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.

    I worked a lot on it as well. i really like the game, but... come on.... It's not my job to make their **** to work. FH3 gives the same fun for me. Not that nice like FH4, but the map and weather is way better. So I let them "work" and play something what doesn't gives me a brainfuck.

    sometimes when you start the main game whilst the demo and store are open it takes a couple of hits on the play button. Sorry if it didnt work. we must all have slightly different set ups. i will keep on at them, maybe they will get it fixed eventually. i had the same problem couple of years ago with forza 6 apex .then when i tried it just before xmas it started normally. hope its not going to take couple of years though.
