This "Save Failed" error started happening to me on F1 23, but I thought maybe if I just got the latest F1 24 game that it would be fixed so I went ahead and bought it. Silly me, I can't even get through the first part of F1 24 because it has the same error on the screen.Since having this error, I've replaced my PC's hard drive, reinstalled Windows, reinstalled the game several times on different hard drives, changed network and firewall settings as described in other posts, but nothing seems to work. I get the "Save Failed" error every time I open the game- no matter how many times I Retry it never Saves, and I can't play the game.

Hey there, The save game issues are currently being investigated and the team is aware of it. I will keep you updated as soon as I have more information. -Groguet

Yep, this is a sure case of silly you. Why on earth would you have a bug in a game and "just expect it to be fixed"?Probable case of OneDrive.Codemasters / EA - move the file location to one under control of the gaming platform, not the OS?

Any updates to this?I have followed all the forums/reddit threads that say to turn off OneDrive, allow through firewall, sacrifice a goat, buy a new PC with an NVDIA 10,000 graphics card, I have performed a rain dance, and still I get the same error.No other game does this, just this one.

I have the same game save issue, when the coding team cannot even get the basics of game saves right then what hope do we have.

I refunded the EA Store version of F1 24 for PC and bought F1 24 on Steam instead.I didn't want to do this originally because of my experience with F1 23. On F1 23 Steam version, EA eventually discontinued its ability for F1 23 Steam to connect to EA services, so I just got a spinning wheel any time I started the game- I could not play the Steam version of F1 23 at all. I bought the EA Store version of F1 23 after that, and I was able to connect to EA services no problem with the EA Store version.So I thought the EA Store was the better option to buy an EA game that needs to connect to EA services- how silly of me.Since Steam has its own built-in cloud save functionality, the game seems to work just fine on Steam. I can connect to EA services and save the game on the Steam version of F1 24. It works so far anyway.We'll see how long that lasts- once F1 25 comes out, who knows how long EA will continue to support F1 24 on Steam.

Hey there,

I understand this is a frustrating situation. However, I am afraid I don't have any updates on this. The team keeps investigating the issue, and as soon as I have more details I'll share them with you.

Has this even been looked at? I last played f1 22 on xbox a few years back and it was buggy, recently bought f1 24 for EA and im getting the save failed error on my first boot?!?!?!?! Absolutely shocking, why should i play the game knowing that as soon as i close the game, all my progress is gone? Ive reinstalled both EA and the game itself, running EA as administrator, allowing it to override the firewall, and absolutely nothing has shown even a glimpse of it working. My initial thought was since this is my first time having f1 on PC that it should be relatively smooth-sailing, silly me. Genuinely fills me with anger, EA charging stupid prices for a game that cant even load, and then to top it off, no acknowledgment of our queries and issues regarding the games bugs!!!! Livid
