Forza Horizon 4 keeps crashing on start.

Anonymous

Hi, yesterday I got the xbox gamepass for PC. The main reason for this was to get access to Forza Horizon 4, but when I finally downloaded it and tried to launch it, it didn't work. I've looked around on the forums and I haven't found any fixes yet. I tried uninstalling MSI afterburner, resetting my save data (didn't work cuz I had never played it before). I have a good enough pc: GTX 1050 Ti, Ryzen 5 2600X, 8gb ram, 500GB ssd, etc. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game countless times.

Nothing worked.

I tried using Event Viewer, these are the logs:

Faulting application name: ForzaHorizon4.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x5d8e8039

Faulting module name: ForzaHorizon4.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x5d8e8039

Faulting package full name: Microsoft.SunriseBaseGame_1.351.461.2_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe

Faulting package-relative application ID: SunriseReleaseFinal

I tried disabling development mode in Windows Powershell. I tried going on an administrator account to try it on there, still didn't launch. I tried

Installing the game on my laptop that I use for college. Same error codes, none of the fixes worked on there either.

Could anyone please help me with this? I'm tired of going through the same Forum posts.

Care to elaborate? Did you have to manually find a specific Update package (which one was it?), or did you just run Windows Update recently and it automatically fixed it?

Hi guys after a long time of searching, now i fixed it by disabling Nahimic service

Win + R > msconfig > services > Nahimic service

then restart your computer !

You're my man of da week -> you solved a problem a lot of players have including myself. I think everyone where this fix helps must write this solution at least into another thread wherever we find this to kill this problem out of ForzaH4 !!!

Again.....you helped me personal a lot and made me happy -> THX A LOT for sharing this with us !!!!!

Cheers from Vienna

I am ecstatic. I tried this fix, thinking it was just another one that wouldn't work like usual. I did what he said and it said the program was still running so I had to restart. It then worked, and I have been playing the game for 10 minutes now, a million percent more time than i have ever gotten since this problem. It seems the program is listed as a windows service so I assume that its on all windoes devices, although I could be wrong. Thanks so much for the temporary/permanent fix

From what ive seen and heard from some really deep researching, its mostly an issue with the game hanging when it checks that you own the license to your copy and its something to do with buying a certain DLC if i remember, but its been months since I last tried to play the game and its been almost 9 months since ive been able to play
