Forza 5 Keeps Crashing Hot Wheels DLC

You have finally installed the Hot Wheels DLC, but Forza 5 keeps crashing during the DLC intro? The new Forza Horizon 5 expansion brings a plentiful of new content, but, unfortunately, it has also come with some issues. Currently, the biggest problem that is plaguing Forza Horizon 5: Hot Wheels is the fact that the DLC constantly crashes when players try to start the Hot Wheels expedition. If you are experiencing Forza 5 DLC crashing issue during the opening scene as well, here’s what we know about it.

Forza 5 Hot Wheels Keeps Crashing Solution

We will not beat around the bush here and we will be perfectly honest with you. At the time of writing, there is no clear solution on how to fix this annoying issue. The problem only appears on PC (Steam and the Windows Store). But, it seems that there are no rules why it appears and players currently don’t know what causes this issue. The only semi-workable solution is to switch your graphics settings to Very Low and max fps 60 on the intro, no matter how good your PC is. This should prevent the game from crashing until developers fix the bug. After the intro is completed, you can turn back your graphics to normal settings, but you should know that it still can cause problems.

Nonetheless, you can always perform the basic steps to make sure that everything is alright on your side of things. The first thing you need to check is if you have the newest drivers for your GPU. You can look for the latest drivers either via your GPU software or alternatively, you can download them from the links below:

• Nvidia Drivers Download Link
• AMD Drivers Download Link

Often time faulty installation can lead to corrupted or missing files, which can result in crashes. To prevent this, you should Verify the Integrity of Game Files on Steam. Here’s how to do that:

• Right-click on Forza Horizon 5 in your Steam library
• Select “Properties…”
• Select the “Local Files” tab
• Click on the ” Verify integrity of game files..”
• Let Steam do it’s work
• When complete, restart your PC
• Launch Steam, and start Forza Horizon 5

If none of these solutions helps, try completely uninstalling and then reinstalling the game. Sometimes a fresh installation can fix all the issues. Make sure to restart your PC as well when you uninstall the game before installing it again. If even this doesn’t help with the problem, then the issue is probably a bug or glitch within the game itself, and we will simply need to wait for developers to fix it. AS soon as there’s more information about the problem, we will update the article.
