Forza Horizon 3 Message Board  

I am banned this morning, used the trainer for 2 days, both days I was offline because I had that issue where I could not go online anyways. Fixed it yesterday and did not use the trainer at all after I fixed my online access.
I only gave myself maybe 15 mil credits and used the opponent spin out feature. Played around with the speed feature to launch myself across the map a few times but that's pretty much it.
Never used it online once so there is some sort of detection.

Just got my ban (I was pretty much expecting it because I used the credits feature) and it just blocks you from any online features such as racing online, clubs, and auction house etc.

For those wondering, this game keeps all kinds of internal records (some of which you can see on loading screens and in your stats) and one of those records is how much of a particular thing (credits, skill points, exp) you have "earned" in your career. Since these numbers are not reflected when you change them via the trainer, you are obviously cheating and whatever anti cheat system Turn 10/Microsoft are using can easily identify an account who's numbers do not match.

Use at own risk. Meanwhile, I will continue having my fun offline which I do anyway.

Only thing I will not stand for is if this ban makes it so I can't access the DLC I payed for (which currently it has not, but I will update this post if the next car pack release is blocked by this ban) considering I payed 100bucks for all the DLC stuff.

Nah, so far it seems like it only blocks online functions. I sitll have all my DLC cars. One thing I think is annoying is that it blocks free roam (which I can understand since it is still online) and the online skins. You don't buy the skins, and they're a nice touch if you don't want to spend all the time making them by yourself.

Not sure if you saw my post but if you don't care all that much about your Xbox gamertag, just create a new one and play the game from teh start again. Just log in to the new gamertag on your xbox app and load the game up like normal. no ban.

My account was banned and did not even use any time also online, how do we get the ban?

You will have to ask Microsoft. We warned everyone that the trainer is use at your own risk just like any other programmed designed to cheat a game.

New trainer posted with Super Acceleration and Jump removed as the majority of people believe these options are causing the ban. If this doesn't help and more reports come in, the trainer will be discontinued.

Can you please not discontinue the trainer?

I'd recommend adding a popup message when starting the trainer that there's a strong chance of an irreversible ban in lieu of discontinuing the trainer.

I never planned on playing it online, although it sucks that I can't buy cars on the auction, or download tunes/skins, but I'd rather be able to goof around without grinding for XP and money than keep the few online features that I used.

I was banned today. I used the trainer while activated, but I only ever used the credits and wheelspins. I more than likely got caught for buying too much on the auction house too quickly. Stay safe folks.
