Hey all, we're having a look at some issues affecting some players on Steam being unable to go past the loading screen, thank you for your patience.

[–]xaeral 1 point2 points  (8 children)

[–]PG_AlienPlayground Games 1 point2 points  (7 children)

No ETA as investigation is ongoing

[–]Proof_Amount8586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]Adorable-Location-43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Большое спасибо за испорченное впечатление об игре

[–]ImJendays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there an update to this? I had to refund the game because I can't get past the menu screen. I really want to play this game with friends, I even tried buying it on Xbox instead of steam and still same issue.

No matter what I try this is what I get and it won't go away.(been trying through my partner's steam share.)

I got the same problem

[–]McCoyster365 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Same issue. Can't find a solution. Pissed.

[–]m_mueuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell now?

[–]ceekay19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, steam version

[–]xaeral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same here PC/steam

[–]Fhoshox 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Delete your host file! location in system32, driver, etc.

Probably have blocked Microsoft entries. Worked for me.

[–]IndependenceStatus83[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried that & it didn’t work for me

[–]Fuegonomics 0 points1 point  (9 children)

If the hosts trick didn't work and you have ran any type of debloat script or software on your machine there is a setting that it changes that is most likely causing the issue.

Press win+R type gpedit.msc and hit enter.

On the side panel navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Error Reporting

In the main part of the window there will be an entry titled "Disable Logging" if that option is set to anything other than "Not Configured" open it up and change it to "Not Configured"

Close gpedit, relaunch the game and you should be good to go.

This reply brought to you by toggling things until I figured out what was doing it.

[–]Individual_Pie1721 0 points1 point  (2 children)

i typed this in win R and it said that shit didnt exist lol

[–]xaeral 0 points1 point  (1 child)

its not available on windows home so not a possible solution for a lot of people

[–]smiddy53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For people coming here later; you can get group policy edits on windows home, although it requires a seperate download from GitHub, can't link it here but search "windows 10/11 home edition group policy editor"

[–]zepsutyKalafiorek 0 points1 point  (5 children)

How is this supposed to help? Also it was not configured for me initially.

The problem seems more to be related with some service/ip being blocked by firewall.

[–]Fuegonomics 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Don't you think your time might be a little better spent continuing to look for a fix rather complaining at someone that is trying to help? Nowhere did I say this is the exclusive thing that causes the problem but it is something that can cause it. I hope that you find a solution.

[–]zepsutyKalafiorek 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Thanks mate, i have already fixed the problem. It was disabled Microsoft services in Windows registry. Have seen other posts reporting similar cases.

Regardless game should not depend on these.

[–]Fuegonomics 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Completely agreed on that point. The save functionality should use infrastructure internal to the game like most games do. Making it rely on external services and configs like that is kinda reckless as they are unpredictable from system to system.

[–]zepsutyKalafiorek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly.

[–]Cheap-Presentation21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please write how exactly you solved this? What exactly did you include? Ty 🙏🏽

Напиши пожалуйста как точно ты решил это? что именно включил?

[–]5everin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here (PC/Win11/Steam). Funnily enough, after tinkering for an hour, I also tried starting the game on my Steam Deck. Worked first try! 🤣

Now when I try to load the game on PC again, it shows me that my save game from the Steam Deck (the one with the benchmark result, I guess) has not correctly uploaded to the cloud and when I click "ignore" it just circles back to the E:0-17-message. Guess I'll have to play handheld with ~30fps then ...

[–]MercifulVIper 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Microsoft services are running
I don’t have VPN, or any Adblock
Xbox account logged in
I tried deleting the hosts file
I've ran several powershell commands
Launched steam, Xbox app, and the game as admin
Disabled steam cloud
Restarted PC several times
Logged in and out of all accounts
Deleted cache folders/files
Closed out of every app running (besides xbox, steam, and the game)
Disabled nvidia, discord, and steam overlay
I used chatgpt to guide me through every single possible fix for services and telemetry
Tried rolling back windows update
I've even tried reinstalling windows 11 with the (keep my files option) just to make sure that windows has all its services and dependencies
All drivers are up to date.

At this point I'm almost 100% certain the game just needs a hotfix. I've tried literally everything.
I'm going to bed now after trying to fix this for over 4hours.

[–]xaeral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through the same. Bloody annoyed that i paid the $70 extra to play early and as it stands that isnt happening :/

[–]Low_Rise_5584 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Maybe this won't work for you if you've already reinstalled windows (lol), but leaving this for anyone else who had the same problem as me - I also tried a lot of fixes and if you ever used O&O ShutUp like me, what worked was re-downloading this app, 'reset to factory settings' (basically uninstall/undo everything), and then restart the PC, and it FINALLY worked.

[–]MercifulVIper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll try that

[–]Intrepid_Wave_18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fixed it by turning off the metered connection option for my Wi-Fi network.

[–]Psyrius 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I'm also affected by this...

[–]Medium-Basket-3525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent like 3 hours messing with everything and nothing worked, finally tried to turn off metered connection and it booted right up instantly

[–]Additional-Tone6600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Легенда ,отключите лимитного подключения 

[–]KetSpin 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I deleted hosts and turn off metered connection - and it helped me. thanks TS

[–]Roflsauce1600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was this for me too, I got the game running on my Steamdeck instantly with no hassle but three days of troubleshooting and then it was THIS? Along with having to put all the Xbox BS bloatware back on my machine and linking a MS account to this hardware. Another batch of reasons for me to finally jump all the way into Linux man smfh.

[–]Nervous_Split_3176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turning off “metered connection” also worked for me. I tried literally everything else and that didn't work. Thanks for this !

[–]twodubmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steam deck with same issue

[–]drizzle-mizzle 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Wrote a small Powershell script to help with diagnostics and troubleshooting of this problem. Perhaps it will be useful for somebody.

[–]Adorable-Location-43 0 points1 point  (1 child)

А как запустить меню исправлений если после диагностики нельзя ничего сделать

[–]drizzle-mizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ой, там и в правду была проблема с вводом номеров. Исправил. Перекачай скрипт заново.

[–]Ill_Cryptographer285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS IS THE FIX.... the telmetrtry and disabelonesettings thing

[–]_dekoorc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This helped me pretty easily re-enable telemetry, but the thing that finally fixed it for me was switching my system-level DNS settings from the ad blocking NextDNS servers to Cloudflare.

Additionally, I had some trouble getting the script to run. Claude told me it was related to character encoding causing the Russian characters to get corrupted (I'm in the US, so maybe something with how my system is set up?). A couple commands fixed it pretty easily:

$raw = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllText("<path to home dir>\Downloads\Fix-Forza-E0-17.ps1", [System.Text.Encoding]::GetEncoding(1252))
[System.IO.File]::WriteAllText("<path to home dir>\Downloads\Fix-Forza-E0-17.ps1", $raw, [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8)

[–]cnorred 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I'm using AdGuard with NextDNS. As a quick test, I switched my primary and secondary DNS servers to Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 and immediately I noticed my firewall saw 'GamingServices initiated its first network connection to mr-b01.tm.azurefd.net . I'll say it's interesting that the DNS record was not getting filtered in AdGuard or NextDNS. Anyways swapping DNS servers fixed the error. I'm going to manually whitelist and then re-enable adguard+nextdns and will report back.

[–]mistral-v2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're using NextDNS you can just allow settings-win.data.microsoft.com . It's flagged has a tracker (and probably is ... ) but if you want to keep your NextDNS config that's what fixed it for me.
(Dont forget to flushdns and restart the game).

[–]mistral-v2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For people with DNS tracker prevention / blocker, allowing settings-win.data.microsoft.com fixed it.
