It ran great until I bought the Ultimate Add-Ons bundle, now it simply crashes after showing the splash screen for 30 seconds.

From the event viewer:

The program ForzaHorizon4.exe version 0.0.0.0 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Security and Maintenance control panel.

Edit 12/13/2019: After installing the latest update last night, the game seemed to start fine. I will continue to update this post with status.

Edit 12/14/2019: The game no longer starts.

Edit 12/28/2019: See user realcoda's post on page 5 for a solution. Be sure to back up everything on your PC before attempting as it involves editing your registry.

Edit 2/19/2020: The game runs after today's patch.

Edit 2/21/2020: Today's patch has reintroduced the original issue.

    well at least they are getting to the problem. I suppose the trouble is so many of us have varied system set ups. I think they will get it eventually,just have to wait a bit more.

    They actually do know what the issue is as I found out speaking to wolf on discord, it had never worked for me until the first hotfix and then it worked same as it did for many of us, then they gave out the second hotfix which broke it again

    you are not far off, its more like a credential check time out issue,

    that the game cant verify in checks, sometimes times out
