In fh5 I got stuck on syncing data and got around it but now I lost all my save data

Hello, Kyle. I’m Arturo.

I’m sorry to hear your progress in Forza Horizon 5 has been lost.

Regarding your inquiry, the Forza support is able to assist you with this.

However, as they informed in the article that I am going to share below:

“We will not be able to return any lost progress or return your old save. We will produce a 1:1 match to your inventory for Forza Horizon players.

Unfortunately, we will NOT be able to return any Forzathon Points, Skill Points, Level, Experience, Tokens, or Progress”.

In case you want to proceed with your restore request, it is necessary for you to perform some of the steps they indicate in this same article.
It is important to note that an Xbox console or PC is required.

I tried all these methods, I just got FH5 installed but all it did was sync data. It didn't do anything. I still cant get into the game.

There's one thing i can think of to try get your data back,

You'll need to install the Xbox App and then install Forza Horizon 5 from Gamepass Xbox App on to your PC/Laptop as all your save data is now stored somewhere on your PC/Laptop local storage,

Once done,

Launch Forza Horizon 5 from the Xbox App, not from Cloud Gaming and don't let the data sync as you'll have two different data saves, one is now local on your PC ( your main save data ), the other from the Cloud ( your new fresh start data ), you don't want to overwrite the save data that you accidentally saved to your PC's local storage,



The game needs to load the save data from your local storage on PC to get your save data back,

Once you've loaded FH5 from the Xbox App and you are in game,

You should be able to see everything back after you've done this, then let the game save and you can exit, and then try launch FH5 from Cloud Gaming, let the data sync/ sync to the cloud and you should have everything back, hopefully.

What was the one time you lost save data that really bothered you, like accidentally deleting the wrong save or if a save corrupted etc. For me it was when I got a really high rank on halo reach and my save data randomly deleted and I lost everything.

Surely for Reach all your rank data etc would have been saved against tour profile on Bungie/transferred to Halo Waypoint?

For whatever reason, after reinstalling my profile and launching Forza the synced data from the cloud was not correct. I lost all of my progress in the game (20+ million cr, lvl 110, lots of rare cars). Is there any way to obtain old cloud save data? I
know I have cloud saves as I switch between PC and Xbox. All gone now.
