How do I reset my Forza Horizon 4 data on Xbox Cloud Gaming?

Hello loukas 5，



Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

I understand that you are experiencing loss of Forza Horizon 4 game data after Xbox reset. This issue is usually related to the synchronization of game archives and cloud archives. Here are some possible causes and solutions to help you retrieve your lost game data.



1. Verify that game data is saved in the cloud
Forza Horizon 4 and many other Xbox games usually save their archives to the cloud. If you didn't disconnect from Xbox Live before resetting or didn't synchronize your cloud archive properly, you may lose your local archive.
Solution:
Open Forza Horizon 4 and make sure you are logged into Xbox Live (your Microsoft account).
Check that the game prompts you to synchronize your cloud archive. Sometimes, when you start the game, it automatically tries to sync data from the cloud to local.
If prompted to sync, wait a while to see if you can recover the data.



2. Check the Xbox Cloud Archive
Xbox automatically saves the archives of some games in the cloud, but this only works if you're properly logged into Xbox Live and have done a cloud sync. You can check to see if the cloud archive is working.
Steps:
On the Xbox console, press the Xbox button to open the menu.
Go to Settings > System > Storage.
On the Storage page, select Cloud Storage to see if you can find the Forza Horizon 4 archive. 3.



3. Make sure Xbox Live Sync is on
When performing an Xbox reset or restoring factory settings, make sure you're properly synchronized on Xbox Live. Sometimes a reset can result in the loss of an archive, especially if you don't have automatic synchronization set up.
Steps:
Make sure you're logged into Xbox with a Microsoft account.
On the main Xbox screen, select Settings > Accounts > Sync Cloud Archive.
Check to see if cloud archive synchronization is turned on, and make sure all your game archives are synced to the cloud.



4. Recovering Game Data
If your game archive is not synchronized to the cloud, or if your local archive is missing, you can try the following methods to recover your data:
Log out and log back in to Xbox Live:
Sign out of your Microsoft account and log back in.
Open Forza Horizon 4 and see if the archive is automatically restored from the cloud.



5. Reinstall the game:
If the archive is not restored, try uninstalling and reinstalling Forza Horizon 4 and see if it restores the archive from the cloud.
Make sure you are still logged into the correct Microsoft account when reinstalling.



You can also contact the support staff of the corresponding game to find out why.

Hello, I'm Felipe and I'm an independent Community Expert, and I'll do my best to help you.

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.

При запуске forza horizon 4 аккаунт подключается к зарезервированным данным с облака, хотя на xbox есть аккаунт на жестком диске.Поэтому я хочу удалить облачное сохранение но не знаю как это сделать

[Translation - When launching forza horizon 4, the account connects to the reserved data from the cloud, although the xbox has an account on the hard drive. Therefore, I want to delete cloud storage but I don’t know how to do it]

If you have someone with access to a Xbox console, you can use that to delete a cloud save as well as The local one

I have played Forza Horizon 4 on PC and Xbox and my save data is the same.

When you started the PC version did it ask you to download your Cloud Save?
