Cloud save sync errors and corrupt game saves, Fallout 4, How to turn off cloud game saves on ...

The Xbox One automatically saves games to the cloud while you are connected to the internet. Game progress will be saved in the cloud storage of the account currently logged in.

Cloud Save Sync Errors

Assuming you are using the xbox one version then your saves are stored in two locations. The save cache on the internal hard drive and the cloud.

Now if your saves are corrupt it's possible that going into the system settings then storage then selecting Clear local saved games can delete the corrupt saves on your hard drive.

After this the xbox will pull the hopefully healthy saves off the cloud next time you start the game.

Unfortunately though there is no way to know if your saves have been successfully synced to the cloud so there is a risk of losing the saves that haven't synced.

Factory resetting works in a similar way but that will delete everything off the internal drive and not just saves. Again they will be downloaded from the cloud next time you start a game.

So provided you have healthy copies of the saves in the cloud doing either of these should fix the issue.

Although like I said there is a risk that you could lose saves if they didn't get synced before they got corrupted.

Hey there Patricia!

Sorry to hear that you're dealing with this issue trying to get your save to come up.

Now, what if you don't mind me asking makes you think that it was corrupted?

Did it give you some kind of error or did it start you off from scratch?

If you haven't already, I would check out the information on saving in the cloud at

Store your saved games in the cloud,
Xbox One cloud games saves: FAQ, and
Syncing Xbox One game saves to the cloud error messages.

Give those a look through if you run into any more trouble and let us know if you get any errors.

Hope this info helps.

Thanks!

Turn off cloud storage for saved games

There are two options to turn off cloud storage for game saves:

1. Move saved games out of the cloud and turn off cloud saves

First, you need to move your game saves out of the cloud. See Copy, move, or delete content for steps on how to move content from one storage device to another (for
example, from Cloud Saved Games to Hard Drive).

Once you've done this, you can turn off cloud storage. Here’s how:

1. From the Xbox 360 Dashboard, go to Settings, and then select System.
   
2. Select Storage.
3. Highlight Cloud Saved Games, and then press Y.
   
4. Select Disable Cloud Saved Games.

2. Keep saved games in the cloud and turn off cloud saves

You can turn off cloud storage for a single console and keep your saved games in the cloud for you to use on another console. Here’s how:

1. From the Xbox Dashboard, go to Settings, and then select System.
   
2. Select Storage, and then select your primary storage device.
   
3. Select System Items, and then select Cloud Storage Console Copy.
   
4. Select Delete.

Note You will be asked to confirm that you want your saved games to remain in the cloud, and future updates to your saved games will not be synced with this console.

Hello G'Angelo,

Thanks for coming to the forums with your question. When you turn off storage this means the console will not update or anything while it is off. This doesn't hurt your saves or game syncs. For the game sync if you turn off storage the

cloud save will still upload.

In a hurry to turn off your console?

Don’t worry! You can turn off your console before a game save is uploaded to the cloud. When you turn off your console, your console stays in low power mode until the game save is uploaded to the cloud (that is, as long as the console
has power and is connected to the Internet).

Thanks,

Brad
