    Called ea about the same issue. And there's nothing they can do even though I've lost 2 nights worth of progress (12 hours worth)

    Are they planning on making an update with an option to save?

    I lost about 12 hours of time on the game over 4 days. After restarting my PS4 after an issue with another game, I tried to re-enter NFS Payback, and entered at the start scene of the game. Really annoying.

    Lost over 10 hours of gameplay-twice! hours on support with EA only to be disconnected or hung up on. top notch trash

  • Have all of you experienced this problem on PS4? If yes, that's at least a good sign that we can narrow it down to just one platform.

    Haven't seen this issue (yet) on Xbox One. We're dealing with another problem, the game freezes when we try to play online :/

    Game =/= polished

    Also, mine had nothing to do with any power outage or power being cut. I closed game out both times only to start back up at the first mission with all progress lost.

    Same here! I played for the 1st time the day before for around 3 hours, quit & backed up the save. This morning I get on, play for over 12 hours, getting to rep 17, finding many collectibles, knocking out 3 leagues, grinding for levelling up cars, etc. so I'm tired & I close the game, go to back up saves to PS+, along w/a usb stick & saw that the saves on the cloud & usb were both the same in timestamps! SO I cancel, load into game only to see that the game has set me back to one of the early missions, so I check my money, it's $90k and should be $700,000. Both of my derelict cars are gone, as several others that I had up over 200 level. I submitted a "phone me" support ticket & while they did call almost immediately, he advised me they are aware of the progress save problems & that they're "looking into it as we speak", but other than that, we're basically SoL. Apparently the game does not save while playing, only on closing or just what kind of design is this? Support rep also advised if I try to start over by deleting the game saves that this will disrupt normal shipments, along with other disappointments. Think I'll just save my frustration & pass on this mess. Looks like every 5th post on Payback forums involve losing progress. Another franchise-damaging disappointment for NFS. Sad.
  • I lost 2 months progress, $2.1M in cash, 25 cars, 100+ hours in customizations, almost finished finding all hidden goodies and completed all derelicts SMH  it's making me  start over, BUT MY TROPHIES STILL SHOW, WTF, has anyone found a way to restore progress ?????
