Save-Game from Old-PC to New-PC Forza Horizon 4

Hello!

This question "applies to PC gaming", so I assume you're asking about the PC version of Forza.

If your game save is corrupted, perhaps you can try and retrieve an old save backup from the cloud. To do it, open your PC's settings, go to apps, search for Forza Horizon 4, select "advanced options", and then click on "Reset". This will clear your local
saved data without deleting your game. Next time you start the game, it will retrieve the last save file updated to the cloud.

Hope I helped!

Hello Jan E, my name is Vanessa, and I would be happy to help.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble recovering your saved data in Forza Horizon 4.

There are a few things you can try to fix this issue.

First, make sure you're signed in to the same Microsoft account on your new PC as you were using on your old PC. To do this, open the Settings app on your new PC and go to "Account". If your Microsoft account is not the same, you can change it by clicking "Change account".

If you're signed in to the same Microsoft account, you may need to manually sync your game data. To do this, open the Forza Horizon 4 app and go to "Options". Then, select "Account" and click "Sync game data".

If you've tried all of the above and you're still having problems, you can try the following:

Restart your new PC.
Uninstall and reinstall Forza Horizon 4.
As an additional step, verify and ensure that your new PC meets the minimum system requirements for Forza Horizon 4.

Check that your new PC has enough available storage space to install Forza Horizon 4 and its DLC.

I hope this helps.

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.

i lost my progress after sync console with cloud, so i think new game and new progress now at cloud. On my PC i have game with old progress, can i load progress from PC to cloud , not from cloud to pc. How to find local savings at PC ?

The local Forza Horizon 4 save games are located here:

C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.SunriseBaseGame_8wekyb3d8bbwe\SystemAppData

There should be a wgs folder in there which is the save folder.

Not entirely sure how to get the local copy synced to the cloud without the cloud over-riding the local copy though...way beyond my ability to understand

Game is PC Forza Horizon 4
