Liveries - Players getting Too Many Saves when trying to import vinyl or liveries from FH5 (1667962)

My livery thumbnails look like so:

When I attempt to create a livery of my own, or download someone else’s livery. I get the “too many saves” error message:

However, deleting slots doesn’t “make room” for new ones. The game still thinks the slots are full.

As is, I cannot create any of my own liveries, vinyls or tunes anymore, nor can I download/like anybody else’s. I’m frankly not that upset about anything previously made/saved being lost, but I’ve never had a game malfunction in such a way that it would not allow new saves.

This may have happened due to Steam cloud sync error but none of my other data (cars, outfits, accolades, levels, progress, scores) are affected.

If anybody has any insight on how to fix this, I would be most grateful

EDIT: This was solved by de-syncing and re-installing on Steam. (I still can’t access previous liveries/tunes saved , but I can now delete the corrupted slots to make room for new slots which save fine) YMMV. I’ll leave this up just in case somebody else bumps into this issue

It’ll only show a select amount of liveries from FH5/FM7/etc, most of them being old files, and this can’t be changed. I tried going onto Horizon 5 to delete some of them to see if they’re replaced with newer ones, but it just shortens the list that’s already there.
Ironically and annoyingly literally all of my decent liveries aren’t there.

And it’s not possible to work around this by just saving all the panels of liveries as vinyl groups, transferring those over and doing it manually, because the second you try to import any old vinyl it’ll say you have to many files, even if you have none saved whatsoever. It’s almost like they’ve deliberately banned painters from being able to carry over their pride and joy.

Please fix this as soon as possible. One of the main things I was dreaming about with this game was importing my Horizon 5 files, and now my dreams have been crushed.

Livery import from previous Forza titles to Steam does not work currently and is a Known Issue. Are you on X or S?

There’s also the issue of everything being in a vertical list, so it’s hard to find what you want, but that’s not really a fixable thing.

Xbox Series X.

I mean I’m playing it only an hour after pre-release is available, but surely this would have been tested? And isn’t this just the full game as it would be in five days’ time?

I’ve tried fully uninstalling and reinstalling the game, and this does nothing at all. Still the exact same limited file list and vinyl block.

For me it doesn’t find any liveries from FH5. I’m on the steam version. Has any one else issues with that?

I Hope they fix it as I’ve spent too many hours in 5 to start remaking everything just because it’s not possible to import

Series S -FH5.: Missing designs. I’m missing about 30+ designs. I’m checking the car is correct year n model, making sure it’s not a Hot Wheels flake paint, etc. at first I kept getting error saying none was found. That lasted hours, now my designs from my past titles are showing up except the last 30 I did on FH5 . I specifically did designs for the 3 new cars , the civic , Subaru, mustang Gt …… anyone else having problems ? It seems to be with the most recent recent designs that I saved on fh5

I’m not remaking anything that’s sitting right in front of me: some of my liveries have all the different panels as vinyl groups. Why should we have to sit there being denied access to our hard earned work?

Same issue: Most recent 20 or so liveries from FH5 are not showing up. Vinyl importing is fine. XB Series S

Hi,

I am trying to import vinyl groups from previous Forza titles to the new Forza motorsport.

However despite not having imported any over yet every time I try to do so it comes up with too many saves of this file type.

Is anyone else getting this message?

I can import liveries no problem.
