Issues fixed

See Known Issues and Wheel Support Known Issues for current issues with the game.

"AP301" error on startup

Hold Page Up while choosing Quit to skip this error.[2]

Application Crash (Access violation) when applying paints

The game uses a base64 conversion function that results in out of bound writes when Control Flow Guard is enabled, to fix it add "ForzaMotorsportApex.exe" to the Program Settings for "Exploit Protection" and disable Control Flow Guard for this process.
