Forza Motorsport Update 2 is to be released on 14 November. On the technical side, it will focus mainly on stability, gameplay and multiplayer issues.
Forza Motorsport has not had the best start, to say the least, but was instead released with many technical and gameplay issues. The first big patch, officially called Forza Motorsport Update 1.0, released shortly after launch. This addressed the most urgent stability, progression, and multiplayer problems. However, Forza is still not in a flawless state, as many players continue to have the same or new issues.

Regarding game fixes, Community Update 2 is said to include "many fixes to improve overall game stability and reduce crashes across all platforms". Users with AMD processors will be particularly pleased that the optimizing shaders problem now seems to have been solved. This issue caused shaders being required to recompile every time Forza Motorsport is started on AMD chipsets. The result could be load times of 10 or more minutes.
