    Save games not working?


    I have been experiencing an issue recently with saves for arcade games not loading whatsoever, it has happened with at least two of my games and is very frustrating as I have lost a lot of progress and I don't really have the time or patience to do again.
    It seems to only happen to games that i don't play for a few weeks or that I have re-downloaded after a longer period of time. I have tried copying the saves to different storage devices and have also tried clearing my system cache, neither of which helped
    with my situation as the saves still do not read. Is there any solution for this or will I just have to start again?

    :)

    game will not save

    Sorry to hear it. Can you please try holding the power button on the console for 10 seconds until it shuts down to see if that helps?

  4. Save games not working?

    Hello There Spakon This problem rarely happens. When you try to play a saved game file that’s corrupted, you may get an error message depending on how the game saves corrupted files. Some games just filter out corrupted content, but
    other games display an error message.
    Solutions

    To resolve this issue, try the following solutions:

    Solution 1: Delete the corrupted game file

    If the saved game file is corrupted, delete it. Here's how.

    Note You cannot recover a corrupted saved game file. To protect other content, you must delete the corrupted file.

      1. Determine if the saved game is corrupted. To do this, follow these steps:
      1. Select settings, System, and then Storage.
      2. Select the storage location, and then press the A button.
      3. Select Games and Apps, and then press the A button.
      4. Select the game, and then press the A button.
      5. Select the saved game, and then press the A button.
    Note A corrupted saved game file is marked with a yellow exclamation mark.

    1. If the saved game file is corrupted, delete the corrupted file. To do this, select Delete.
    Solution 2: Request a repair

    It could also be signs of your Xbox 360 hard drive starting to Turn faulty. Try use another Xbox 360 hard drive, If the issue is not
    resolved, your console may need to be repaired. Start the repair process.

    Save game not working

    I just got the game yesterday and played it a while. I'll find out soon enough if it saved. Did you go to your saved slot?

    i know this is an old thread but this also happened to me. I just purchased the game, played a nice chunk of it, just loaded up the game to be put back to the beginning. Really annoyed.

    Did you play through the first garrison mission? I was unable to save or load anything until after I finished the first Garrison mission and had just begun the first resulting rescue mission.

    Save game not working

    Has there actually been a solution to this yet?? I have searched every forum and every corner of the internet, there are SO many threads like this but NO answers. OP have you given up or did you somehow figure it out? I paid for this game so I want to actually
    play it. . Have you also noticed that any manual saves you make are showing as "LOCKED" in the load menu?
