    Cloud Sync Not Working


    I have both the Xbox Series X and Series S, and in the last 24 hours, I have had issues with the Cloud Sync not working. When I boot up Starfield, it only gives me the option to start a new game. This happened last night while playing on my series X.

    Today, I tried to boot up the game on my Series S and it is having the same issue. Last night I was able to perform a system reset on my Series X, and the sync began to work. I tried the same thing on my Series S and that did not fix the issue. I am 20 hours into the game, and do not want to restart.

    :)

Our development team has to look into this matter more, in my opinion. Please report your case to Xbox Feedback so that we can work with you to remedy this problem. You can provide the Xbox development team with feedback and suggestions through the Xbox Feedback portal. By submitting your case to Xbox Feedback, you'll contribute in our ability to rapidly investigate and resolve the issue.

    To report your case to Xbox Feedback, follow these steps:

    1. Press and hold the Xbox button , and then select Report a problem to launch the Report a Problem app.
    2. Select Report new problem.
    3. If you’re experiencing an audio or video issue, you can provide additional info and diagnostics to your problem report by selecting Reproduce with advanced diagnostics. Otherwise select Continue with standard diagnostics.

      Note If you select Reproduce with advanced diagnostics, continue with the instructions that are found in the section, “Report a problem with media tracing.”
    4. Choose the most appropriate category and subcategory from each dropdown. If you’re not sure what to choose, make your best guess.
    5. If you have a screenshot or game clip with your issue, ensure that Include screenshot or Include game clip is selected.

    9. Select Submit. It can take several seconds for your problem report to send.

    Cloud Sync Not Working

    I began having this same issue immediately after the last update. I would wager they're related.

    I have a series S, bought it refurbished (there's a short that wasn't fixed but I went ahead fixed it myself). I've gotten my account to sync but every day, I have to go through the entire process again. Each time, something different resolves it.
    It involves:
    -Hard rebooting the xbox (Holding the button for 10 seconds and removing the power cord for 15-30 seconds, redundant, but I need to make sure and you'll see why in a second)
    -Rebooting the modem
    -Another hard Xbox reboot (worked once)
    -Deleting and re-adding my profile.
    -Another hard reboot (usually works here)
    -re-installing the game(s).
    -Another hard reboot...

    After doing all these, the problem is fixed. There were two instances where updating the controllers fixed it (I have two), and I only had to update one for it to work. When I switched controllers the following day, the other one also had to be updated. The day after, they were both updated, but the problem returned. In short, you might just have to wipe your entire drive to get it to work again.

    Hope this helps someone. I'm guessing something went wonky in the last update that was either simply missed or incidentally caused some issue somewhere else along the chain. It's quite unfortunate but it does happen sometimes. If it persists longer than a month though I'll have to switch consoles, which I can't really afford. But I also can't afford to spend an hour every day turning on a console as if it were the first computer ever made.
