Issues unresolved
Error 0x80073d0d when installing
- This issue only affects the Platinum Plus Expansions edition of the game. There is no solution from Microsoft as the game is considered End of Support and the edition was never easily available.
- To best alleviate this problem, do not install the entire bundle. Installing the base game and the Blizzard Mountain/Hot Wheels DLCs is enough, as all other DLCs will already be recognized in-game as owned and do not require download.
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

- 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] |
