Since the day of its release, I’ve played this game like it’s my job, and I’ve been a workaholic, intensely passionate about that work. I had nearly every car and duplicates of half the HE for use in different situations. I also kept multiples of many cars I speculated on in auction. Even if all my cars were replaced, I also spent hundreds of hours modifying the cars in my garage, most of which was unsaved because I far exceeded the number of tunes able to be stored online.
I’m level 550 or so, or higher? I lost track. There’s plenty of evidence I owned those cars. The same thing happened to me in Forza 5, so I’ve been terrified of this possibility all along, but felt confident programmers safeguarded against this nightmare scenario in this newer, more advanced game. When I lost progress in Forza 5, Forza 6 came out a week later, but no such luck this time. Not to mention, I probably spent 10,000 hours more on FH3. Someone at Turn 10, please help me. I love this game, it’s my favorite game ever, but I’m not about to start over. At least, not without 100 million, 10000 tokens and 100 spins to get me started.
This happened about 10 days ago, and I kept hoping updates would solve my problems. This is just so depressing, so unfair; it’s made my greatest joy into my biggest source of frustration.
You are kidding yourself demanding those amounts
Its just a ridiculous expectation
It’s just being greedy
according to your gamertag you only owned 292 cars, that includes multiples , your numbers don’t add up at all, with over 510 cars in the game
and it’s happened to you before with previous games you would think you would be more careful and let the save sync correctly and also shutdown the console and game correctly
its just crazy that with this amount of people losing their progress they cant do some kind of backup saves… thats why i always manually backup my savegames
10,000 hours? 9,500 hours must have been on other accounts because you’ve only played 499 on this one.
Advancements in games can’t change the fact that Xbox One uses the cloud as a save. If your local save gets deleted and you connect to the internet, it’ll overwrite the cloud save as well. You’ll just have to start again like everyone else!
When you start over, don’t forget to make sure the little spinny round symbol on the lower right area of the screen has disappeared before closing the game or shutting off the console. When it is visible, an autosave is in progress, and you can easily lose your data.
I’m not demanding anything. It’s not my fault the game froze and crashed on me. 400 cars includes DLC I didn’t own. If there was any way to back it up more, I would have done so. It’s absurd that this kind of thing happens so on such a time consuming series, with no mechanism to compensate saves lost due to shortcomings in engineering. This happened when the network went down for Forzathon a couple weeks ago. I hoped it was an issue with the patch, but no such luck. Go ahead and ridicule my excessive figures if it brings you joy, but they were clearly hyperbolic, emotional estimates. I’m not demanding anything, I’m just want to go back to playing this game.
Idk where that 226 figure came from, but maybe garage value is there as well. If I can get that amount, I can buy the cars and go back to having fun. Anyone mature enough to offer pragmatic advice? Is there a way to contact Turn 10 support? I thought this was it.
no demands huh
from your first post
but I’m not about to start over. At least, not without 100 million, 10000 tokens and 100 spins to get me started
292 cars not 400 taken from your gamertag stats when looking at your achievements or didn’t you realise you could do that
at least you could be honest and not exaggerate and expect ridiculous things, it has happened to quite a few people with no resolution
you claim to have played longer than the game has even been released and that’s playing 24hrs a day too
its was only released 226 days ago or more now, so its impossible to play 10000 hours that you claim ( only been out about 5000 hours)
going by your stats it’s approximately 500 hours
you are probably just best off playing from where you are unless you are some well known player with a big following as they are the only ones that have ever been helped and that was without even demanding help or compensation
there is nothing stopping you from playing either
you should have expected to be ridiculed with your ridiculous exaggerations and demands, just asking for it
First of all … you’re in a general discussion forum … not even a support forum. But unfortunately, T10/PG will most likely never even respond to your issues. They have a very notorious reputation over the years of never even acknowledging issues, complaints or any kind of correspondence at all … let alone actually doing something about them. Sorry … but you’re not likely to get any relief here.
Well this was bound to happen as once done can not be un done If DJS got is all on a silver platter, then ther are going to be gamers who will expect the same. And who can really blame them for thinking this way. Having the save reset would not be to bad except for one thing, ones garage at the moment I have Managed to obtain all the advailabel HE cars about 90% of the normal cars and most of the Unicorns to date. Still have a few to get via AH. There should be a way to prevent this from happening on the XBox. But I have not yet found a way to backup my Xbox saved games files.
