FH5 Recovery Guide
If you spend too much money or only use very rare cars online, you may (very rarely) get banned. Don't worry, here's how to get back guide. Read the full instruction:
🖥️ PC / Steam: How To Reset Safely
Even if you use a new Xbox/Steam account, you might be restricted due to saved data or flags.
✅ Step-by-Step: Clean Setup
Uninstall FH5
Delete all FH5 local data:
C:\Users\[YourName]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.SunriseBaseGame...
C:\Users\[YourName]\Documents\My Games\Forza Horizon 5
Restart your PC
Change your IP (restart router or use a VPN)
Create a fresh Xbox/Microsoft or Steam account
Reinstall FH5
Launch the game and skip syncing old save data (if prompted)
Avoid all mods, cheat engines, or tools
⚠️ Common PC Mistakes
Using old registry entries or backups
Reusing a banned Microsoft account
Failing to clear cache data
🚀 Xbox Consoles
✅ What You Can Do
If only your account is banned: create a new Xbox account
If your console is flagged:
Try resetting console to factory settings
Connect via a different IP/network
Contact Xbox Support if needed
⚠️ Permanent console bans are rare, but possible if flagged multiple times.
💡 PlayStation 5 (PSN)
PlayStation bans usually target online behavior, not the device itself. However:
✅ If You’re Banned:
Create a new PSN account
Avoid using cloud saves linked to your banned account
Never use the same login credentials again
⚠️ Important:
PS5 doesn't allow third-party software like mods
Some services (like Wheelspins) are currently not safe on PS5
💻 Steam-Specific Notes
Steam bans are rare, but if you use Microsoft login with your Steam version:
Create a new Microsoft account
Use Steam Family Sharing to test new accounts
Delete FH5 cloud sync (disable it under Steam > Properties > General)
🚀 Bonus Tips For Staying Safe
Always use accounts only once – never reuse after a ban
Avoid suspicious mod menus or cheat tools, not buy to much
Check your connection: NAT should be "Open"
Run Xbox Networking Test on PC for diagnostics
