Forza Horizon 4

Keeps disconnecting for me

Nothing has improved for me

The disconnects are horrendous. I got three in a row before giving up.

It booted me in the middle of the final race, but for some reason the achievement popped right at the beginning of that race. I guess I was lucky, hopefully it also counted as 1 out of the 10.

I got 3 Disconnects in a Row. This is Ridiculous

What a load of bullshit this game is. I finish all 5 races and of course the game disconnects me conveniently as the final standings board is about to pop up. What a waste of time that was. Obviously a +1 to you, however.

5 races, finished 3rd out of 12 - "Alert, you have been disconnected, please try again later" - BS.

Bom dia, eu também fui desconectado no final, espero que a Turn 10 resolva esse problema em breve.

It worked alright before update, at least few full advs I played. Now disconnects right after finishing final race.

Edit: And again. I am done until this is fixed.

I have never experienced as many disconnects as I have in this game, especially right as final round ends.

Edit: It just worked for me this morning 03/13, so maybe the servers are calming down a bit? Not sure why it worked this time, I didn't actually get my rewards before I got it, it just showed the point totals.

Yeah got two disconnects as well. So annoying.

Didn't pop for me, even though it says 1/10 completed. Guess I'll have to try again....

I haven't had any disconnects and it didn't unlock in my 2 adventures :(

Just got disconnected after my fifth race. I'll give this a few weeks before attempting again.

Tried at least 5 adventures, disconnected at the end each time ...

Finished three Free-For-All events & disconnected after the fifth & final race every time! Unbelievably frustrating!!

Disconnected after the last race. What is this bullshit.

Thumbs up for the solution but I got disconnected at the end of round 5 every time just like everyone else.

disconnected on round 5, i hate this

Idem

I thought that was just me with the disconnect. I’ll wait for things to get better.

To those saying you’re at 1/10, you’ve played the wrong game
Mode. YOu need to be in unranked, not ranked.

Not that it matters, as you’ll get disconnected anyway.

Yeah, two disconnections in a row, right after finished the 5th race. Same as all of u guys.

Same too... disconnection after 5th race, I give up after 3th event. Wait next update.

I got disconnected again although Xbox Live is fine according to the status page.

It puzzles me that a lot of people unlocked this and we here are are getting disconnects.

Still disconnecting for me

Disconnected 3 times in a row at the end of the 5th race... I don't even get disconnected from EA's Anthem. How is anybody getting this done? I suppose I should be patient and just wait. I remember hating the ranked achievement during the original 1000 too

I keep being disconnected after the final race in an adventure. Its happened 3 times in a row for me. Is there a way to avoid this issue?

disconnected after 5 rounds 2 events in a row now...

The disconnecting is a real struggling

When I finally get one started without disconnecting before it even begins, I get disconnected after the 5th race and no achievement. This is bs.

Edit: Got it on the next full 5.

I got it after joining a session at the 2nd of the 5 races after getting disconnected three times when playing all 5 races from the start.

Disconnected as well before the end results

This game is a complete mess right now. Disconnects all the time 😡😡

Done all the races and then got disconnected before the results screen. What a joke!

Lol, you guys have to chill and stop getting angry about trivial things like this.

Done all the races and then got disconnected before the results screen. What a joke!

Done! Not disconnected this time! omg cant believe it xD

Haha, just read all the comments. I’m going to join and say yep just happened to me too!! Are the servers likely to improve? Weren’t they poor when the game released too, I’m sssuming they have been poor throughout.

Matchmaking in this otherwise superb game is shocking. Exactly the same happened to me, did all 5 races and then got disconnected. So frustrating.

FFS, will somebody fix the disconnect problem? 3x now, and really hate to devote any more time to this until the issue is fixed.

Won all 5 races, disconnected at the end how nice.

i tried it 6 times, after the 5th race disconnect, i give up on this, totally waste of time

Of couse at the 5th race while I finished I got disconnected. It doesnt suprise me.

Disconneced after 5 races. I will wait for a fix instead of wasting more time on this crap.

Disconnecting for me every time at the moment. It finds a new horizon life session every time after as well. Nothing else for me to do while I wait for the forzathon events.

I just raised a ticket on the issue over at:

https://support.forzamotorsport.net/hc/en-us/articles/360001...

I suggest other people do so if they havent already, just to raise awareness of the issue.

3 disconnected from 3 attempts! Stellar job Turn 20!

Disconnecting is getting freaking ridiciulous. 3 unranked, 3 disconnects AFTER completing the final race! So irritating.

