    The save system is broken. You can lose progress frequently. Advise others not to buy.


    People considering buying this game need to be aware of the potential game breaking save bug.

    I have experienced this frustrating problem several during my time with the game, in short
    you cannot be confident that any progress you are making is being saved. For example yesterday I loaded up the game to find that I had lost over 1 weeks’ worth of progress. I had finished the Cop Career and was up to level 22 and had a racer
    level of 11. (Check my profile to see these date stamped within the last few days). After reloading this morning I am now level 11 cop and 5 racer.

    There is now a 36 page thread on the ea forums of users reporting this issue but nothing has been done to address this issue. It is shameful that this game is so broken and no action has been taken. I can only think that there are
    not enough people who purchased the game and ea, ghost or criterion believe they can ignore the problem.

    I would recommend that all Xbox One users avoid this game. I have contacted ea directly to demand a refund due to what I believe is a defective product and I would encourage all owners of this game to do the same.

    I thought I had overcome the issue by always making sure my game was saved and was synched with Orgin. I did this by following the process below which worked for 2 weeks until yesterday.

    Before starting a session I would make sure I was always in a public game and was signed into the Origin Servers. Before closing the game down I entered a hideout/command post, opened the Origin terms and conditions and checked on the mobile app that
    my online progress matched what it said onscreen. I then left the hideout/command post and re-entered and then left again ensuring at all times that I saw the spinning wheel indicating that the game had saved.

    My belief is that the issue is being caused between problems with reconciling the cloud save with a local save file. The system seems to lack the basic feature of ensuring that the most recent file is always used and instead of warning you that there
    may be a problem just overwrites you're progress with what it determines must be the real file. The root of the problem could possibly be a hangover from the "Always online" features the xbox one was originally supposed to have. I also suspect the issue
    occurs where multiple profiles may end up signed into your xbox at once as I noticed that the last two occurrence followed immediately after my xbox one recognised my son via Kinect while I was playing.

    This is a good game but the lack of any ea action to address this problem is unforgiveable in my opinion and I don't plan to buy any more NFS games in the future as a result of my experience with this.

    recovered gamertag, lost achievements

    alright.. so i decided to delete my save game. i went into system settings, storage devices and deleted my halo savegame.

    i start the game and all my progress is still there. went back into system settings - the save game has returned.

    can anyone advise on how to get rid of it? i've tried deleting cache too

    Go From GamePass To Owning the game

    You wont lose the progress as long as the game data remains installed. Once you buy the game it will just automatically continue with your current save progress.

    Save Game Gone (Dead Rising 3)

    This is scary. This is happening with multiple titles. There is something serious going on here. Im guessing it is a cloud server issue. Microsoft is hopefully going to address these save game issues RAPIDLY. Simple solution... give the consumer control
    over storage again. Auto save games to the cloud all you want, but give me the option to save it local as well if I choose.

    Link to an article released BEFORE these issues were a reality:

    What You Playing This Weekend? (7 - 9 February 2020)

    I think it is time I played some Ori and the Blind Forest
    I did. and I beat it. some issues with it (like the save system, frequent frustration at losing progress, consistency of damage versus instant death and being a bit visually muddled at times), but overall I think it was really good. It gets much better as
    you learn the game and the story is both heartwarming and heartbreaking

    Had enough - thanks for ruining an otherwise perfect game...(SPOILERS)

    Are you waiting until you see "Progress Saving" flash on the top of the screen? If you save without seeing that, you'll go back to the last "Progress Saving" part. Found that out the hard way. I only hit "save and quit" if I see P S at the top, otherwise
    I always lose about ten minutes or so. Not a fan of the save system either.
