i synced the wrong data file for forza horizon

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community and Merry Christmas.

Hello XMyStIc, what device are you trying to sync your progress on, PC or console?

You already try to synchronize with the last save you had, if you synchronized wrong and it subscribed your save from the cloud unfortunately it will not be possible to recover it.

ok, trying to sync my Forza Horizon 2 data, and even swapping to Hotspot isn't working on that

Hi there,

I'm guessing this it the first time you're playing Forza Horizon 4 on PC,

If you've lost your game data for Forza Horizon 4 on PC, having closed the game before allowing it to sync up, ( which it can take some time to do so ),

To make sure you've not completely lost your save data, I would load Forza Horizon 4 on you're Xbox console and see if your save data is ok on the Xbox, if it is ok,

I would then uninstall Forza Horizon 4 from you're PC, then reinstall it and allow it to fully sync up, which may take so time to do so , to see if it works / fixes the issue.

I'm not sure about the Windows 10 update, as I've not had to do any update's to Windows for Forza over the years of going back and fourth playing Forza Horizon 4 between Xbox and PC and having to sync every time i do so.

Your saved cloud would only over write your saved data if it was a saved at a later date, are you sure your using the correct account.

Were you using your xbox offline for this to happen?

Did you already overwrite the cloud save with the local save data that you loaded?
