Error 0x80600008 Still Persisting, but you can’t keep me down.

Discussion

I have been having the same error code and disconnections for the past month, recently tested today to make sure a small hotfix didn’t pass me by.

However, every single time I want to play, I’ve been doing the Language Metadata fix that was suggested by Official Forza Support.

Open the game, change language, restart, open game, leave garage, change language back, then continue into game after restart.

When I do this, I’m able to play for about an hour or two before the game freezes and crashes me out. But I’m still able to play.

This tells me that the “shadow-ban” rumor that everyone was thinking just isn’t true, and it’s purely the cloud saves and data sync on Xbox and PGG’s side.

This all being said, full disclaimer; this absolutely sucks, and PGG needs to address this problem. What, I spent over a hundred dollars (twice, might I add; one for me and one for my buddy on his birthday) to get the Premium Edition with all the DLC, and I can’t even play the game unless I trick your servers every single time I open the program? Using a backdoor fix in a game with servers and an engine that you created and operate with, PGG?

Be better, PGG, come on. Doubt anyone on PGG Staff will even see this ofc, but I needed to vent. Love this game, but hate that I’m being left behind and there’s apparently no fix for this issue.
