Forza Horizon 5 crashing or don't starting
Ewsg Jul 12, 2023
Hi there,

I would be very grateful for any help.

I am trying to run Forza Horizon 5 on Steam through Proton without success. This is the same machine where I run, for example, No Man’s Sky, Dirt 5, Days Gone and other games, without issues.

But Forza Horizon 5 does not runs. Or the game crashes in that screen where first appears the image of a controller with a loading icon, or it does not even starts, depending of the Proton version I use.

Sometimes, however, I can "play", but just for a few seconds, until the game crashes. I was not even able to pass that introductory/tutorial part.

I have already tried several Proton versions, including GE, without success.

I have a Core i7-7700HQ with 16GB of RAM, a Nvidia GTX 1060 graphics card, the game is installed in a SSD (Kingston), and I am running Endeavour OS already with kernel 6.4.2.

Thanks in advance for any help.
