I have an issue with Forza Horizon 3 where if I try to launch the game, it instantly crashes. There is no popup for failure of any sort and it just looks as if nothing happened, just as if I closed the game right away. My computer is faster than needed to run the game and is updated to the newest version of Windows 10. I have seen many ways to fix the issue but none work. If anyone knows how to fix this, that could help not just me but allot of other people.

    I have no DLC areas like Hotwheels or Blizzard Mountain installed, its mainly a game stability and optimization issue. Some people say its Nvidia drivers causing the issue, others say you have to delete coding from the game.
