Forza Horizon 5 players are experiencing the worst kind of crashes. Discord screen sharing is causing both the Steam version (which connects to the Windows Xbox app) and Microsoft Store version to break, according to several reports on Reddit.Interestingly, Discord is listed on a Forza Horizon 5 support page as software known to cause the game to crash, but it doesn't specify what specifically causes it. Many players say as soon as they initiate screen sharing on Discord, the game closes itself and they have to restart it. Some suggest trying Discord's desktop screen capture setting instead of trying to stream the game itself, but doing so will not share the game's audio. Others say to try running Discord's beta «Canary» version to prevent the game from crashing.One user detailed how to Stream the game using the desktop capture method with audio over a series of steps that involve tweaking your PCs audio settings. It's elaborate, but several people have reported it works, if you're up to it.In the known issue list on the game's support page, programs like MSI Afterburner, OBS, and Xsplit are included. All of them are commonly used programs that inject themselves into games to display in-game overlays or to output video streams.
