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 I'm tired of waiting so I'm installing a cracked version of it, not really interested in the online part to it any way and I have bought it so I'll play the cracked version and maybe one day they will fix this issue whatever it is and I'll revert to the official version again maybe

    I found that people with Forza motorsport 7 are/were having the exact same problem. It really is disgusting the way we are being ignored it is not acceptable. Thing is I don't know who is to blame be it Microsoft or Turn10 but whoever it is then need a swift kick up the **** imho

    Hi oh I see, im not happy,but at least can play on my old pc. Which I thought it must be the add on because I didn't download the add ons to this old pc. so it must be something in the add on down load and installation. all we can do is wait I suppose,but I wont just go away which is probably what they want. Good luck!
