Cloud sync wrong save.

Hello forza fans,

As many people might have this problem already, i recently went to my friends house and i downloaded my profile on his xbox one. i then proceeded with entering forza 5 and usually it gives me a sync message and downloads all my cars. well this time it asked me if i wanted to download 2 different saves, 2 difference dates each one. one being newer save. (which would most likely mean thats the most recent one) second saying older save. i chose the newer one. i was assuming it had the latest save on my profile. turns out when it finish sync, it had restarted my whole game. so i deleted my profile form his console and later came home and tried downloading it back into mine, then relaizing that it sync the same date from his console and now i have lost my old save with all my cars. 30,000,000 in credits. i thought being that this game is saved on my hard drive that it might just sync with my hard drive and retrieved my saves, but that didn’t happen and it still doesn’t want to give me the option to pick the old save in the cloud, it juts sync the same one over and over again. i called Microsoft and they weren’t able to help me at all. i was wondering if there was anyway to get into the cloud and choosing the old save or anything i can do to retrieve my old profile. i really don’t want to go through all that again in the game. it took a lot of hours and now i have to restart the whole game all over again. this really makes me not want to play the game at all. i don’t why the cloud even asked me to pick one out of the 2, doesn’t the cloud just have to automatically sync what was last saved? why does it even have this option to begin with? please shed some light on this because i know you guys know how much man hours it takes to make all that money and have that many cars, and then suddenly lose everything, you know that feeling and it really sucks when you lose everything your worked for.

I know this doesn’t help but I had the same msg come up last night but I went with the older as it was the hd, I did not choose the newer save as it was linked to the cloud and I don’t trust the cloud. after checking, even though it was the older save my progress was all present and correct.

Guess what .-. I have the same problem but on Trails Fusion. I’ve been doing research and messing around with the xbox to try finding a way to fix this problem. It is really frustrating. If any one know a way of backing up the other saved data please reply! I can’t believe it’s all gone D: well, I hope I’m wrong

Had the choice to pick from two saves when I started the game yesterday also picked the newer one and it didn’t corrupt my save file still have all my cars and my driver and affinity levels. Going to be more careful in the future though and always completely back out of the game before I turn off the console.
