General approaches for fixing
For first you should try the usual things every support telling you out:

1. Are you meet minimum settings? check here
2. I you don´t use Admin Windows Account start Game as Admin:
open filebrowser, go to your steamaccount folder, exactly to here: \SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\ForzaHorizon5. Now right click the "ForzaHorizon5.exe" and choose: run as administrator.
3. Update your Graphics driver.
4. Disable NVIDIA in Game Overlay (May cause problem but usually not)
open GeForce Experience, click the gear button in the top of window and disable "InGame Overlay" in the left hand of window.
5. Validate your gamefiles
in Steam Libary rightclick on Forza Game and select propertys. In the propertys menu, select "Local Files" from the left hand panel and at this page select "Verify integrity of game files". Steam will do the rest.
It didn´t worked? This is what helped me
especially when problems appeared after update this works, the thing is it´s not a problem of game itself it seems.
I suggest the issues for forza come alive cause the game update may broken some windows files when installing.

So to get lost of most crashes try this out:

In Windows Task Bar click in the search field and type:
command prompt
The command prompt app will appear on the left, RIGHT CLICK it and choose "run as administrator" and choose "yes" if it ask for admin rights.

Now the App starts Up, what you see is this path:
C:\Windows\System32> followed by a blinking cursor.

Just type or copy paste the following text:
sfc /scannow
and press the return button.
Windows starts a system scan, wait for it to finish...

If it found some damaged files and repairs it, it´s a good sign.

After it´s done restart you pc for first.

Now test your Forza Game and be Happy ;-)

one more thing... the controller...
Problems came back later, not everytime but sometimes.
So again i searched what may cause this and my aim goes to controller.

Disabling it made things fine again so here it is if ya wanna try it:

In Steam Libary right click Forza, then choose "propertys"
Now open the register for controller in the left and disable steam controller configuration for this game.

And that´s already all, it´s done in no time.
Thanks for reading
That´s all, I hope this helped you out of that frustrating crash situation.
I´m glad if I was able to give you a hand and will be very proud and
happy if you rate this Guide, this is how you can help other FH5 drivers to find and solve their problem
So, let´s meet back in Forza´s Mexican streets, have a nice day.

Greetings by FH5´s Darktr3p!

I‘m sorry about it bro.
I can’t understand why the devs make it so hard for ppl play their game. And support even isn’t able to they say talk devs but don’t say how. I hope you find out how you get it done for your machine.
May you should try official support, even when they didn’t helped me @all it don’t says they can’t help everyone. If you have crash dump they can see something maybe.
It’s always worth a try, of course

Felipe that’s not nice but I have to say I have no idea for this.
My aim is for running game that crashes without reason, I searched for solution so long when Support quit assistance to me. That’s why I spend hour for hour to find anything and I was lucky that I got it.
I only have two ideas for you:
1.: You really meet minimum game specs?
2.: May open task manager and search for any software running. Toolbars, like first comment here even WhatsApp, CheatEngine and so much more software force FH5 Anti Cheat to activate. It won’t ban you but it force the game for quit.
Probably you can find anything.

I wish you Good luck

Hey! I tried many tutorials but my game still crashes.
It just opens black for couple of seconds and then instantly crashes.
I instaled Microsoft Visual C++, I did the sfc /scannow, I got the latest drivers and even end the antivirus second plane on the taskbar.
