I wanted to make people aware of an issue with launching Ultimate Edition today. Players who purchased the Ultimate Edition before 8/31 but have not since updated their Xbox One, have disabled auto-updates, or have not gone online since pre-ordering, may still have just the Forza Motorsport 6 "stub file" (essentially a placeholder) on their Xbox consoles, and not the full pre-downloaded version of the game. For those players, launching the stub file will cause the game to return to the dashboard without prompting the player to download a CU for the full game. Affected players can simply delete this stub file and re-download the game from "My Games & Apps" but will need to download the full game before being able to play it.



An easy way to find out whether you have the full game or the stub file is to look at the image associate with the game. Examples:



FULL GAME IMAGE:







STUB FILE IMAGE:





While we expect this problem to only affect a minimum number of players, I wanted to make sure that those affected know that we were aware of the problem.



Thanks and enjoy early access to FM6!
