Lots of Forza Horizon 5 fans have been pointing out that last week's update for the game seemed to sadly cause more problems, and Playground Games has responded with an emergency hotfix for Xbox Series X and Series S.
This hotfix targets an issue in which "players were stuck when attempting to save on Xbox Series X|S consoles", and based on the early reports we've seen so far, it seems to have done the trick for that problem:
However, the reports continue that the game isn't functioning as it should on those systems. Players have highlighted that the game is regularly crashing to the dashboard, for example, and it's taking ages trying to get out of Photo Mode:
It definitely seems like the recent (larger) update for the game introduced some unwanted issues while also fixing some others, and hopefully Playground Games will be able to fix those new problems in the relatively near future.
The team had previously promised that it would be addressing a variety of multiplayer issues over the next few updates for the game, including Convoys, EventLab, The Eliminator and much more — but it looks like it could take a while.

Xbox Series X user here -
The game has never been able to load for me. It immediately crashes back to homescreen.
I've tried everything to get it to work, but same thing every damn time.
Uninstalled it and can't play it.
I manged to connect to Forzathon and compete in an online event for the first time since launch. Progress!
Series S owner here; Customized my controls in game so I could fully row my own gears but sacrificed the rewind feature from the Y button. Tried setting my controls back to default and no-go.
Sorry, best way I can explain it.
Still a mess here.
Still doesn't support my Logitech G923 properly either. Built in LED tachometer doesn't work nor to half the buttons. Yet they all do on older Forza games like Motorsport 6 and other, non Forza, racers.
I've not had any trouble with loading screens until recently, I tried to do an event and it needed to change season for it. It then got stuck on that loading screen and didn't move off it.
Definitely had longer loading times yesterday. Also had no NPC traffic which made one chapter of the Ferrari mission impossible.
I absolutely love the Series X but have experienced crashes in numerous games and think I might have lemon?!
Did a patch break it after launch? I played a fair bit of offline at launch and couldn't believe how well it performed from launch. Not one issue nut have seen more and more stories about issues
@Earl_Grey I had a similar problem on a mission a few weeks back. Going offline got the traffic back for me.
Yesterday I put a car up for auction and it was just stuck loading the listing. I had to quit out and close the app so no idea what’s happened I haven’t bothered logging back in to find out.
Yeah I experienced the infinite save loop bug numerous times with the last update. Was going to get back into it after seeing how it updated, but hearing this just makes me think they need to release another update. Oh well, I got Halo Infinite to get into.
