Fallout 4 Syncing issue 99%

Dr Darks · Mar 28, 2016

Hello

So for the past day and a half i have been trying to play to get fallout 4 to sync with my cloud data since it will not let me play without it, and it will not get past 99%

It will take 1-2 hours for it to get to 99% (which is ridiculous) and then it will spend an hour there or give me a failed message And as well i have tried everything suggested online.

I've tried resetting my modem and router, hard resetting the console, cleared the local save data, removing and re-adding my gamer profile, clearing the persistent storage, checked for a new update(none available),going offline turning the console
off and back on then going online. All i can remember.

(probably missing something )

Seriously i need a fix

As I write this post the sync meter is at 20% and slowly rising. My final attempt will be to wait for the meter to hit 100% or until fallout 5 is released, whichever comes first.

this would happen to me when I would play on different consoles. I dont know if this would help in your case but I just hit cancel at 99% when I felt it was taking too long if your syncing from the cloud as I was it does depend on the speed of your internet
mine was approx 45 mins with a DL speed of 25mbps. After I canceled I simply tried again it went significantly faster and went to 100%

I had the issue too but cancelled at 99 then tried probably also depends on how much you have to sync since last play

I think I have a solution here guys. After you let the sync reach 99%; press the Xbox button, then go back to the game, and press the "A" button. Wait five minutes. The game should proceed to the main menu. I lost my internet connection then, but that might
have been a coincidence. Let me know if this works, please, so I can stick it to Xbox and Microsoft. Ha ha. Good luck.

This is a known issue for any games that have large game save files in the cloud. We've been reporting it like crazy for quite some time now. Some of the moderators in the preview program assure us that Microsoft know about it and are working on it. Yet
it persists and no official thread/announcement has been made publicly.

I have had this problem TWICE! First time because it seems that the latest patch (1.4) triggers a re-sync of your game data and, unfortunately, Bethesda game saves are quite large. The first time it happened my file was 1.7 GB even though I hadn't used every
save slot. The only way I managed to get it to sync was to uninstall the game, all DLC, and my game save (that is, uninstall all). I then only installed the main game, loaded it, the patch re-downloads, and then it begins syncing your data. It took 4 hours
10 minutes, but eventually it finished. Once it finished I deleted all but critical save points and reduced my save file to about 200 MB. I suspected that it wasn't the last time this would happen to me.

I then had an achievement in Hitman refuse to unlock (it's still not unlocked and it's been reported again and again). The worst advice in the world was to follow the steps to remove your profile, power-cycle console, and restore profile. Not only did this
fail to fix the achievement problem but it meant that now EVERY game on my console would now need to be re-synced with the cloud (removing your profile deletes all game save files from the console). It took about 3 hours this time to re-sync my 200 MB Fallout
4 with multiple, "We're unable to sync your data with the cloud just now" errors appearing and restarting the whole process.

All I can suggest is try the uninstall game method I outlined above, but I think that the problem got worse since (I never had the fail/restart happen the first time), so if you've still got a really large game save file then it might not be possible to
succeed until Microsoft fix the problem.

Looking around here and other places it seems that hundreds of us have been affected by this problem, but sadly Microsoft refuse to acknowledge it officially and/or provide any timeline to when it's going to be fixed if ever at all.
