Forza Horizon Corrupted save file

Hello Mat81,

You cannot use the files of Forza Motorsport 7 with Forza Horizon 5. These are two different games with different file formats and structures. If you try to copy or transfer the files, you may encounter errors or damage your game data. The only way to play Forza Horizon 5 with your Forza Motorsport 7 progress is to buy the game and start a new save file.

But you can use the files of Forza Horizon 5 from one PC to another PC, but there are some conditions. First, you need to have the same Microsoft account on both PCs and sign in with it. Second, you need to have enough storage space on the second PC to copy or download the files. Third, you need to have a stable internet connection on both PCs to sync your progress and achievements. If you meet these conditions, you can use the files of Forza Horizon 5 from one PC to another PC without any difference in gameplay or performance.

You may try to disable any antivirus programs, firewalls, VPNs, or other software that may interfere with the download.

Perform SFC Scan to fix corrupted or missing files.

If you look within all your Forza 4 files on the hard disk, is there a corrupted file about 40kB in size listed? Forza 4 has had issues with save corruption in the past; one of the solutions was to look for a file that meets that and delete it. At the same
time you may want to see if your save is still there, too. (Should be about 10MB in size.)

If your Forza Horizon 4 progress has been lost due to a corrupted file, there are a few steps you can try to recover your saved game data:

Restore from the cloud: If you have Xbox Live Gold, your saved game data is automatically backed up to the cloud. To restore your saved game data, start Forza Horizon 4 and select the "Restore from Cloud" option in the "Manage Game" section.

Restore from a previous save: If you have a previous save file, you can try restoring your game data from that. To do this, go to the "Manage Game" section in Forza Horizon 4 and select the "Restore a previous save" option.

Use a backup file: If you have a backup file of your saved game data, you can try restoring your game data from that. To do this, copy the backup file to the appropriate folder on your PC or Xbox and then start Forza Horizon 4 and select the "Restore from Backup" option in the "Manage Game" section.

Contact Xbox Support: If none of the above steps work, consider contacting Xbox Support for further assistance. They should be able to help you recover your saved game data.

Note: The specific steps for restoring your saved game data may vary depending on the platform you're using and the version of the game you have installed.

Hi Maxen13

Sorry I should have been more specific, I have tried Cancel download - press the Guide button (big central silver button), press Left and scroll down to Active Downloads. Press A, then select Forza Horizon and select Cancel Download. Confirm.

Deleting the partial/corrupted file - From the dashboard, go to Settings/Storage/[All Devices]/Games/Forza Horizon, select the file with and choose Delete. Confirm.

But that didn't resolve the issue, I tried your other suggestion of downloading other files larger that Forza Horizon & then Forza Horizon itself, the other files download fine but Forza still gets caught in a download loop.

I've just formatted my Xbox 360 in a last hope that that will resolve it.

There was a corrupted file on my Xbox, but it had nothing to do with Forza. I checked all Forza files a million times, but I didn't check all my Xbox.

So after checking all my games, I found a corrupted file. However, upon deleting it, it still didn't read my saves.
