This website can have a name (in orange at upper right) that's different than your Gamertag, even if you use the same Microsoft Account addresse (AKA Windows Live ID) to sign in. If you go to
http://xbox.com and Sign In there, do you see your traditional gamertag name?

Hi there SebastianDoyle! Sorry to hear you're having some profile corruption issues. To start, I can assure you there were no recent or otherwise 'silent' updates regarding this concern! Since neither of us have seen other instances of this, let's for now,
treat it like it's a local issue.



In your first post you mention you received error code 80070003, have you received this code since? This error in short means the path was not found but more importantly indicates the profile will most likely download corrupt (explanation for future reference
as you asked).



Now a few questions, just to make sure I'm up to speed - Have you attempted to

remove the HDD and download straight to the USB to see if you still download a corrupt profile? Have you tried using an alternate USB configured for your console? What were the results when you attempted to load up that game save? Lastly, can I have you
log into your MS account at
accounts.live.com to make sure nothing is blocked with the account itself?



Let us know what you find. Hang in there! Standing by if you have any further questions.

as I said phil, I understand the value of the ambassador program, and I don't knock it - however it does have it's limitations, obviously. And as here, there's a danger of 'suggestions' being mistaken for, for want of a better expression, 'gospel' - for
other users/readers, at least - I'm sure you know what I'm meaning

For general problems, another user's experience or advice is often all that's needed

I can imagine that games that use external save files will be fine, but I'm pretty sure there's an issue somewhere with the recovered profile - and SOMETHING is going to be very awry - possibly more than just my games that use profilesaves. It does appear
to download the full 'history' of the profile - it certainly took longer to recover that last time on the different consolle. However only a tech would be able to tell me if it actually recovers MORE than just the profile file itself (no doubt it also downloads
some marketplace and system/cache files too) but regardless - I've recovered my profile several times over the years, onto several consoles and it's always only been 'slimmed' by a few MB and hasn't been as small as 6MB since about 2007. lol. Certainly has
never shown up as just 40KB!!

I'll load up a profilesaving game and risk it, but I'm still concerned about just what IS missing even if it works - not to mention why does it take X amounts of minutes to download 40KB - it doesn't even take that long to download 6MB even with heavy ms
server traffic.

Something seems to be going on with the profile file/system cos what it downloads doesn't seem to be the same as what it actually stores. I'm suspecting some sort of patch/update, either silent, or serverside that's causing this, but I haven't seen anyone
else experiencing the issue (but then, profile recovery isn't that commonly used I wouldn't imagine)

TECH PLEASE hehe
