IPSEC: 0x00000000
Does anyone have a solution to the IPSEC: 0x00000000 issue, I have been unable to connect to online since I purchased the game on March 23rd and stuck to playing solo. A couple details about my case:
  • NAT Type is open and server connectivity is connected
  • I travel between two separate houses with different ISP and router brands but same issue
  • I have tried reinstalling the game twice
  • contacting every support I can find short of driving to Playground Games headquarters with my laptop.
Furthermore, I have submitted Forza support tickets only for them to direct me to Xbox support who direct me to steam support and then back to Forza, which I believe Forza support is the only one that could help, but they leave me with copy-paste messages saying it's not their problem.
If anyone knows how to fix this or has experienced the same issue but has tried something different I would greatly appreciate assistance because at this point I've waisted $100 on a game I would have definitely gotten a refund on if I knew this would've become a seemingly unsolvable problem.

A rather strange solution in this situation helped me. I have reduced the graphics settings in the game to the recommended by the Geforce Experience.

So whoever is reading this topic I have finally solved the issue for my end and it came by contacting xbox support and telling them it was happening in multiple games. A little background that may be helpful for anyone doing research.
  • My NAT type was open and server connected in xbox networking (had to hit fix and check again sometimes)
  • In device manager/add legacy hardware there was no microsoft teredo device but I did add one labeled "TAP Adapter V9 for Private Tunnel"
  • IP Helper and Xbox Live Networking Service in services are automatic and running
  • Window Defender Firewall is on
So here is what finally did it for me:
  • First I had to go into my router and disable UPnP and enable DMZ
  • Then Window + R and search msconfig
  • Deselect the Load startup items
  • Go to service tab and check "Hide all Microsoft Services"
  • Select the disable all option and hit ok
  • Restart PC
I do not know if this will work for you but it works for me and I will edit this if I run into any more problems. If it does not work I would recommend contacting xbox support but do not say it only happens in Forza Horizon 4 because then they will send you to Forza to support a ticket and get nothing solved. Plus xbox support has 24/7 chat which is easiest. Hope this helps anyone going through the awful problem I was.

Been dealing with this issue for months, basically ever since I got the game and I've tried everything I've come across and nothing worked until I gave this a shot. I cannot thank you enough mate!
