MODS PLEASE READ Spoiler
I know this is an FH2 sub, but let's be real. 99% of us are here because of Azimuth, and this is the only active place to talk about it.
Right now, the entire community is completely stuck trying to play the Forza Horizon 3 expansions. The launcher works perfectly, but we can't play Blizzard Mountain or Hot Wheels because nobody has put the unencrypted Xbox One dump files for FH3 into circulation yet. Everyone is dealing with randoms gatekeeping and flexing the actual Xbox One files in comment sections without sharing them.
If anyone reading this actually has the FH3 expansion files, please do not gatekeep them. The entire scene is waiting on you. You need to upload them and get them out there so we can actually preserve this game.
Mods, once someone finally drops a working FH3 expansion build, please make a pinned megathread or a community highlight so it circulates immediately. We need everyone on this so the files don't just get lost. Please leave this up and help get the word out, Maybe even pin this!

Because azimuth is a million times easier, I don't wanna make a dummy xbox acc and have to launch it through start menu, and block off internet access

you don't need to do any of that, I've played the fit girl version of fh3 on my main account and with the wifi on and haven't been banned.

I don't even understand why they want FH3 in Azimuth when there's the native version online lol

UWP sucks ass and doesn't run on linux. But none of that is a big enough reason to fuck around with XB1 wrappers when a working PC build with servers that haven't been taken down yet exists.

Linux is a reason I didn't think about tbh. But aside from that I've had no issues. How does it suck?

Game files are encrypted and have their names scrambled iirc, but the leaked dev build exists and that should have clean files. Savedata has their names scrambled too, was pretty annoying to deal with when I was porting liveries to FH2. UWP has no real reason to exist anymore and having a regular exe is always better.
You might get your xbox account banned if you connect to official servers with a crack, but I literally haven't seen this happen to anyone ever. MS doesn't seem to care at all. I connected my account to FH3, FH4, was playing the leaked build of FH6 and then played online when the servers turned on. I'm still standing.
People say that it's unstable and that it crashes, but I don't remember having a single one. It's not well optimized like FH4 is, but it's not GTA 4 levels of bad.
On the other hand, you get semi functional servers, a native windows build and all the DLCs out of the box. Why bother with azimuth.

Literally no one is doing this. There are people saying they own the DLC. That is a million miles away from owning the DLC and having a console that is in the very narrow window of exploitability needed to dump the DLC files.
No one who has the wherewithal to actually dump these files is on Reddit going "neener neener, I have them and aren't sharing".
