Save data refuses to sync to PC (stuck on 0%)

I’m a prestige 2 player with hundreds of hours on the Xbox One version of the game. I recently got access to a powerful PC and I’d like to play with all of my stuff on the PC version- but every time I try to sync it over, it just hangs at 0 percent. I’ve idled for hours and it just sits there. Is there any way I can fix this while guaranteeing I don’t lose my vehicles?

It’s not unusual for it to stick on 0 for a very long time, and only afterwards slowly start going up while it downloads at a snail’s pace, regardless of how fast your internet is.

Hours though, I’m not sure if it is truly stuck or if you just needed to wait longer. I know, it’s ridiculous, but this has been an issue with Forza games since they came to PC.

(I don’t think it’s the fault of the developers of this game, it’s Microsoft’s cloud system which is the issue.)

It is the developers. Cloud sync has limits but easily worked around. (Source: I’m an architect using MS cloud (Azure, Graph etc) daily.

Some of the issues that show up just scream poor development and hint at a spaghetti codebase.

I mean it affects all games which use the cloud system AFAIK, not just Turn 10 / Playground Games ones.

If you’re saying it’s pathetic that it has these problems then I’d agree… Steam and Origin among others can manage a fully functional system so the fact Microsoft can’t is an embarrassment.

Just let it do its thing. Interruptions during this process can cause your save to become corrupt. I’ve had some syncs take just a few seconds and others that I’ve walked away from, only to come back hours later to find the game sitting on the title screen.

Mine took 3 hours to start sync, this must be a joke
