Progress not saving

Getting seriously fed up with Need for Speed Rivals. It's pot luck whether my progress will have saved when I return to the game. I've repeatedly had to play the same missions time and time again to the point I just can't be bothered anymore. Speaking to someone on their chat function was a waste of time, they directed me here

    Before I begin I have the xb1 version. Is someone with the other versions could test this as well for me please? This method worked 100% of the time for me no matter how I tried getting it NOT to save to get it tested, and my friend.

    To save, switch factions.

    That's it! In your hideout or outpost(depending on your current faction) just switch careers!

    Test method(only consistant factor): gain a level, switch careers, then start a different game then return to nfs.

    I always did random stuff as try offline, or not signed in to live but connected, or even unplugging system as randomization factors. Always had above consistant factor.

    I would raise one level, switch factions and tbhen switch back. This always got it to save. The usual suspect for loosing my data was switching ames(always deleted) and turnin the system off. 21/21 levels were kept using the above method

    As stated worked for me 100% of the time for me and my friend, but someone has stated it didn't work. Still going from 0% to100%, were on the right track. Hopefully we can figure out all variables, and ill try testing any other conditions I can think of.



    Keep not I have the xb1 version and on private session. Maybe that helps.

    If others could try different thingss but always switching factions maybe we can narrow it down. Ivetold ea so hopefully they'll test it out as well.


    I finally got mine to ave 100%, so let's try getting everything solved so we can keep out data.

    Note: edited to make more clear.

    I have been let level 21 two or three dozen times turn the system back on I hear the screeching noise and I lost all my data must be back to previous levels of 10, 5, whatever it's it's really crazy aggravating and what not. Thank you for your post I will give it a try maybe if I change factions like you say from cop the racer maybe that will solve it

    That has also been my issue. Every time this game signs into the EA servers I get a horrible backfeed ping or some such and lose levels

    Apparently it is a corrupted cloud save that is causing these issues (which explains why not everyone who owns the game gets the glitch). For those that are still having issues try following these steps to make a new cloud save. I've done them and been playing for a week now without any losses in rank. (And I've been quitting the game out completely each time I'm done playing)

    Step 1: Uninstall the game and reinstall to 100% WITHOUT going into game. (This is done by going into "My games and apps", highlighting NFS: Rivals and clicking the start/menu button on controller and choosing "uninstall", then choose "install disc" to reinstall) REMEMBER: wait till game is 100% installed
    Step 2: Turn off Xbox One completely (not quick restart) or unplug the console to make sure
    Step 3: Unplug / switch off your router, making sure your Xbox has no access to internet now. (Disconnect wireless from Xbox network settings if you don't have access to your router)
    Step 4: Turn on console
    Step 5: Insert disc or select NFS Rivals ensuring it is a fresh load-up (not resumed)
    Step 6: Play Racer and Cop Career offline for 2 levels
    Step 7: Return to hideout / command post (this will create a save file on your Xbox rather than in the cloud and then this save file will overwrite your corrupted cloud file when we reconnect Xbox to internet)
    Step 8: Close the game and Quit. Load different game or take out game disc to make sure NFS is fully shutdown
    Step 9: Re-insert NFS Rivals disc and load up again to check progress has saved
    Step 10: Turn Xbox completely off and reconnect router/internet
    Step 11: Switch console on and load NFS back up and sign into Origin
    Step 12: Enjoy the game and always make sure to enter hideout/command post before exiting game or switching to different game

    Basically in short 

       

    Step 1 - Bring democracy to North Korea

    Step 2 - Build a home made rocket craft and travel to mars

    Step 3- Plug your xbox one into a NASA internet grid at the space station

    Step 4- Die, show your xbox to Jesus, resirect, than hard reset the xbox

    Step 5- Bring your xbox one to the peak of the apelachean mountains and perform a voodoo ritual in it's honor

    Step 6- Restart your router 47 times

    Step 7- Tattoo a giant EA logo on your back

    Step 8- Bring your Xbox One to  Selena Gomez concert with backstage passes and have Selena sign the xbox

    Step 9- Invent a Time Machine and travel to the mesizoic era and have a dinosaur lick the xbox

    Step 10- Confess your inner demons and problems to your xbox and try to get it's emotional consulting before proceeding

     After all of this you still have to make sure you enter the command post on a rainy monday while in a green mustand with origin singed in with 25mb down speeds on your internet in october with no other game within 300 yards of your xbox.   

    Or just not play the game ever again....  That's my choice.  🙂

    This game is over 2 years old and there's been no fix/patch/update even though it's a serious flaw in the game that from what I can read has affected a lot of people. If it hasn't been fixed by now I don't think it ever will. If I had known about this issue I wouldn't have bought the game as it's pointless playing it now when I don't know if it will save or not. Utterly ridiculous

    Game is well over 3 years old now and still no fix. What a joke.  I should have never bought it.  EA has gotten lazy and can't even patch their games anymore. It's truly depressing.
