Save Game Corrupted. Any chance of getting my Ferrari 312P back?

Hi all,
Some of you might have seen my post in the FM6 Support thread regarding my save file getting corrupted.

I tried all fixes I could think of, and followed the many tutorials on how to possibly fix it, but to no avail. This meant that I had to delete my corrupted save file, and start over. I don’t have much of a problem with that, however, I do have a problem with the fact that the Ferrari 312P I earned through finished high up in the January league event is now gone. Is there any possible way I could be reimbursed for my loss?
Here’s my 312P from my now-corrupted save file:

Heck, you can even check my gallery in Forza 6, and you’ll see that I have some photos of my Ferrari 312P after it was gifted to me:

I hope that this is enough proof to show that I actually had the car, and would greatly appreciate it if I could be gifted a replacement. Thanks.

Try contacting T10 Helios

He was helping people with save issues at one point. He may be able to help you out?

Good luck dude. Ever since they removed gifting this has been a real problem for many.

Alright, I’ll do that. Thanks for the reply, and the good luck as well. :slight_smile:
Edit: Sent out a PM to him, hopefully all goes well.

Good luck getting the car back. I hope you get it. I worry about my saved file getting corrupted and lost. Hopefully you get a good result and I can worry less.

Good luck, hope you get it back. I have 2 since T10 sent one extra by mistake. I’d give it to you if I was able to.

I hope you get your Ferrari back. It’s a shame you lost your save, we had a fun, friendly competition going on maxing affinities. You’re taking it much better than I would if I had lost my save. It’s good to see someone with a great attitude.

Thanks man, I sure as heck hope so too. There’s no hope in me ever getting my save file back, but it honestly doesn’t bother me. The loss of my hard-earned Ferrari 312P though? That hurts.

It is, but the issue is the save backed up in the cloud becomes corrupt. Happened to me and there was no fixing it.

This is my biggest complaint with the not being able to backup your own saves. I hate relying on a ‘cloud’ or just your HDD for save game data. I miss the days when we could use a USB drive or two for the sake of saving our game in more than one place. All because of a few modders it ruined it for everyone who did it simply for the protection of their save games…

Another reason why I hate modders so much. they have ruined so much of forza for us.

I agree. Its really annoying. Thats way it always goes the minority always spoil things for the majority. It was so much easier simply backing up on my usb.

Yeah, I tried that too. Sadly, it didn’t work.

The problem is that every time Xbox live have an issue (DDOS, Server load etc), your save could become corrupt in the cloud. The very place that is the last line of defence. But when you go back online it automatically Overwrites one save with the other, without checking either for corruption first. It should allow you a choice of testing each save before deciding which one to junk.

Well, it’s been 2 days, and still nothing regarding getting another 312P. No reply from Helios T10, no gifted 312P, nothing.
Could a Turn 10 moderator kindly assist me? I’ve provided decent proof to show that I in fact had earned it.

How did you contact Helios?

Sent him a private message here on the forums.

He’s not always on here, I’ll see if I can contact him and link him here for you :slight_smile:
