Microsoft Forza Horizon 3 on PC crashing due to Avast?

[REDACTED]

Here's the path for avast5.ini: C:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast

Ah yes there's my mistake, I was looking in Program Files not Program Data directory, they both have similar paths.

All of our user-modifiable files reside under ProgramData\Avast Software while all of our binaries lurk in Program Files\Avast Software.  Just so it's easier to remember

Hi Avast team

cheers

any updates on this issue, i couldn't edit that ini file (didn't bother with safe mode) so in passive mode, i guess these issues may become more common with other games.

To edit the ini file you first need to disable Avast self defense:

I played Forza a little earlier and then heard about an update to Avast so I installed it a few minutes ago. Now Forza won't work again.

Can you comment on this Milos?

Also is forza crashing at the intro movie?

also Milos can I now remove the virtualisation fix now from the avast5.ini ??

...can I now remove the virtualisation fix now from the avast5.ini ??

As the fix has been deployed already, yes.

Hello,

I have the same problem. I bought Forza Horizon 3 and everything ran so smooth until yesterday. Since yesterday, I am expiriencing startup problems with Forza Horizon 3. It crashes in the "Playground" logo, and it does'nt leave and error code or log. I googled it and it said that it may be caused because of Avast Antivirus. I uninstalled Avast but it did'nt help. I also raed that it helps to disable the mic for the game but it did'nt change a thing. Can you help me with this? I just want to play Forza Horizon... Thank you.

Did you use the Avast Clear Tool: http://files.avast.com/iavs9x/avastclear.exe to remove Avast
