Forza Horizon 5 'Lights, Camera...' Accolade not unlocking or working, issue under investigation (potential workaround)

Playground Games recently launched the June Festival Playlist, ‘Explore The Horizon’, for Forza Horizon 5. It introduces six new cars, upgraded Photo Mode features, and a new Pathfinder challenge mode.

The playlist also allows players to explore the wilderness found in the virtual Mexican frontier. However, some are experiencing difficulties unlocking an Accolade.

Accolades is the advancement system introduced in Forza Horizon 5. One needs to earn Accolade Points in order to advance in the Horizon Festival.

By successfully completing the accolade requirements, you will be able to unlock new chapters of the Horizon Adventure.

The recent playlist has introduced a new ‘Lights, Camera…’ accolade in which gamers can earn 250 points by clicking a photo while using the [Jazz Hands] emote.

However, multiple Forza Horizon 5 players (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) are facing an issue where the ‘Lights, Camera…’ accolade is not unlocking or working.

It has been alleged that despite clicking pictures with different character positions and changing the car, location, and time settings, one cannot unlock it.

Sadly, restarting the game does not help solve gamers’ problem. This is undeniably quite frustrating for all those who have spent a lot of time trying complete this accolade.

One of those affected also claims that despite clicking 20 snaps with Jazz Hands, they were unable to unlock it.

The issue has been persistent for the past few days and affects gamers across Windows and Xbox. And understandably, players have taken to the web forums to look for a workaround.

Anyone else not able to get the jazz hands accolade tried multiple times and positions around the car not having a bean of it, on series x.

Fortunately, the Forza Horizon team has officially acknowledged the issue and is currently working on a fix. However, no official ETA for the same has been provided.

They have also suggested that you use the ‘Jump On It’ or ‘Macarena emotes’ for the time being.

In the meantime, we’ll keep an eye on this issue and update this story.
