Just cause 3 data wiped

Hello, were you prompted to load a saved file?

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today despite this MIIIICHII

Just as a friendly reminder, keep in mind that unexpected shutdowns while you play can lead to data corruption (no matter if it’s a game or an app)
But let’s try to isolate the problem a bit more, for this please tell me:

Are you using Windows 10 or 11?
And what did you tried so far, in that way I can advise you different things

Nothing you can do unless you're on pc.

Hey there Altimatic.

After you started a new game did you save over your previous save? Unfortunately if you saved over that, you would be unable to access it and would need to play through the game again.

I have just had a similar thing happen.

I downloaded the latest console update recently.

Last night I used a second controller to log my wifes gamertag in so we could play Black Ops 3 zombies together. (Her account was on my old xbox one but I upgraded to the elite, as she doesn't play often logging her in hasn't come up yet.)

It logged her in without much hassle. From the zombies lobby screen where it prompted a second player to press A if they wanted to play. Then selected "add new" and logged in with her credentials.

Doing this wiped not just Black Ops 3, but every other save game on my hard drive.

Halfway through Black Ops 3 campaign on Realistic. Wiped.

Fallout 4 level 40 something nearly finished story. Wiped

Just Cause 3, started recently. Wiped

Halo 5 well into the campaign. Wiped

The list goes on.

Thank jeebus this is a new xbox and I haven't played many games on it. But still i'm so p///ed off.

Worse than that not one game would sync with the cloud until hours after when Black Ops 3 finally synced.

It synced the wiped data from my xbox hard drive to the cloud and permanently overwrote my progress on the cloud
