I have to restart my PC to play....
Need some advice, if anyone has anything.... When I try to load up the game, I get to the second splash screen and the game crashes. If I restart my computer and load up the game, it works fine. But the next time I want to play, I have to restart my computer or else its an endless cycle of crashing. There is no crash report, the game just stops. All of my drivers and Windows 10 is up to date. Below are my specs. Any suggestions before I uninstall this 160GB of a headache?

AsRock Z390 Taichi MoBo
32GB DDR4 2666
i7 8700K
GTX 1660 Super
2TB WD Blue NVME SSD

***EDIT*** Yes, I have verified file integrity multiple times.
This is also a newer build of a PC. The PC I had before this, was way under specs to run the game and I never had this issue.

Check if you have background software that can cause conflict, usual suspects: asus GPUtweak, Corsair ICUE, MSI afterburner.....

This should not be the issue. I built this PC myself, theres no bloatware installed. I just upgraded my GPU to an RTX 3060 last night. Havent had the chance to test out Forza yet though.

I've saw multiple posts like this and every person has been running a GTX card, maybe let us know if it still happens on your 3060

Around 2.5 hours ago I tried loading up the game for the first time since installing the 3060. I restarted the PC after installing the GPU yesterday and that was it. Tried loading up the game a bit ago and it crashed on the splash screen as per usual. Then I remembered seeing a notification earlier that there was a GPU driver update, so I installed that and restarted the computer. After the restart, I was able to get into the game just fine, as usual, and had no issues playing. I even went AFK for around 15 mins to get some beer. Came back and the game was still running.

Ill do what I normally do, play other games for a day or so and try and load up the game again. Ill update with results :dwarfbeer:

Nope, no good. Still crashed and had to restart my computer in order for it to work. I guess Im uninstalling Forza for now. Find something more stable to put the 160GB of space to use.

Did you ever find a fix for this?

I never did. I had uninstalled it a couple months ago and reinstalled it last month. Still have issues. Makes no sense. I guess Im just done with FH5.
