Forza Horizon 5 crashing. I always get exception code 0xc0000005

Question

Like I said, everytime I launch the game it almost always crashes without any error. There's only exception code in event viewer which according to google is an error with memory. I texted Forza Support like 3 times now and did everything they told me to do, but nothing worked and since they can't fix their own game, they told me to write here. I ran almost every possible diagnosis for memory and everything is fine. Today I even switched RAM to different slots, but that didn't work either. Does anyone have any idea what I could do in this situation?

Answer 1

Open the Settings app.
Select “System” in the sidebar and click the “Storage” dropdown.
Click “Advanced storage settings”, then “Where new content is saved”
Check which drive is set here for apps download. If it is already set to the drive that contains forza 5 try changing it to c drive applying the settings then restarting your system and changing it back

Sorry for such late response. I tried that and it didn't work, I don't know if that matters but I have Steam version of Forza, so I don't think it matters on what drive new apps are installed

1. If you have a third party antivirus uninstall it and then try the game (just disabling the antivirus won't work)
2. If the game is installed on another drive apart from C try installing it on C drive.

Well I don't have third party antivirus so that's not the case and the other solution, there's a problem with it. Forza Horizon 5 takes over 100GB space and on my C drive, I have only 50GB free space because it is 240gb when it's empty. I don't think it is possible to free over 50GB from system drive.

Hello JasiekPolak,

I am Jaspreet Singh.

Please check for these two things :

1. If you have a third party antivirus uninstall it and then try the game (just disabling the antivirus won't work)
2. If the game is installed on another drive apart from C try installing it on C drive.
