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

  1. Uninstall FH5

  2. Delete all FH5 local data:

    • C:\Users\[YourName]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.SunriseBaseGame...

    • C:\Users\[YourName]\Documents\My Games\Forza Horizon 5

  3. Restart your PC

  4. Change your IP (restart router or use a VPN)

  5. Create a fresh Xbox/Microsoft or Steam account

  6. Reinstall FH5

  7. Launch the game and skip syncing old save data (if prompted)

  8. 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

❌ Still Can't Play Online?

If you've followed all the steps above and still can't get online, try the following:

🧠 Additional Fixes:

  • Test your new account on a different device (friend’s PC/Xbox)

  • Fully uninstall FH5 using tools like Revo Uninstaller or CCleaner

  • Avoid shared/flagged IPs (try mobile hotspot or VPN to test)
