FORZA 3 SAVE FILES URGENT IMPORTANT

I have my saved files on my old 360 that still works. I can see the files on my hard drive. When I boot the game it starts as if I did not play this game ever. Im at driver level 32 if I remember correctly. I want to finish this game but how can I get my saved files to load. Please dont tell me I have to restart this game. Someone plz help.

I mean I have achievements to back me up. What is going on here? I have few saved files on my 360 hard drive. No support for cloud on this game I don’t know what to do with team. I have a new 360 slim but don’t want to do anything till I know what is going on. Why cant I load my original progress on my original 360? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

One of your game saves might be corrupt, if it is it will have a yellow explanation mark next to the save file. One of my game saves got corrupt right after a cloud sync. My suggestion to you is delete all game saves in the cloud and disable the cloud and never use it again to avoid another corrupt game save caused by the cloud. That was my problem not sure if it is yours. Hope that this is at least some good information for you, alpaca777.

any error messages popping up when you load fm3?

as posted above go look at the actual game saves in the fm3 folder on your HDD if there are any with a yellow triangle next to them delete them.

what is confusing me in this post is the part with the new slim 360 … if your old 360 works (plays fm3 ) see if the game will load the save.

as for starting over you are at 32 not to far into the game , if you really wanted to finish you could do it

I have this exact same problem. I’ve only ever played Forza 3 on my Xbox 360 Slim 250Gb and it’s always worked but I just loaded up the game, downloaded the mandatory 3Mb update and now it’s acting as though I have never played before. All of my save game info is on my hard drive I’m looking right at it but Forza flat out refuses to load it and now it just has overwritten my old save with a new save with the default car and nothing else. I’m really hoping there’s a fix for this some how because I do not want to start over. There’s no yellow exclamation mark on any of my data and there never has been and I check all of my console licenses and tried clearing the cache but still nothing.

If it has over written your old save then there is nothing you can do aside from start again. There may be some people stillaround who could help you out with cars/credits though.
