Since the update I have not been able to get online
lost my save file on Xbox. Before the update it was
running fine
Okay, guys, I stumbled on a way to fix it. I can't really be sure if it'll work for everyone, but, it worked for me and am able to play online again. [PC player btw]
So, here's the thing.
1/ Copy your savegame (docs>unbound>savegame>savegame, I only took that), if you care for that save file.
2/ Now, delete the savegame file ( Perma delete-> shift+del, just incase, since you'll have the backup, if you care for it i.e., I left the banners and wraps as is).
3/ Start the game, it'll ask you about accepting terms and stuff as it'd normally ask you like it's a fresh game.
4/ That fixed online for me, and since online progress is linked cloud with your game acc, the progress is all there, I can go in and play without any issues. Note, that, I haven't went in storymode or tried to get back my save for it, or replay it again, cus I wont be bothered to as who knows whether it'll * it all up again. It might be something because of storymode, or it's just the corrupted save file, I've no idea on it.
5/ Hope this helps you and can get back online again :'v
But wait, do you ever put back the save file again or not? Because if you delete the save file your online progress does go out with it, I've seen it happen to other people, I wouldn't like it to happen to me since I have all the Speedpass content on my save
No, I didn't put back my save file, nor planning to. If deleting the save file was the issue, then I doubt putting it back will keep things as is, tho it's worth a try, but I don't wanna risk out on a completely block off next time.
As for the online progress, just like I said previously. I doubt it'd be linked with a local directory, if they did it like that, you could just get a save file of someone else and have all he had in online without doing anything.
What you said about other people's progress going out with it, I can't say anything on that. My online progress wasn't affected a bit, all my lvls, current speedpass progress is all there (except my model and banner), but, from what I know of, I can say this that online content is always synced with your game account (email, steam, or whatever you've used to log in for). Otherwise you would just be able to abuse this with having multiple accounts with same progress and cars or something.
If it's concerning, keep a backup of your save file in a different location. And then try those steps. If as you said that online progress goes off with it (which I doubt shouldn't be happening), you could just replace back your save file from the different directory where you stored it.
For having Speedpass, you make purchases through your email or the account which is bind to the game, so those transactions will be bound with your account, and that info would be stored in servers, the seller, and you the buyer ofc with a receipt.
Well, give it a try. I'll try the save file thing and update on it when I get time. Or, you if you are trying out and still have the online progress, then can tell bout it too. (Does the story progression matter anways since most of the new content is in online).I won't be editing the previous one cus thats too big to read.
I tried changing the save file, but sadly I can't help you with that now. If you've read the previous msgs here, you'd see one of mine where I said that I wasnt able to play the game or it wasn't just launching for me. That's what happened when I replaced my save file and the game didn't launch. Tho I'll still try out and see if I get any results from it.
It just occurred to me after your mention on progress. I had kept everything I had, the levels, progress, cars, as I mentioned before, but, I didn't seem to have my bank. Back to the start of it with 200k. And also, had to select a starter car again, but, my other cars were still there. As for the cars part, idk what to say, since the cars that I owned, were a few, Audi S5 (idk where or when I had got it), R8 from the pass, and F1 from dlc. As for the starter car, I choose the gtr V-spec. That's all I've.
I won't be able to clarify more on this part sadly since I didnt had enough progress in online as I wasn't able to play it. The only thing I can say now is that I'm able to play online back.
Ima just recommend to keep the save file with you properly. Or if there's someone who could try this and share their results.
!!! [EDIT]
I was able to start the game with my save file which had my progress. Apparently, wasn't able to play online. I tried my recent different saves where online worked, of which, the new parts or upgrades that I had done to my starter vehicle were only with the save file with which I was playing, but not with the one from yesterday. So, whether it's just this, or it affects everything, I can't be sure of it now, unless someone else actually tries and tells us about it. KEEP YOUR SAVE FILE PROPERLY.
