Save Failed (PC)

Product: F1 23
Platform:PC
Please specify your platform model. PC
Summarize your bug The autosave feature tries to save but after a while an error pops up saying "Save Failed".
What is your 16 digit Report Code? PPHD-KDVR-XMBV-BHDE
Can you please provide the name of your current internet service provider? Turkcell Superonline
Which area is the bug/glitch in? Single Player
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? It happened on its own when I first started the game, I've had this bug in F1 22 as well.
What happens when the bug occurs? A pop up named "Save Failed" appears, it still says Save Failed why I hit retry. When I press Continue Without Saving and try to re-enable Autosave the problem appears again.
What do you expect to see? For the Saving to be successful.

I have tried adding the game folder and exe to the exclusions tab in Windows Defender,

I have checked my account name to see if it contains any non-latin characters (it doesn't),

I have deleted the save folder and tried repairing the game but nothing worked.

PS: I had the exact issue with F1 22.

    Hey,

    I've fixed the issue, not sure if it's momentarily but I'm not having the Save Failed pop ups when saving stuff.

    My workaround was;

    1. Download the game on a separate PC, in my case my laptop.

    2. Open, then close the game. Copy the save file and send it to my main PC.

    3. Open the save file on my main PC, replace it with the *broken* one.

    4. Viola.

    This is the working save file if you want to run a diagnosis on it.

    I'll report back if the issue reappears.

  • Has auto save issue been resolved yet on the PC?. My game worked for a day or so, but stopped saving ever since. 

    I looked at up coming patches and it seems this issue has fallen off the radar.

    Looks like my $115 dollars to play F1 2023 was a waste of money since never was able to save the game. Thankyou EA for taking my money and never fixing the issue.
