Literally lost 207M cr, was at 2 stars level (not that level matters but i guess i'll drop it along with the other stuff), had all the cars in the game except for 4 of the 8 pre-order cars (i had 2 pre-order porsches though, i used to have a 5th pre-order car but i was stupid enough to sell it after buying it early in the game, had no clue it was that rare, and that was the aston martin, was only missing the unreleased ford, the camaro and the aston which i previously owned and sold). Played the game just fine last week, updated it this week, decided to play it and voilá, game was not launching, reinstalled (after microsoft store warning me of potential file corruption in the game files), managed to play for 45 minutes or so, i did the online playgrounds championship for the new car, as soon as i finished that event with a win, game instantly closes (as i was receiving my rewards) and voilá for the second time. Except this time it was game over for me.
Seems like i have literally hit the very limits of this game when it comes to tunes, paints, cars, money, auctions. All of this stuff in excess increases the odds of your save getting corrupted in the end. I was around in the 740 cars mark, and the limit is 750, i did hit the limits a few times but after selling a bunch of rare dupes from quick snipes in the auction, i went down to 720 cars, this was after the auction house update, the new cars have slowly put me back to the limit (last week i was at 737 cars, so this week was most likely at 740 or so).
So yeah... time to call it quits on the forza games. This issue has been around since the start of this generation and seems to impact mostly/majorly forza games when it comes to saves, all the other exclusives have no issues at least from the quick searches i have done. State of decay 2 and GoW4 do not report corrupted save files but do instead report corrupt game files after updates, which was the initial issue for me aswell. And it bothers me to see that the unique official solution to this problem is indeed doing a reset on your progress. What's the point of playing a game online when all of a sudden you could be left naked and alone in the dark? I would rather invest my time and money playing other games, most importantly my backlog.
tl;dr
/feels good loosing everything you worked for the past year in that one game you play regularly
EDIT:
I'm going to throw in a tip that might help forza gamers on PC, BACKUP your saves manually once in a while, i have read a topic from late 2018 that you can force upload your local saved file into the cloud if you launch the game while having no internet (basically play offline), then connecting to the internet after you are in the game with the save file loaded, if you do this, the game will try to sync your local save file with the cloud and is likely to overwrite whatever is in the cloud with your local save file, meaning you can avoid corruption of your saved files in the cloud if you backup once in a while, i learnt this too late, but i might aswell give a heads up so that people can at least prevent it. BACKUP YOUR SAVES ON PC NOW!
This is the path you need to use to get to the save for FH4: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.SunriseBaseGame_8wekyb3d8bbwe\SystemAppData\wgs , if you play any other forza game, try googling for the directory of the specific forza title on pc, it should be similiar to this one. Once you are in that directory, backup the wgs folder by making a copy and archiving it somewhere else that is safe.
Sadly, people on xbox one can't backup saved files since you can only delete saved files in your xbox, there is no move or copy option as microsoft as prevented that from being done.
