A WAY OUT LOST PROGRESS

I have had many problems with the game "A way Out" now this is topping the cake.  After deciding to give it another go and buying it AGAIN, we played for over 6 hours all up only to come back just now and all of our progress has been lost.  This can not be acceptable to ANYONE and I am getting really fed up with the constant BUGs.  I have XBOX, Steam and EA subscriptions and still can not get any peace of mind.  Sorry about the rant but at my ripe age (well over 60), my patience is thin.  If any one of you technical guru's has a quick answer it would be appreciated`.  My wife and I are wanting to plau tonight and i do not really want to start again just to have this happen again.  Thank you

    Hi.  Yes of course.  I am so sorry as I thought I had put this info in.  It is a new ROG ISUS high powered gaming laptop PC.  Because we wanted to play the other day, we started back at the sdtart but I would love to know what happened as my wife was not happy to say the least so if it happens again, i may be asble to solve it.  This may be helpful informartion as well.  As I have the 3 subscriptions, I tried booting up the game from all 3 sites to see if this made a difference and it did not.  The EA site, showed and still does show the game play hours correctly but as mentioned, the game needed to start from the start again. Also, when I start the game, for some reason it opens 2 games and I ALT TAB to shut down the other copy although I do not need too as we can still play one copy leaving the other copy sitting in the background.  I think the problem "smells" like it has (had) something to do with the 2 copies being openned although as mentioned, I could not get any copy reflecting our game play nop matter which of the 3 apps I started from.  Although I have spent money on games (F1.22 and Wreckfeast) where I purchased from the XBOX app, I am happy to end XBOX subscription and just have EA and STEAM if you think this will help.  Thank yopu very much for taking the time to read this long waffle let alone help us.  Kindest regards Darren.

    Hi @ernie62 

    Thanks for confirming and providing the additional details!

    Having the game launch twice might be causing a save issue, Can you confirm if the game is installed on both clients (Steam and EA App) as this could result in a confliction and we would want to uninstall all but one of the copies. 

    • To note the Xbox client may show A way out installed, but this uses the EA app to install and run games so it should show installed (in the Xbox and EA app) if you install via PC Game Pass. 

    Thanks!
