Issue: Game crashes when trying to tune a car. Fix: This is a texture memory bug. Lower your "Environment Texture Quality" from Extreme to High. The v140520 build still has a memory leak at Ultra settings.
Issue: Controller not working (Steam Deck / Xbox controller via Bluetooth).
Fix: For the verified crack, you must run the game through the ForzaHorizon5.exe and not the desktop shortcut. Alternatively, add the exe as a non-Steam game and launch via Big Picture Mode.
Issue: Micro-stutters during the Hot Wheels ice track. Fix: Turn off "Ray Tracing" entirely. The Hot Wheels DLC wasn't optimized for RT reflections in this build.
