What's new

American release supported

The port now runs both the European and the American disc of Forza Motorsport 2 (title ID 4D5307EA). Both hold the same program and the same game files; only the header of default.xex differs, and the launcher accepts either one.

Limited Edition bonus disc (premium DLC)

Once the game is installed, go to Install → Downloadable content → Import bonus disc ISO. The launcher copies the 8 premium packs (car packs, Road America, Motegi), and each profile installs them the next time it plays.

The disc's Title Update #4 is not used: it patches the game executable, and the port runs the unpatched program.

New tab: Forza Plus 2

Install the community mod Project Forza Plus 2 straight from its .zip (American release only):

  1. Choose Project Forza Plus 2 v1.3.zip, pick a career mode and press Install.
  2. Once it is installed, choose Project Forza Plus 2 Update v1.3.zip and press Apply.

From the same tab you can switch the career mode (Normal, Hard, Sandbox, Vanilla), turn on the harder AI, set the field of view of each camera (chase near, chase far, hood, bumper) and uninstall the mod. The original files are kept, so uninstalling puts the game back exactly as it was.

The mod already carries the DLC cars and tracks, so the bonus disc packs are not installed alongside it.

Install tab reorganised

  • Before the game is installed, it only shows Import from ISO and the game folder (by default game\ next to the launcher).
  • After that, it shows the downloadable content status, file verification and the shader cache.

Updating from 0.1.0: extract the zip to a new folder. Then in Install → Change folder pick the game\ folder you already have, or import your ISO again. Your saves in Documents\forza2\profiles\ are kept.

Known issues

  • The DLC cars and tracks have only been tested briefly; please report anything missing.
  • DLC packs are installed under Documents\forza2\profiles\<profile>\. If that path is very long (a long user name or Documents synced to OneDrive), some packs may fail to install; the error is written to the log.
  • Xbox Live features are not available.

If the game closes with an error, please open an issue and attach the file from the logs\ folder.

🇪🇸 En español

  • Versión americana: el port ya funciona con la ISO europea y con la americana.
  • Disco extra de la edición limitada: con el juego instalado, en Instalación → Contenido descargable → Importar ISO del disco extra. Añade los 8 packs premium y cada perfil los instala la próxima vez que juega. La Title Update #4 no se usa.
  • Pestaña Forza Plus 2 (solo versión americana): instala el mod desde su .zip y después aplica el .zip de la actualización. Desde ahí se elige el modo de trayectoria, la IA más difícil y el campo de visión de cada cámara, y se desinstala sin perder los archivos originales. El mod ya incluye los coches y circuitos DLC.
  • Para actualizar desde la 0.1.0: descomprime el zip en una carpeta nueva y, en Instalación → Cambiar carpeta, elige tu carpeta game\ o vuelve a importar la ISO. Tus partidas se conservan.
