |
---|
Infinite Loading Times/Graphical Issues on AMD cards
Use drivers 17.5.2 or newer[5][6] |

Game crashes to desktop on start with Multi-monitor enabled
- If the game crashes to the desktop after displaying the Turn 10 Studio video, use the fix below.

Game window closes before the game launches
- If the game's window closes after the FH3 logo, it is possible that your Anti-Virus isn't letting the game run. This issue is especially apparent if you're using Trend Micro.
Add 'WindowsApps' and 'WpSystem' to your Anti-Virus exception list[8] |

|
Game exits after some time of playing
Use the script to run the game. |
---|
- If the game after running the script does not automatically go to full screen as before, press ALT + ENTER within 70 seconds of running the script.
