Just putting it out there and looking for any solutions. PM your solutions to me. No complaints really except for the fact I felt it was very Nazi like how they have no appeal process and they banned me from multiplayer for modding my single player credits. NOT XP, not my level. They let us know where they stand, with the cry baby haters who think it is all good to reach into your game and tell you how to play with the software you payed upwards of 100 on. Turn 10 and microsoft studios need to learn that it is a game. Anyhow JTAG here I come. Freedom for the Users!!! I knew that new agreement they sent had a shady catch on it when it talked about class action lawsuit. The code of conduct is broken more than modding by people using racial slurs and verbally assaulting kids, women etc. Nothing happens to people with their Nazi banners etc. But this is their focus. Trying to make sure kids have to buy car tokens? Lame.

Unlucky, but you should know if you mod there is a chance you will be banned consoles, Gamer tags, Gamesaves, etc.

Oh yeah I am good. I just am taken back by their mindset and the online crashing thing that is ridiculous. Horizon was not better than Forza 4 and I don't want to play multiplayer on a game where someone could cry about being crashed into and get someone else banned. I was just putting it our there.

Do you get a message saying you have been banned? Or does it just crach online?

Got a message. In your message center. Then again when you try to access any storefront or community activity.

Turn 10 have always been ban happy... every time you turn on one of their games it always scans for some discrepancies and 9/10 times they will catch you.. if you want to mod your forza games stay offline this is he only way not to get caught by them

Well said. But crashing online? These were the words they used. That was the over the top part for me. The credit ban that was on me for being lax and pushing it after the Forza 4 ban. They remove tuning from the game then add dirt and want to ban you if someone complains on you for crashing. Last I checked it was video game racing which will always involve crashing.

I checked their record on you tube and you are correct ban happy is the accurate term. It's all good though. I will definitely tighten up my play.

I think I'm having trouble understanding. Did you mod the game in any way? Because if you did, they can ban you for it, even if it's offline modding. If you're playing a clean save and just happened to crash into somebody, then that's different, I don't see what their problem is. But if you modded the game at all then I don't see why you're surprised.

As I said the only thing I was shocked by is banning people for crashing online. My issues was credits. That involves the storefront not online racing. You can say that they can do whatever because I modded the game save. But that is a whole other issue from saying you will ban people for crashing online without review based on others accusations all online. That is what I am drawing attention too.

Often times the offline info is loaded into a developer's servers specifically so that they can see if there are any strange changes, especially with newer games. I've never played Forza, so I don't know if they tell you why they're banning you. But if they don't tell you why, it's possible you were banned for credit modding; if they did say it was for crashing into another player, then that's probably why, though it's still possible they thought you were modding and were just looking for an excuse.
