Active Bugs at Launch
| Bug | Workaround | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| PS5 DualSense controller not working consistently on PC | Use DS4Windows or switch to an Xbox controller; native PS5 launches later in 2026 | High |
| Wheelspin not granted when spending skill point on level-up frame | Wait for the next level-up before opening the Car Mastery tree | Medium |
| Barn find marker missing after stamp tier unlock | Fast-travel back to festival and check the Rumours panel | Medium |
| Barn doors don’t open at marker | Drive 300m away and return | Low |
| Steam Deck: reset-to-default forces 720p | Manually re-set 1280×800 each reset | Low |
| Crash on launch (some PC users with Intel Arc) | Update Arc drivers to latest beta | Medium |
The DualSense-on-PC bug is the highest-severity active bug — affecting anyone trying to use a PS5 controller for PC crashing/glitch reasons before the native PS5 port arrives.

FAQ
Why is my PS5 controller not working on PC? Known launch bug. Use DS4Windows or swap to an Xbox controller. Native PS5 support arrives with the post-launch PS5 port.
Is there a barn find bug in FH6? Yes — barn find markers can disappear after a stamp tier unlock. Fast-travel back to a festival outpost and check the Rumours panel; the marker should re-appear. If the barn door doesn’t open at the marker, drive ~300m away and return.
Why isn’t my wheelspin working after a level-up? The wheelspin not working level up bug fires when you spend a skill point on the level-up frame. Workaround: wait for the next level-up before opening the Car Mastery tree.
Are best settings video guides available (e.g., Hardware Unboxed)? A Hardware Unboxed FH6 optimization video is the most-cited community reference on Reddit. See the best-settings page for the consolidated recommendations.
Why is Forza Horizon 6 crashing on Intel Arc? Update to the latest Intel Arc beta drivers — that resolves most launch-day Arc crashes.
How often will this page update? Weekly during launch window, matching Playground’s hotfix cadence.
