<h1>(Attempting to) Fix Crashing with NVIDA GPUs on Forza Horizon 4</h1> <p>FH4 has had an issue with NVIDAs drivers since September/October 2022. You can be playing the game all good, and out of the blue it will freeze and/or crash.</p> <p>My GPU: RTX 3060</p> <h2>UPDATE:</h2> <p>The April 4th 2023 patch has a fix for this issue and I have found that the issues have stopped. The changelog <a href="https://support.forzamotorsport.net/hc/en-us/articles/15453542920339-FH4-Release-Notes-April-4th-2023">here</a> says Bug Fixes (PC – Steam) Improvements to a potential incompatibility between the game and certain newer NVIDIA drivers (newer than 522.25 versions).</p> <h2>The "fix":</h2> <p>Forza support is useless with this issue. They tell us they're "working on it". The fix is jank, but here it is.</p> <p>You need to download an older version of your GPU driver. Specifically version 522.25 (some people have had more success with 517.48, I'm currently testing 522.25).</p> <p>Some guides tell you to use <a href="https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/geforce/drivers/">this site</a> to get the old drivers, and whilst this may look prettier, it doesn't return all available drivers for your GPU.</p> <p>The site you <b>should use</b> is <a href="https://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx">this one</a> as this returns all the drivers. Enter your PC's information.</p> <p>Download either 522.25 or 517.48. If these aren't available for your GPU, you are out of luck until Microshaft fixes the issue. To track that, you can check <a href="https://support.forzamotorsport.net/hc/en-us/articles/360001991068-FH4-Known-Issues">this page</a>, as this issue is listed under the "PC" issues section.</p> <p>Run the .exe file and install the drivers with a clean installation. Afterwards, restart your computer.</p> <p>Hopefully that works. If it doesn't, just hope they fix this issue soonTM 🤞.</p>
