Do you like racing simulators? Ever thought of endless racing on detailed and varied tracks in different events? If yes, you are going to love Forza Motorsport. While other racing simulators are hardcore and intended for a very specific type of racer, the Forza series offers a unique experience for every play. Yes, they still follow the same racing physics that hardcore simulators do, but these games offer options that make it easier for even beginners to race and reach professional levels. Well, Forza Motorsport is the most recent addition to the Motorsport lineup of the Forza franchise. However, with the game’s release, there are a few game-breaking bugs that have been making the rounds faster than the cars. One such issue is the infinite loading screen issue that has been specifically reported to occur when players buy or upgrade a car in the game.
Due to this bug, you apparently get stuck on a loading screen that keeps looping until the game crashes. This has been reported by many players on both PC and Xbox consoles and seems to occur only when a player upgrades or buys a new car, with the only solution when stuck on the loading screen being to reboot the game. Well, in this guide, we are going to go over how to solve this issue (if it is possible) with some effective workarounds.
Forza Motorsport Infinite Loading Screen Issue while buying/upgrading car: Is there any fix yet?
While many players have been reporting this issue to the development team, there has been no word from the developers in this regard just yet. So, we have to assume they aren’t aware of this issue for now, so an official fix is going to take some time. Since the game is just out of early access now, such issues will most likely be fixed soon. Well, there does not appear to be any timeout feature to save players from the infinite loading screen in Forza Motorsport. It truly is infinite, and the only true fix for now is restarting the game. However, try these potential workarounds at least once:
1). Check for game updates
Keep looking out for an official patch from the developers of Forza Motorsport. If they release one, make sure to download and install it. This might be able to solve the issue you have been having with the infinite loading screen.
2). Keep Graphics Drivers up to date
The second important step to take is to make sure your graphics drivers are up to date. Although this workaround might seem unrelated, you should still give it a try. If you have an update available for your graphics card, make sure to apply it immediately. This can also help with FPS in the game.
3). Verify game files
If you are playing the game on PC via Steam or the Xbox App, you can verify your in-game files to get rid of any corrupted files that can cause this issue. The steps to verify game files for both platforms are as follows:
Steam
- Go to the Steam library, and right-click on Forza Motorsport.
- Here, click on Properties and then Installed Files.
- From here, verify the integrity of game files.
Xbox App
- Go to the My Library and select the game.
- Now, click on the […] button present next to the Play button.
- Here, look for the Manage option and then click on Files.
- Finally, click on verify and repair.
This will manually verify each and every game file and reinstall files that have been corrupted. This might solve the issue since the read file for the moment you upgrade or buy a car could be corrupted.
4). Run in Windowed Mode
Try running the game in windowed mode (PC), as doing so can fix the issue. Whether or not this workaround fixes the issue is unknown, but you can still give it a try. So, just before buying a car or upgrading it, head to the in-game settings and set the Display Mode to Windowed. After this, proceed with the purchase to check if the issue persists.
5). Reinstall
Irrespective of the platform you are playing the game on, consider uninstalling it once and then checking if the issue persists. However, when you reinstall the game, select a different drive. Also, if you are on an Xbox console, consider resetting it and then installing the game.
If none of these workarounds seem to solve this issue for you, reaching out to the developers is the only option left. They can help you with additional workarounds for the issue. While the developers work on fixing this bug, you recommend refraining from purchasing any car or upgrading it for now.
