I am completely outraged by the current situation regarding the data synchronization issues in Forza Horizon 5. It is unacceptable that, despite having local save files, the game does not allow players to start normally when cloud synchronization fails.
This absolute dependency on a service that is clearly unreliable shows a tremendous lack of foresight and a deep disrespect towards the players. It is unacceptable that after hours of waiting, the only option is to manually stop synchronization, with the risk of losing progress or causing additional errors. And even after accepting this, the game still fails to launch properly — after pressing Enter, it just keeps spinning endlessly.
I expected much more from a title of this magnitude and from a team that should prioritize the player’s experience above everything else. It is extremely disappointing to see such fundamental issues still being handled so clumsily and unprofessionally.
