    Xbox one offline save data issue


    Hello everyone! I was recently having problems with my internet connection and decided to play my games offline (Battlefield, COD, Dead Rising, etc), when i noticed that since I had no access to the internet or the cloud I could not find my game progress.
    So NO internet means we don't get to play our games offline? Anyone else having the same problem ? Is this on the todo list of MS "we gonna fix this" or what? I think its a bummer. I LOVE gaming... but the fact that i have to always have internet connection
    to play even the offline story modes is kind of very ANNOYING... Any thoughts? News? anything? Let me know =)

    :)

    Offline Game Saves Now Hidden Behind the Gold Paywall?

    I have no idea what it could have been. What was the issue exactly? I tried resuming while both connected to online, and offline. And again, the game was retrieving data for my online and offline stats and unlocks... and my back up save data on my local drive was intact. I'm not insinuating anything. This is a real live account that happened about a week ago and I have no clue why.

    Offline Save Data..

    Hi, sorry for the very late reply I didn't even realise anyone had commented!

    You would think so but when I loaded the game it just said syncing data, I thought oh good it will be syncing the most upto date data on the hard drive to the cloud, but it did the opposite and updated the HDD data to what was on the cloud!

    Could be something to do with turning it off but I would have thought it had something to keep the time like a battery on the motherboard?

    I tried contacting Xbox Support about it and was told by the guy that this was normal and you can't save data when playing offline without it being lost when you connect back to the internet. I find this very hard to believe, surely Microsoft wouldn't be
    that stupid? When they reversed the always online malarkey it should stop an issue like this?

    Cheers

    Forza Horizon 4 cloud saving error

    In the case the save data on the cloud its the last one that you go online. If you play offline the last save data will be not available.

    can I limit downloads on Xbox?

    Offline Save Data..

    Thanks for looking into that buddy I'll give it a go next time I play offline. I actually did play offline yesterday but tethered the Xbox to my iPhone, which I'm hoping allowed the game to be saved to the cloud, I'll soon find out though. Thanks again.

    I think the support agent was wrong.

    My guess is it might be a time issue.

    As the xbox was originally designed to be online only i'm guessing it may not have an internal battery to keep time.

    If that is the case the offline saves on your hard drive would have appeared older than the ones in the cloud causing them to be overwritten.

    I haven't tested this myself so don't know if there is an internal battery or not.

    But I know the 360 never had one and it would cause problems with some games loading the wrong saves because the newer offline saves appeared older than the ones made online.

    Just did some testing.

    I disconnected the power for an hour as well as disconnecting the Ethernet cable so it can't connect to the internet.

    Then reconnected the power and switched on.

    The system time is now 17:01 and the date is 25 May 2013

    So all your offline saves would have had this date which is why they were replaced by the saves in the cloud

    Next time you want to use the console offline it is essential that you go into the settings app then select system then make sure the time and date is correct. Otherwise when you reconnect the cloud saves will overwrite the offline saves because they will
    be dated 25 May 2013
