''Sign-In Needed'' Error

[Cern0ch]

I am getting a error when I click on Continue in main menu. It says ''Sign-In Needed'' ''You may not proceed without being signed in to a profile''. I am signed-in in Microsoft Store, Steam and Xbox app and have a same account everywhere. It started happening since Update 9, and I can't play the game since Winter season in Series 8. I have tried googling it but nothing works. Signing Out and In multiple times, wsreset thing, Restarting PC. Nothing worked. I tried submitting a ticket on Forza Support but they just redirected me here. Please help.

1) you go into the game you meet the error "Sign-In Needed"
2) without closing the game, turn off the Internet
3) expand the game, press ok
4) click start game
5) in the main menu you see "Sign-out", exit the account and the game
6) you start the game and the login window will appear.

Thank you so much I tried for hours, dont mean to bring up an old thread not that I care but its obvious this is still relevant. Relaunching the game will edit to see if it works with internet.

I tried this and, it worked. I turned on the internet again though and it gave the same login message again. In conclusion, the game works without internet but breaks with it.

Can confirm the fix works. I'll list the steps I took for clarity (the original post is slightly word salad):

1) open forza, allow to boot normally.
2) once at forza main menu, press windows key to access desktop
3) disconnect any internet connections
4) return to forza main menu; menu should now show the ability to sign-out
5) sign out
6) reconnect internet; this will prompt forza to restart
7) sign in as normal once forza is stable
8) profit

For every solution I find, there are obviously some lucky people who have been helped.
Unfortunately, nothing has helped me.

I am not given the option to log out. I can only quit the game

Better method is to delete XBL Devicekey in Windows credentials. Will force a sign in after.

No, it will not force a sign in.
Probably the game also has no connection to the server, although everything seems to be fine with my connection to the Internet.

This was the thing that helped me. But this error was happening too often and I decided to just uninstall the game. It was one of a few things that helped me decide to do what I did. Its just not acceptable for a 100€ game.

Ay dios mio
I had to uninstall my kaspersky security with a tool. i also uninstalled all network adapters (even the ones that are not actually displayed).

after a restart i was able to log in to all accounts again (winstore, xbox) and the game itself directly showed a prompt to log in to the corresponding accounts again.
Now I am ablte to play the game again

So it is NOT enough to deactivate the firewall to recognize possible conflicts
