  1. How do I restore a previous save file on an Xbox One game


    I was playing Gears of War ultimate edition when my power went out and when the Wi-Fi came back on I went to boot up the game but it was saying that I have never played this game before and I don't have any save data in this game, I gave it an hour after that happened and I restarted my Xbox multiple times and it still is treating it like this is my first time ever playing ultimate edition

    :)

    How do I restore a previous save file on an Xbox One game

    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you are experiencing issues with restoring your game saves.

    I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

    Please be guided that this is a public community forum, so we are players like you, we are not employees of Microsoft or Xbox, so we do not have access to any user account or check anything from the forum. All users help each other with common problems.

    To set your expectations properly, if something goes wrong such as an abrupt power loss, the save data might not sync correctly, and an empty or corrupted file could be written in its place. If the cloud save was already overwritten by the new/empty or corrupted file, there is no way to recover your previous progress since it was not properly saved to the cloud after gameplay.

    Kindly perform these steps to force a re-sync of your cloud save data.

    Make sure that you are connected to Xbox Live and that you are connected to a stable Internet connection so that it can properly communicate with the cloud servers.

    And then exit and restart the game.

    If the issue persist after performing the troubleshooting steps, kindly delete the Local save data. Do this by pressing the Xbox button to open the guide and navigate to My games & apps. Highlight Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, press the Menu button, and select Manage game & add-ons.

    Go to the Saved data tab. Select your profile’s local save data and choose to Delete it.

    This method is common among users who have accidentally overwritten their working save with a corrupted one during sudden shutdowns.

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    How can I get my forza 4 files back?

    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.

    Restore previous cloud saves?

    Hey there ViscidWaves57134.

    Unfortunately if you created a new save and saved over your previous save there isn't a way to recover it, as it would have replaced your cloud save as well. Really sorry to hear about the troubles and if you have any other Xbox support questions, feel free
    to let us know.

    Restoring previous saved data

    Hello again Adam, this is weird, it may even be a Bug in the game instead of the console.

    Have you tried uninstalling the game and installing again?

    Restoring previous saved data

    Unfortunately I’ve already tried that and didn’t have any luck, I’ve started again but the weird thing is I’m in a club and when I’ve hit a board or discovered a new road it brings it up at the bottom and says that I’ve compleated all the roads even though it’s made me start again.
