Forza Horizon 5 Message Board  

I deleted the file in wgs with all the numbers but Forza still keeps crashing. Any suggestions?

awesome link, still shows my forza 4 ban from using the cheat from here back then, and the timeline which is good. if its anything to go buy I was banned in forza 4 after just over a month of playing. (tbh though in forza 4 I cheated crazy, been more discreet this time, no money cheat etc)

This is greatI

While I've not cheated in any Forza game, I was curious to see what the linked page looks like. I found out I somehow have a 30-year ban on Forza Horizon 4 and it started in 2018. I questioned it and was told I had cheated on a PC - except I only played on Xbox. The funny thing is, I reported a game crash related glitch that happened during beta testing - the game, on Xbox, would crash and when you loaded back in, your player level and money amount would just keep climbing until you quit the game and if you were in a mission where you were in a car that you didn't own, you'd be stuck in the car. I got stuck in a Bugatti from the movie-stunt mission. I quit the game, deleted my saves, and just started over. I lost interest in the game with all the vehicles driving like you were on ice. It just makes me mad I've purchased every single title from them and now they won't even look into the ban. The exceptionally rude woman who replied to my dispute just flat out said I cheated, even after forwarding my bug report that explained in detail the very thing they were accusing me of, with video proof of it happening on Xbox! She threatened that if I tried to inquire about the ban again, I'd have all my Forza games banned.

The moral of the story, be very careful with money and level cheats. I think you'd be safe to bump your cash amount by small amounts, but don't add millions or you will get a permanent suspension without notice. If I got banned over, essentially, reporting money and level glitched, they'll have no problem banning obvious spikes in money or levels.

I may just load of Horizon 4 and cheat my backside off since it's now essentially a single player game for me. 😡

This wouldn't have happened around the first week of November 2018 by chance? I think they swung the ban hammer pretty hard right about then, even banning people not cheating! LOL
