I was just playing, running some multiplayer races with a friend to complete the laps for “Devoted Racer” when I noticed it stopped counting my laps at 97% on the Achievement Tracker. I quit the game and came back, and when it restarted, I saw the intro video as if I had never played the game before. Then the gender and driver suit choice, then the three initial races, etc.
I attempted to delete my local save and let it sync from the cloud, but that had no effect because it appears my cloud save was either nonexistent, or corrupted. I don’t get to play that often, but I had over 55 hours into the game, somewhere around level 70, and 48 achievements unlocked, most of them tied to game progress. Oh, and I also lost my weekly rewards credits, the level rewards I had achieved during this play session, along with all Forzathon rewards I’ve earned (but was able to thankfully re-claim three of them, the 356, Mercedes and Boss 302). Hard reset, hard reset and unplug for a few minutes, nothing has brought back my game progress. I enjoy the game enough that I don’t mind playing through again, but I’m mostly ticked off that the millions in Rewards credits and gift cars are gone.
To say I’m enraged is being very charitable and polite. I’m hoping that something miraculously recovers my game overnight, but I’m not going to hold my breath.
