ForzaTech Studio EXTv1.0.0.5 (BETA)

Forza Horizon 4 / 5 / 6 modding tool — community release line by Justyn.

New

  • Forza Horizon 6 support — game folder detection, root access and file handling for FH6, alongside FH5 and FH4
  • Automatic material list — fetched on model bin load, correct list selected per game (FH5 vs FH6)
  • Update tab — checks the GitHub repository for a newer release, shows installed vs. latest, one-click download
  • Live game-folder status in the header — green when connected (FH4/FH5/FH6), red when not configured
  • Auto-save every 100 seconds with a "Session Restore" prompt after an unclean shutdown
  • Change Logs, Credits and Discord entries in the navigation footer
  • Support section — contact Justyyin on Discord for bugs and help

Changed

  • Upgraded to .NET 10 — faster startup, lower memory footprint, improved GC
  • Windows App SDK 1.8 → 2.5, Microsoft.Data.Sqlite 9 → 10.0.12, CommunityToolkit.Mvvm 8.3 → 8.4.2, BCnEncoder.Net 2.2 → 2.3.0, SharpCompress → 1.0.0; obsolete SharpDX package removed
  • Fixed gray (graphite) accent throughout — accent picker and Appearance tab removed
  • English-only — language picker and non-English files removed
  • Welcome dialog with dynamic "Set Up Game Paths" button
  • Discord dialog lists both community servers — Forza Mods and Paris Club (https://discord.gg/fh5)
  • Version 1.0.0.5 (BETA)

Stability & Performance

  • Buffered, sequential-scan file parsing — large model bins no longer freeze the UI or exhaust RAM
  • Granny model / clip descriptor parsing moved off the UI thread
  • Settings and session files written atomically (temp file + move)
  • Flat publish layout — starts reliably from any folder, packed or unpacked
  • Portable package ships the .NET 10 runtime — runs on a clean machine with nothing installed
  • Crash logging to %LOCALAPPDATA%\ForzaTechStudio\CrashLogs

Fixed

  • Game root resolution across drives
  • Clear, actionable error messages for invalid or unsupported files
  • Footer menu entries (Discord, Change Logs, Credits) open correctly again
  • Original icon and taskbar branding restored
