Mechwarrior 5: saved games lost?

Hello Steve S, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with your saved games in Mechwarrior 5 on Xbox. Losing saved game data can be frustrating, but there are a few troubleshooting steps you can try to potentially recover or resync your saves:

Check cloud save synchronization: Ensure that your Xbox console is connected to the internet and that your Xbox Live account is properly signed in. Mechwarrior 5 supports cloud saves, so your saved games should be synced to the cloud. To confirm this, follow these steps:

a. Open the Xbox Guide by pressing the Xbox button on your controller.
b. Navigate to the "Profile & system" tab.
c. Select "Settings" and then "Preferences."
d. Under "Online safety & family," select "Xbox Live privacy."
e. Make sure that "Share across devices" is set to "Allow."

If cloud save synchronization is enabled, your saved games should be available on any Xbox console you sign in to with your Xbox Live account.

Check available storage space: Ensure that you have sufficient storage space on your Xbox console. If the storage is nearly full, it may prevent the game from properly saving or loading your progress. Go to Settings > System > Storage to check the available space. If needed, delete unnecessary games or content to free up space.

Restart your console: Sometimes, a simple restart can help resolve minor issues. Turn off your Xbox console, unplug the power cord from the back, wait for a few seconds, then plug it back in and turn it on again. Launch Mechwarrior 5 and check if your saved games are now available.

Check for game updates: Make sure that Mechwarrior 5 is up to date with the latest patches and updates. Developers often release updates to address issues and improve game performance. Check for any available updates and install them if necessary.

I hope this helps.
Best regards.

Hi David,

thank you for the prompt and informative reply.

I checked all the settings/free space and they are as you describe, I also unplugged and restarted the console several times (awaiting longer each time). Sadly my saved games are still missing

Its a shame as I like(d) the game but if you lose all the effort then it doesnt seem worth buying the next campaigns (which I would have done).

I wonder if there is anything else I can try?

Steve

Mechwarrior 5 will not play on my Xbox ONEX

Thanks for the reply. I have checked and tried this but still not working. Other games work but not Mechwarrior 5

Isn't MEchWarrior Online a F2P game? If it is....my ingnorance says I'm still waiting on a true MechWarrior game.

Fun Fact: MechWarrior is the true owner of the "MW" abbreviation, HA! Everytime I see someone saying MW2 for COD I think MechWarrior.
