How to fix the disappearing convoy error in Forza Horizon 5
At the moment, there are three main ways to fix the disappearance of the convoy in Forza Horizon 5⇓
- Drive a little further away from the locations of other members of the convoy.
- Go to the Horizon Festival location.
- Launch the Horizon Solo, then join the convoy.
A patch from Playground Games should have fixed these issues a long time ago, but many players are still experiencing this issue. So, until we get a suitable patch or fix.
Now let's analyze the three proven methods in more detail↓
Workaround solutions:
Move a little further away from the other members of the convoy
It is now quite common to see convoy members disappear from your mini-map and from the FH5 convoy screen. This can affect you even if you are a convoy commander or one of its members. So the best way to fix this is to keep moving away from the other members and eventually they will get back on the map. This is quite frustrating, given that the main idea behind the convoy is to play together in a game. And due to this Forza Horizon 5 convoy disappearing bug, we can't pinpoint the real issue behind it, but using this method has always worked for us. But it can happen too often, and in the end we stopped caring about it. Then when the leader starts the event, we all play together, then the race ends, we all go out together.
Go to the Horizon Festival location to fix the missing convoy in Forza Horizon 5.
If running and driving isn't in your best interest, there's a quick fix. The idea is to bring up the pause menu and navigate to the Horizon Festival website. After the loading screen, you will return to the map along with the other members of your convoy. But this will only benefit you if you play on an Xbox Series X/S or a PC with an SSD. Because it may take a long time to load FH5 to the hard disk. So it's better for you to use the above step than to come to the festival site every time.
Launch the Horizon Solo, then join the convoy.
Another fix for the disappearance of the convoy in Forza Horizon 5 is to open the pause menu, click "Horizon Solo" and return to online mode. This will only help if the convoy members are on your friends list. This is because when you click Horizon Online, the game will give you a prompt similar to "your friend (friend's name) is online, do you want to join his convoy?". Clicking Yes here will take you back to the convoy. And to make sure that you are the leader all the time, ask the convoy members to join you when this error occurs. They will then all exit the game and rejoin you, making you the leader of the convoy.
