Save corrupted - A925C8C5-A2E25EEF-652B47E9

Hi EA/Codemasters.

Hope your team can find the cause of the problem soon, I can cooperate with you to do testing. I love this game, but it's very frustrating when you lose all your work and progress. However, any help from you would be nice. Corrupted save appears randomly and it is difficult to find what is causing it. As I wrote above, restarting the route, changing options during the game or quit the championship may cause a message to appear. I never finished my own championship consisting of 16 countries and 12 stages, because after a few rounds (this time after the seventh country) I receive a message about a corrupted save. I think this happens when autosave starts. Sometimes something goes wrong and the save file becomes permanently corrupted. For now, this only happens in quick play solo mode, where I play most often with my championship template and own livery. I've never had a problem in clubs or multiplayer mode. I suspect something with the synchronization or the method of saving data. This is the only game where the save file gets corrupted. The strange thing is that after deleting all save files from the WRC folder in my documents, when I turn on the game, the data is restored. Maybe I should back up all my files every few days and restore them if they get corrupted? Or it requires a thorough analysis by you and possibly changing the way you save files so as not to lose any work and progress? Looking for the reason, I found the F1 23 forum where people also had problems with file corruption. Maybe this problem is global, some identical bug in the application causing data corruption. During this time, there was no failure in my internet or electricity connection. 

=====================================================================================

Today 22.01.2024 i created again championschip template with 16 countries and 12 track. I rode 5 countries without any problem. In 6 country (Sardegna) i wanted to leave championship in mid stage. I clicked Quit, then a window with the save selection appeared, and after cklick save I received my favorite message in the game again 

CORRUPTED SAVE: A925C8C5-A2E25EEF-652B47E9.

This time I didn't click retry but I selected cancel and moved on to the next route. Then I changed something in the menu settings, I got out of the championship and when window with the save selection appeared I managed to save the game. I then checked whether my test livery remained in the editor or whether it was cleared as before. IT WORKED!!!!! My livery is still visible and championship templates have not disappeared.

@EA_Groguet if this is not lucky chance, the solution to the problem is to never click retry when the error message appears. You can add this info to the solutions https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Warning-Quick-Play-Progress-amp-Losing-Save-Data/m-p/13248297#M1213

However, this is a serious bug and should be prioritized and resolved in future updates. Next time if this error appears, I will try not to click retry again (just cancel). We'll see if this option also works or it was just a lucky coincidence this time.
