In Forza Horizon, since the first game, there are these "barn find" rumors that pop up randomly while playing the game. These will tell you to search a certain part of the map until you find a barn with an old beat up car in it. The car will then sit in your garage for a while until the mechanic has fixed it up, at which point you can pick it up and drive it.
In Forza Horizon 3, playground games had you search for 15 of these. There are 15 total, so you have to find all 15 for the achievement.
Unfortunately, for many people it would not track correctly. Sometimes during certain events they'd get one, and it wouldn't improve. However, sometimes they'd do each barn find one by one, and nothing would improve anyway, even if they were just in free roam. For a few people, the barnfinds available in the DLC allowed them to still get to 15. But for others, even that did not work. And of course I shouldn't need to mention that no one should have to pay for an achievement to work. And again, for many people that didn't work either.
The only workaround, apparently, was an extremely long and involved process involving going offline, deleting local saves, playing the game until you get a barn find, deleting your local save, going online, etc. A long process. But that was the best people had.
It was never fixed.
It appears part of the issue is that different parts of the restoration process for the car triggered progress. So for one car, finding it counted, for another, restoring it would.
Well you'd think Playground would have fixed this achievement, or just made it so the game would check if you had that car in your garage. But nope.
Okay well maybe it's just too hard to fix. Kind of unacceptable, but whatever. It's just too hard to fix.
So why on earth would they make the exact same achievement in the next game??

Like are you actually serious?
I have not played Forza Horizon 3 yet. I purchased it this summer, but was busy with Destiny 2. Currently playing through the 360 version of FH2, but as someone who has spent a lot of time playing these games to earn all the achievements (1500/1500 for FH1, 2000/2000 for FH2 on XB1), this puts a huge stress factor on this game, and doesn't really make me want to get FH4.
Like at all. Really not motivated to get the game at all. And I love these games...
The whole fun of these games for me is pursuing 100% completion stat, at least on the achievements. The fact that playground couldn't have just required you to get, idk. 7 of the cars, if they were that incompetent at coding an achievement, is just bizarre. If you can't fix it, why the heck are you putting it in the next game?
Ridiculous, Playground and Microsoft.
Oh also apparently support is closing tickets for this since it's a "known issue," but it is not listed under known issues and has not been addressed in plans for patches.
I feel pretty helpless here too. It's an achievement, so idk how I could really get a lot of people on board with the issue, so it'll probably just fade away. It's ridiculous and incompetent of them to leave it like this, but what can you do? Ugh.
