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.

    You're in the exact same boat as me famzo, did the exact same thing as you, and got the exact same issue. I already tried a clean install of windows, and it didn't help sadly. :(

    Apparently people have suffered the issue on FH3 as well and FM7  but it was an install error some bright spark named 

    EASYWAYZ on youtube addressed those issues for those games though

    Sounds like the issue is repeatable, with all of us reporting the same cause. Hopefully they can pinpoint the issue sooner rather than later.

    If it's any consolation, I got Forza Motorsport 7 Ultimate Edition from the Microsoft Store and it works perfectly. I was curious about it since I've been eyeing the game for a while, and I wanted to see if it would have the same problem as FH4.