At least ill not alone in the field of disconnects. This is freaking annoying. The free for alls are kinda fun, but not if you can't finish them

Left a ticket https://support.forzamotorsport.net/hc/en-us/requests/28586. Also sent a message to a community rep who was incredibly helpful in healing me when I was trying to sort Antique Restorer .

I haven't had a chance to test it myself but there are a few people on the forza forums saying that switching to Horizon Solo before you search for an adventure game is getting around the disconnect problems.

I had a disconnect today, tried it again and was able to unlock the achievement. The second time I was in solo, so there might be something to what ixnay37 posted.

FINALLY got it to unlock. 4th attempt. Turned off any other device linked to my wifi, I was that fed up.

Completed 1 out of 6 attempts. Unfortunately, this mode has to be completed a few times before the other achievement can be attempted. I don't have the patience with those odds so I'll wait for an update.. Starting from solo didn't seem to help either.

GOT IT! Did they fix this?

Yeah these servers are the worst. So far 3 completed and still no achievement because I keep getting disconnected after I finish the final race

A conquista está bugada, terminei as 5 corridas 3 vezes no modo aventura online, jogo rápido corrida livre para todos consegui atingir o nível 3 para participar da corrida livre para todos ranqueada e nada da conquista, uma dica e tentar após a meia noite, durante o dia sempre tenho desconexão, na madrugada joguei sem problemas

Edit: reinstalei o game e a conquista apareceu

Same here, keep getting disconnected every time...

get disconnected everytime i hope they are aware of this an working on a fix because right now this is ridiculous.

Got it. At last. Was in a game with 12 people, don’t know if that makes a difference. The other disconnects I didn’t have a lot of people in the session.

I've tried it by going solo first. Joined a game in progress (5/5) and got disconnected and another one from the start and also got disconnected. Seems the solution isn't by playing in solo first.

Broken game.

The DNS settings worked! Hallelujah. Thank you.

Thank god they fixed it. Was driving me insane.

If you want to join a good racing group, you can always apply to:
Digibeten NL
and as a race Team:

You can also sent a message to me GT: stuffmixer
I will add you, lets make this a big group, so we can provide our self with ingame extra's and race as a team.

LETS GO!

8/30/21, Got booted out of the 4th race.

I finally got it on my 4th try. Can't say I'm surprised that PG is trying to pass the buck and make it somebody else's problem.

I got this last night. Not really exactly why it counted this time and not previous. I did make sure I never got a DNF in any race especially the free roam rush events in the adventure. Might be worth you trying that.

Just managed to get this one to pop. I did what was suggested above - going to Horizon Solo. When I fired up the game I was on Fortune Island so the game took me to Great Britain.

I joined a free-for-all that was in progress (the first event was just finishing up). I finished the other 4 events without a DNF and it popped at the end.

I finally managed to get it too.

- I was in solo before queueing.
- I started at the fifth event (so 5/5).
- There were 12 players total.
- I didn't finish the race (DNF).

Just did this achievement. Joined a match as normal whilst connected to Horizon Life. Went through all the events, the results screen and the rewards screen. Achievement unlocked normally.

Twice in a row got disconnected at the very end

Disconnected at the very end. AGAIN. UGH.

Forza Motorsport forums report folks having success when not winning. That is, don't finish on the podium (usually the final one) and you won't disconnect.

If that was true I would have gotten it much earlier.

Same here lol

Disconnected three times on end screen now

It’s time they fix this. It’s ridiculous! I spent so much time just to get disconnected over and over again after the fifth race. It let me get some progress a few times last few days, but the game is broken and they should fix it. It has nothing to do with our wi fi connection

Further to the previous, popped this last night

- was in horizon life before joining lobby
- lobby started with 6, then increased to 12
- finished 2nd overall
- used Jaguar F-Pace in a A800 Street race adventure
- On windows 10
- Achievement popped before rewards screen

The disconnect is still happening. Even when starting from horizon solo. Looks like I lost my Horizon 4 completion. Meh.

Changing DNS from default to 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1 fix the problem for me

It would have to knock me down to go 10-15 times for 5x races to get 20GS into me. For the day it is impossible to drive, with a bit of luck it can succeed. This has to be repaired !! because it makes no sense to be tired.

Funnily enough, because other people mentioned it too, I also DNF the last race (on purpose, my game was lagging due to chaos on screen and didn't want to disconnect again).

RDWinters1944 could be onto something. I tried 10+ times before, finishing in top places, low places, and DNFing and nothing was working. Changed my DNS to Cloudfare (1.1.1.1 & 1.0.0.1) and it seemed to work. Maybe a fluke, but it's work a shot. Started from Horizon Solo btw.

Let me know if changing DNS works for anyone else and I'll update the solution.

