    Save Sync on Forza Horizon 5 between 2 PC's


    Sequence of events:

    1. Started playing FH5 on PC
    2. Installed and continued playing on laptop
      1. Laptop downloaded my progress from PC when I first launched and I continued from where I left off
    3. Went back to PC, but save state was still same as back in step 1, laptop progress had not synced
    4. Went back to laptop and launched game - game then asked me if the cloud data was correct or if local data was - I told it local data was as that was the most recent
    5. Tried playing a bit more on laptop and quitting to allow it to upload the latest save
    6. Went back to PC - PC is still in the oldest state and laptop data has not synced
    7. Tried completely uninstalling and deleting save data from PC
      1. Upon re-installing and launching the game, the save data re-downloaded from the cloud and was the OLD data yet again
    So now, the latest save is on the laptop and nowhere else.

    I have tried manually cloning the save folder location from the laptop to the PC, but it tells me that the profile is broken when launching on the PC and then re-downloads the old save data from the cloud.

    How can I force the laptop save data up to the cloud and tell the game that this is the latest it should be using?

    Thanks!

    Save Sync on Forza Horizon 5 between 2 PC's

    OK that was a bit of a fiddle but I now have open NAT on PC:

    And on the laptop:

    I have also completely wiped the PC and re-installed Windows 11. So now to test to see if it picks up my latest save...

    So I have loaded the game on the laptop, driven around a bit and bought a new car, then quit to desktop. Now to wait 20 minutes to see if the PC has picked up the save...

    20 minutes later...

    Launching game on PC - remember, this PC has never launched Forza Horizon 5 because this is a completely fresh install (not an upgrade, I formatted the drive and installed Windows 11 from scratch, so there is no local save on this machine right now), so let's see what happens...

    OK it's syncing data with the cloud:

    Looking promising on the load screen:

    YES! It has picked up the latest save from the laptop! This is the car that I bought before quitting to desktop on the laptop earlier.

    So, we are now in sync! Let's see if it stays that way! More testing to go, but thank you for your help!

    OK, a bit more complicated than you posted, but that's my fault XD

    So, I have Hyper-V enabled on my machine and a virtual switch which was routing the host network. That was problem 1.

    Problem 2 was that I had also used this machine for DirectAccess testing a while back, and had actually disabled Teredo / IPv6 and never re-enabled them.

    I had no idea the Xbox services used Teredo.

    So, I undid all of that, and now:

    We are a bit closer. I will fix NAT on the router and then test again.

    It's worth noting, that I'm not convinced that this will fix the issue, as the PC is able to upload and download save states, it's the laptop that needs to UPLOAD it's save state, and that isn't working - but I'm happy to go through these motions to rule it out.

    Will sort NAT on both machines and get back to you :)

    Yes, usually Forza Horizon games use Teredo and NAT type is best to have it as open for multiplayer/online games

    You can check this article for more information:

    "Select games like Forza Horizon 3 and 4 use Teredo IPsec connections for multiplayer gaming on the Xbox network."

    Hi Josef,

    Thanks for your reply.

    On the second play session on the laptop, I made sure I left the laptop for 20 minutes to allow sync to complete before attempting to launch again on the PC, but this did not help.

    I have now tried this 3 times and the latest save data from the laptop is still not syncing to the cloud - the PC remains on the old version.

    Thanks,

    Rich

    Hi, thanks for sharing the extra info
    Opening the ports is a bit more easy.

    And maybe you're right, but it's important to cover all the possibilities first
    Hopefully opening the NAT would do the trick
