Hi,

Given the number of apps "can cause Forza Horizon 4 to either fail to launch or crash while playing" :

The following list of software applications can cause Forza Horizon 4 to either fail to launch or crash while playing. Please make sure you either disable or uninstall to ensure successful gameplay.

Logitech G Hub
MSI Afterburner / Riva Tuner Statistics Server
EVGA Precision
OBS
Xsplit
Discord
MacType
Warsaw Banking App
Wallpaper Engine
A-Volute Sound studio
Nahimic Audio
Sonic Audio

If these apps issues has been going on for so long, maybe it's that the root cause is at the FH4 level which requires probably deep changes in the game so that it is fixed and the devs are not ready to do hence this observations above (even if A-Volute can try to find workaround fix which last longer or shorter over the versions of SS3 app and SS3 APO SWC driver). Conversely, FH4 is the only game/app to date that generates such issues with SS3.

Hi mokichi, thanks for answer.
Basis of problem is don't know if it forza or ss3 drivers.
As the problem stems from realtek ss3 drivers. because
Only Logitech G-Hub and realtek SS3 drivers were installed. After a few crashes, I removed the realtek and SS3 drivers. problem solved.
the sad thing is that the problem has not been solved for as long as two years. perhaps due to lack of communication between ss3 and forza developers.

The best action to perform was that of revealed : Contact ASUS Support as they can get everyone affected by this issue to interact (A-Volute/Nahimic & FH devs).

Now if you want to add more weight to revealed actions, open a ticket at :

The software did not use to cause Forza Horizon 4 crashes on my Maximus X Formula. But since I'm on a Rampage 6 Extreme Encore the software had been causing the crashes...:(

Looks like Nahimic has fixed the issue with Forza horizon 4 and SS3, noted that there is no profile in the application list for forza in SS3 but the game is not crashin, been running it for 30 minutes so far and no crash.

Same here. Finally there is a fix

FH4 works good now, but they have not fixed FH3, it is still detecting by the SS3 and crush after a few minutes. WTF

Guys who suffer of FH 3 crash issue. We need to spam Nahimic support that they to fix FH 3 too! May be that is the only way. Because fixing FH4 was way too long

PS have anyone checked that SS3 FX works properly in this game? If it is not detected by the SS3 it seems FX does not work too. They just bypass the issue.