Idenic I’ll try this in about half an hour. If it works could it be Google’s first clandestine shot against Microsoft in the great Stadia vs. xCloud wars?

Wow. Fuck me, that didn’t help.

8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4 is just Google 1.1.1.1 / 1.0.0.1 is just Cloudflare 208.67.222.222 / 208.67.220.220 is just OpenDNS (Cisco)

Really weird that changing your DNS has any affect, DNS is Domain Name Servers. It is only used when trying to connect (lookup) other server/pc's..

IE; 104.25.38.7 / 104.25.39.7 resolves to Trueachievements.com

Omfg it worked! I initially changed my DNS to 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 but I did that while my game was already running. Initially that didn’t help - still got disconnected.

But I did a hard restart and then finally the achievement popped!

Praise the god above, and praise the god kings Idenic and RDWinters1944!

Glad something worked

Ok, not that my comment is going to help anyone but I finally got this damn achievement. I started in Horizon Solo. Played through all 5 races. I think I got DNF in 2 of them and I placed like 8th or 9th, and at the end I popped the achievement. I probably did 18 sets of all 5 races to finally get it. I honestly think its just luck whether or not the servers will like you as you complete the race.

I got disconnected when I finished the whole adventure. didn't get any credits or anything even though I probably finished 2nd or 3rd. 30 minutes spent for nothing.

Edit:
I have just finished an other one (started in race 3/5) and it disconnected again just when finishing the final race and loading the results.

I think it's probably the final time I played this one online. I tried to get ranked mode working in the base game (a couple of months ago) and that didn't work either as I couldn't even find races. It would be nice of them to test their game/patch before releasing it. It would also be nice of them to not release achievements before the patch is out.

This is pathetic. They are a first party studio now, how can this happen?
It reminds me why I despise playing online games/modes and why I almost never do so (the online gameplay sucked as well because of idiots ramming people purposefully out of checkpoints).

Same for me, for disconnected right after Finishing the fifth race. What a disgrace the same Problems exist months after release.

So I've submitted a ticket on Forza support page, they said there's something wrong with XBL services. See link here https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-live-status

Got disconnected at the end of my match, too. You would think that if you screw something up badly the first time, you wouldn't double down on it the next time (and add more achievements to make it even worse).

There are just so many things wrong with the adventure mode. It's just not worth playing once you have the achievements. It's not just the lag and the crappy servers that don't keep you connected. It's also poorly conceived and poorly designed. I especially love it when you miss a checkpoint (so you're already screwed) and it spawns you right where you missed so you can't possibly hit it the next time. Or when you can't pick a car fast enough and it puts you in a car that doesn't work for the tracks it chooses (like a car with bald tires when you're on mostly dirt tracks). Or when it respawns someone right in your path and screws you because you can't avoid them. I could go on and on. Terrible. And then they rub it in our faces by making us complete 100+ races in the mode (between the base game and this update). Playground should stick with what they're good at, which isn't this.

(sorry for the rant)

I did it guys! No disconnection! How amazing!

i tried it 6 times, after the 5th race disconnect, i give up on this, totally waste of time
Got it after a mate was playing for the 7th try lol

Finally got it.. after 10-15 times.. i try'd everything..

After the third/fourth time switching from horizon live to horizon solo i found a 8player session.. instead of 12.. and got instantly disconnected(2times).. instead of after the final round.. after the third time searching for a quickmatch i found a 12 player session again.. (round 2/5).. after completing round 5 i finally unlocked it..

I really think the "key" is horizon solo.. and waiting till you get disconnected instantly.. instead of after the 5th round.. i think that triggers also something.. but idk..

Playground said on the forums that the problem was with Xbox services. The "services" are back up now, and the disconnects still happen They even said to unstill and reinstall the game (which isn't working for people in the formus either). They are trying so hard to cover up the fact that this update is broken and can't be bothered to fix it

Wow I didn't realize Idenic is the actual writer of this original solution too. Upvoted!

Glad that I could help I'm also shocked how this could worked but anyway, it's good to have a workaround before those lazy bastards make a hotfix

Yeah, I just got 2 in a row during the rewards scenes . Just gonna wait a few days for servers to be better.

They are rolling out new servers today to address issues with quickplay online adventure connectivity.

Forza Horizon 4 Fix Will Solve Quickplay Online Adventure Connection Issues

I have got some messages from people since posting this asking how I got this one and the ranked one because of disconnects after the fifth race. I guess I got lucky that it all went so smoothly.

After 3 or 4 disconnects, always starting from within Horizon Life, tried this. Worked first time. Thanks!

Great guide. Using these steps I even got this cheevo while joining the 5th race of an already ongoing event. Literally took 2 minutes tops.
