I got the Xbox one (Day One edition) which included Forza 5. I was more than happy to receive a McLaren P1 for free for purchasing the day 1 edition, later on, I bought ALL car packs and was gifted a Ferrari Laferrari. After realizing how hard it was to save up for the really good cars, I deleted my in-game profile and started from scratch (with the same Gamertag; Xbox live profile) only to find that it had obviously deleted these ‘gifted’ cars. Is there ANY way of retrieving these gifted cars?
Gifted cars from Turn 10 are one time only.
The LaFerrari for example was a gift as you bought the car pack.
If you haven’t received it again after starting your new profile, you’re out of luck.
I don’t know any case where cars were re-gifted.
See that wouldn’t be an issue if it bound to our accounts, and not the damned cloud. Sucks when you have friends over and they make your stats garbage, I’d have them use an alt account, but I got all the fun cars. Least on Forza 4 Before I started letting friends play, I backed up my SAVE file to a flashdrive. So If it ever went to crap (Stats wise) I could just use the backup.
I hate this cloud garbage with a passion. All it’s good for is server hosting.
Worked exactly the same in previous Forzas - if you delete the save, everything is gone. And like has been said - a backed up save will either corrupt your saves or you will get yourself banned.
It was not possible to backup your save in Forza 4 using normal methods, you could only move it between drives. If you do have a backup of your Forza 4 data (made using alternative methods) and you have never used it, you will want to delete it. If you try using a profile older than your last normal profile it will either result in your profile being wiped, you being banned, or both.
The simple answer here is ‘no’.
