How to unlock the New Wallpaper achievement in Forza Motorsport 5 - Definitive Guide

Edit: So it seems this glitch still works! But as several comments have noted you have to have at least 1 download already to have this work! I recommend just taking a picture and using a second account to download it if you haven't had any actual downloads.

So this may have just been a glitch on my part, but I'll put it up too see if other people have it work to their advantage as well.

While I also took pictures and shared them, I also noticed that every time I launched the game I earned an additional download on the achievement tracker. What I did was snap the achievement app and highlighted this achievement. Go to the main menu, then hit cn_B to go back to the 'start screen.' Then hit cn_A or cn_start or whatever it is to load up the main menu. This awarded me one additional download every time. I did this for my last ~70 downloads. Now it may have been someone downloading my photos every 4 seconds but it's very unlikely. You don't have to dashboard or quit the game ever, just keep backing out and going back into the main menu.

Let me know if this works or was just a glitch I experienced! The last time I tested it was also the time I earned this achievement, so if it's a lot later than the 'date won' for this guide it might be why it's not working for you. I'll delete this guide if I get enough people saying it doesn't work.

Still works as of 04/09/2017

It seems that each time you back out to the start screen and then load up the menu, it increases the counter by the number of downloads you already have

I took 7 photos and downloaded them all with my second account. Each time I backed out and came back to the menu, the counter increased by 7. So I'd recommend taking a bunch of photos to speed things up, rather than doing it 1 by 1

It's amazing how 54 people found this helpful but 1 sad clown had to leave negative feedback. I bet that clown is so sad that was his only satisfaction that day. I also bet that clown has never ever posted a guide to help other people. Thanks for the guide

11/27/2017 it still works. I had downloaded a pic with a dummy account the last time so played it... turned it on and it counted one, so I went back and forth and got my 50 and may as well knock out the 100 while I'm at it. I wish i had more thumbs, so I could give your 4 thumbs up!!!!

19th June 2021 - unlocked it today, so it still works... Noticed that every time I go into the game and out from the main screen, the counter went up by one or maybe even 2 and few times did not seem to go up.

It is possible that the game was "patched" wehen servers went offline to give you +1 every time you launch the game and servers are unreachable.

Now will see if the "Get 100 downloads" will pop the same way in near future.

VIEWING YOUR OWN PICTURES COUNTS! Just take 10 different pics, save them, then go to your gallery and click on each one and select "load" on each one. Then go back to the loading screen with the orange McLaren and press A to enter back into the game. Each time you do this you will get 10% progress. Repeat 9 more times for the achievement. No alt needed.

Make that 14 or so seconds for a full cycle, not 4. But otherwise right on the money.

I can also confirm that if, during this sequence, you have more than one account download your photo, all of those downloads will count up on each cycle.

I confirmed this by doing the "New Wallpaper" achievement the long way (50 cycles in and out of the menu). Then for some reason, the "Gone Viral" achievement stopped counting up after 50. I tried maybe 6 or 8 times, then figured I'd messed it up, so re-downloaded with the other account. It still didn't seem to work, so I logged in with my wife's account and downloaded it too. That was when the count caught up and the percentage shot up from 50% to 70%. However, now each cycle was 3 downloads instead of one, so it took only 10 more to get all 100.

I just wanted to share a little something as a supplement to the solution for the 100 photo downloads achievement. You can, of course, share your photos and have a secondary account on the same console go in and download them 100 times like the other solution states. If you're like me, however, you might not want to actively attempt this achievement until you've gotten most of the other achievements done (you've got a lot of races to do, right?).

Well, at your leisure, you can pause the game during a race and scroll through the menu and enter photo mode. Snap a photo, save and share it. You can toy around with it, mess with the effects, try to snap a cool photo, or whatever. Just be sure to share it with any names/descriptors you choose. Do this from time to time.

I say this because people actually DO download photos, believe it or not. At the time I wrote this solution I've shared maybe 3 photos since I started the game and I've got over 30 downloads. If you share a photo from time to time you might get regular downloads as people search for more recent additions.

To get a little variety and to share some photos on a regular basis maybe you just want to share a photo every time you put a new car out on the track. It is up to you how often you want to share or how creative you want to be, but if you don't want to grind out downloads by yourself this may be an option.

If you have any questions or comments, please leave them below, and a thumbs up will always warm my heart!

Cheers and happy racing! toast

Update: Just a note that while Forza may say that you have 0 shared photos downloaded by others within the game, check your progress in the achievement app. Some users have reported no progress within Forza, but the achievement app is still reporting progress.

Currently at about 70 photos downloaded since I first posted this solution. I started sharing more regularly and the number of downloads increased drastically.

Interesting... I'm still averaging about 1-2 downloads per day. Have you made no progress at all?

Last night when I checked, all of my photos said "no views & no downloads" I thought I would get some as I've took some pretty cool photos. I thought they were cool anyway. Maybe they haven't uploaded properly or something.

What does it say in the achievement app? Any progress in there? Maybe you have some progress on the achievement, but Forza 5 just isn't showing downloads on your photos for some reason.

Okay, yeah let me know. If you're still showing 0 progress I'll try looking for your photos. Maybe they just aren't getting shared for some reason.

Morning mate. You were right. It still says no views on my photos but the achievement says that I'm at 66% so I guess someone has been looking at them. Cheers

My friends and I were able to easily get this achievement by snapping 25 or so photos of our respective rides, then simply searching for each other as creators and downloading all of each others photos. Pretty simple if you've got a couple friends that play Forza.

I can add more detail. Sorry, I just threw this out there after I got the achievement using this method.

This is an alternative solution to using the dummy account, you will only need to download Forza Hub app on your console or you can access Forza Hub from your PC browser.

I have unlocked this achievement by viewing my own pictures on Forza Hub, it will count a download every time you view your pictures (at least one instance). Sometimes when you close the Forza Hub fully an reopen it will count the views/downloads again.

Basically, I made a bunch of pics (around 20) and daily went to Forza Hub and viewed my own pics to unlock this achievement.

The achievement is very easy.

Most likely, you have a second profile on your console (you're punching your friend in the face in Mortal Kombat X!), we'll need it.

We take 10 screenshots through the photo menu, go to the Forza main menu, change the profile to a friend’s profile, then:

1. Forza Gallery
2. Search
3. Enter your username
4. We look at all the photos, go to the main menu, and start from point 1.

Please note that the achievement % will not count until you return to your profile. Watch it 50 times, come back, get it.
