Forza Horizon 6 Players Face Save Data Woes
Forza Horizon 6 has captivated players with its expansive world, featuring over 600 collectible cars and weekly live-service updates. Many enthusiasts have already invested significant time into the game, with some logging upwards of 50 hours as they master the art of Touge racing. However, a troubling bug has emerged, threatening to erase all that progress in an instant.
A growing number of players have reported losing their saved game data, leaving them with a blank slate. A quick glance at various Forza-related Reddit threads reveals a chorus of frustrated voices sharing their experiences. The root cause of this issue remains elusive, with speculation pointing to multiple factors at play.
Xbox players have noted that their progress tends to vanish when utilizing the Quick Resume feature. In contrast, PC users are encountering problems with cloud saves via the Xbox App, alongside game crashes that lead to data loss. Some players suspect that certain vehicles may be linked to these issues, particularly when modified or painted. The list of potentially problematic cars includes:
- 2003 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning
- 1993 Schuppan 962CR
- 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air
- 1994 Ferrari F355 Berlinetta
- 1988 Lamborghini Countach LP5000QV
- 2019 Porsche #70 Motorsport 945
- 2017 Ford M-Sport Fiesta RS
- 2020 Wuling Sunshine S Forza Edition (notably one of the best for drag racing)
While encountering these issues is not guaranteed, caution is advised. Players are encouraged to avoid the aforementioned vehicles for the time being. Console users should also consider disabling the Quick Resume feature to mitigate risks. For those on PC, regular backups of save files are essential; these can typically be found in C:XboxGamesGameSaves/pgs. Simply copying the file to a secure location can provide peace of mind.
In the event of data loss, players can reach out to Forza Support to restore their inventory, including cars, currency, and Wheel Spins. However, they will still need to revisit the campaign and hunt for collectibles anew, adding to the frustration of an already challenging situation.
