I literally cannot connect to online

[Hoddrs]

As soon as I load in "You have been disconnected from the session.", I press retry and it's the same thing over and over again, I've reinstalled the game 3 times, reinstalled Steam, changed my DNS settings and even downgraded back to Windows 10. What the ♥♥♥♥ is this game's problem? I can join convoys but if I leave them it just disconnects me immediately.
60 DOLLAR GAME. 60.

My specs are great (RTX 3060 Ti, Ryzen 5 2600, 16gb) , my connection is great (600/100), Windows is licensed and updated, Windows Defender settings have already been checked, I'm suspecting they blocked my ISP but in that case, why? A customer shouldn't have to use a VPN to play a game that's available pretty much in every country on Steam, I think that's fair, isn't it? On top of that the support team never responded to my ticket in more than 30 hours now. All in all terrible experience so far, which is a shame since I like playing the game.

I don't know, man. Don't bully me. Maybe you have good download/upload speed, but not stable connection or bad ping. Maybe you have so slow HDD. Maybe for some reasons they really blocked your ISP. They blocked the game in my country but I can play it, so.

How am I saying things from teh shadows? You r3ealize that rendering your profile private is an option offered by Steam right? Is that suc big of a deal that you can't see my list of friends or list of games or whatever else you want to share with the world?

This argument that my profile is private therefore "inbsert anything here" is totally stupid and that's all there is to it.

I did not search the so called "40 pages on the subject" nor I intend to, theres litterally 1000s of threads in this fdorums.

Oh and I do not feel you did teach me anything nor youi have anything to teach me in the first place but you did not answer my question tho: what doid YOU do to fix YOUR problem?

Feel free to answer whenever or" take the loss" or whatever else argument you'll try to make after this, don't care at that point. You lost this argument when you styarted attacked my profile because it is private.

I told you to be honest and own your mistake.. you talked first without knowing it's an issue that's been plaguing this game forever.

So you chose Ego over honesty, admitting you were wrong is not gonna kill you, you lost an argument not a leg, You don't seem to comprehend the reference of talking with anonymity online, I think no matter how I explain it to you, you still won't get it, so moving on.

You were educated on your mistake, you not wanting to admit it doesn't invalidate that fact. This seems like a character flaw of yours, but myb it's something that you do to cope or something.

The notion that you didn't even bother to check if you were mistaken says a lot doesn't it?... so you just talk out of your butt without any research: "let's tell people they are wrong because I said so"...lol

This is the only game that this happens, no other game in my 175 games library. Same for the 100's of posts on this forum on this issue. Stop pretending there is no problem with the game.

You said that I should do something to fix the problem?... you want to me to harass a developer then?... because there's nothing left other than raise the issue here, unless you have a better idea other then telling people they are wrong just because.

Remember Cyberpunk?.. many said their game was alright for them, but that didn't invalidate the issues that were blatantly obvious doesn't it?. You are one of those people, according to your own words. "If it's not happening to me, you must be doing something wrong". that's a narrow minded and narcissistic comment.

I told you, we can keep doing this forever, or you can accept that you had no clue what you were saying. You are wrong here Pal, nothing you say will change that.

Again; I still don't hate you, but you gotta learn to be honest with yourself. We both know you wish you didn't said anything.

C'mon bud, eventually we gonna find the root of your dishonesty.. let's do it together, myb something good comes from all of this.

Welcome, to Forza Horizon 5 online experience.

I'll trade the rampant disconnects over them fixing the Fanatec incompatibility and crashes any day.

We made a big mistake buying this game don't we?...

We feel sorry for you and your experience.

By the way we all did everything you can think of, still disconnects.. It's the servers. This has been extensively covered here by players.

Servers are fine:

Pro-tip: Use the search function.. and type: "connection/disconnected".. 43 pages and counting.

Because mostly people use forums when they have problems and need help. It will explode if everyone who plays now or wrote a positive review runs to the forum to write that they are playing and enjoying the game without any problems. No one doing this, man.

The fact is that the reasons of most problems are basically the same: low PC specs, not updated drivers, not updated or not licensed Windows, viruses or antivirus, bad connection / ISP / Wi-Fi, or popular problem with easy solution in the Internet or on official support page.

In my experience I was never disconnected. My game was crashing when I was trying to paint a car (was fixed in the last patch) and lagging when I playing more than 2 hours (solution: restart the game). That's it. Sorry for my English.

Hey inc... yeah everything seems nominal when you look at it, the games does an initial connection to the game servers but eventually drops it, sometimes it holds for hours and most of the time it drops on and off in a span of minutes.. other times it never connects at all.. so it's a myriad of connection issues from consoles to PC to Microsoft store, so it's all over the place, it has to be the game.

Of course, why some are able have a perfect connection since launch is unknown, but there are examples of this in other games too, but that's what the devs are for, to figuring it out, right?..

My Specs:

5800X
6800XT
980 PRO M.2 500GB (OS)
980 PRO M.2 2TB (storage/games)
32GB CORSAIR VENGEANCE PRO
850W GOLD ASUS ROG STRIX PS
ASROCK X570 STEEL LEGEND WiFi AX

Game connected by RJ-45 Ethernet Cable CAT 6-E (Yesh I replaced the cable and checked with a cable tester also, same issue in WiFi, which uses a different protocol mind you).

Internet: Fiber cable direct line to ISP 650gb Download - 125gb Upload.

My ISP doesn't block anything on that subscription tier (the most expensive), I called them to make sure, and they send me a tech to my home, more on this below).

I can't speak for others in the extent of troubleshooting, software conflict or human error, but for me and my friends we tried everything.

My ISP came home and tested a new gaming Router and gave me access to Admin controls and all ports were open, and firewall disabled.

We even disabled AV and windows native AV, reinstall OS.. you name it.

You know the figure of speech for Occamsz razor?..... yeah.. it's def the game/servers.

I am not saying you're wrong when it comes to your connection not faulting, just saying 2 things can also be true at the same time you know.

I stand by what I said like I always do, whatever mistake you think I made lives in your head.

Don't hate you either or anyoine for that matter, sucks that you can't connect: what will you do to fix it is still the same qustion that you still dodge.

After bringing my private profile to try and make a point you now bring Cyberpunk? If issues were so widespread game would not have well over 80% positive reviews from both recent and all time players.

I personally don't care if you end up owning that this is your issue and that you have to do something about it, you do you, you can keep posting that I made a mistake or whatever else about me, won't fix your problem.

And if telling things how I see them is dishonest then sure, I'm dishonest. You may have a very different definition of honesty than mine.

I'm not trying to say that the game doesn't have problems. There are problems in every game. As I said, people who have no problems, they are not sitting on the forums and not making threads about it. The game have mostly positive reviews and thousands people playing right now. Negative reviews are not only from people who have some technical problems, they are also from people who don't like the game for some personal reasons.

If you use the search function in FH4 forum and type "connection/disconnected" you will see more than 60 pages.

Cyberpunk 2077 was broken af, but today you can run it, play and enjoy. The game have mostly positive reviews and negative ones too not only because of technical problems, but also because of stupid AI, poor open world, still no DLCs, lies and scandals in CDPR, etc.

DOOM Eternal is a great game with great optimization, so let's check the threads on the front page:
"Is the Nvidia driver bug ever going to be fixed?"
"my screen goes strait to gray when i launch the game"
"Anyone else suddenly having odd issues with the game?"
"Horrible performance with i7-4790K and GTX1060 3GB"
"There's still a problem with the sound in this game?"
"Slayers Club log in issue"
"Game is locked at 30 FPS no matter what"
"game crashes"
"BIG PROBLEM!!!!"
...

There are always people with problems, no matter how good the game is.

I hope you will find the solution or they just fix it soon!

Yep, everything is turned on.

Update on my support ticket: They told me to contact Xbox which basically tells me ♥♥♥♥ all after 2 days of waiting for a reply. I'll contact Xbox today and see what they have to say.

[DoubleO7]

maybe try https://www.resetera.com/ and open a post about ISP/fobia maybe they will listen then when they get canceled.

[shirtwearer]

make sure your route/firewall has the correct ports forwarded

Also make sure your antivirus/malware isn't blocking internet access to the forza executable

Welcome to YOUR experience with the game, I never was unable to connect. Sure if you don't want to work on YOUR end for the problem you made a mistake buying this game and maybe having a comnputer alltogether.

Maybe try to flush DNS, change your DNS altogether and if nothing goes contact support and / oir your ISP.

It's not about you telling things how you see them, it's about making an argument from ignorance and then being arrogant about it.

Let me remind you what did wrong:

"Welcome to YOUR experience with the game, I never was unable to connect. Sure if you don't want to work on YOUR end for the problem"

You stated that it's my problem only. When there's hundreds of post here on this, that was the only thing you had to do to avoid all of this.

Do I have to link here every single post from this issue so you can say it's their problem too?... since you didn't bother to check and all. Tempting.. daunting task ngl.

You don't know how the servers are setup, nor any other conflict somewhere in the net code or some unknown software conflict (which is the devs part to figure out) so speaking absolutes like you did is not wise, and I warned you about this but you didn't listen.

You should learn from INC.. he/she doesn't speak in absolutes and acknowledges everything without a superiority stand or bashing one side of the issue.

This not on us, this is about your reckless disregard for others legitimate complaints. I've seen how you belittle people here, you're fighting people here everywhere, I can link those here too you know but I will choose not to do that... for now.

I admire your persistence. it's good banter either way.
Let's see how far that arrogance goes, but I advice you to let go.
