Hey there,
In the past, I requested some save files to help the team with the investigation. We didn't have many files uploaded, so the team doesn't have enough data to investigate this issue. Please, upload your save files so I can send them to the Game Team.
Thank you.

Hi,
in the topic above, I sent some links to the profiles where the save was corrupted in different car groups.
Here You can find my links too:

It's bad to hear that until now Codemasters has not touched the issue at all and is still waiting for more data ☹️ Codemasters programmers don't have the tools to decode the digits in the error message? Someone designed it this way, so the information about the error code should give some clues. I browse this forum every day and I looking forward to any positive response. I'm losing hope that this will ever be fixed. I will be happy to colaborate with team if additional information is needed, do some test or answer questions.
btw. examining only the save file may not be effective as this is the last state where the game was working properly (when information about a save corruption appears, the file cannot be saved). You need to load the save file and continue driving (usually several routes) until you receive a message about a corrupt save file.
I saw on the forum that Xbox users have the same problem. If anyone could send save file, that would be great. I also saw reports of save corruption on the Steam forum.
Someone from Codemasters team can also check this by setting the 16 country and 12 stages championships in the 97-11 group in Quick Play Solo mode (using Citroen Xsara all the time) and investigate this issue. I have been researching it for months in my own way, looking for similarities or correlations, so far i didnt find any solution.
And what about this topic? The issue looks very similar to the one described in this post
This should be fixed in the December patch, but I didn't find any information about it in the changelog. Maybe it wasn't fixed properly.
PS.
for now, please send me my observations that I wrote above to the team. Maybe they'll be helpful. Save files are unusually designed and I have never encountered where the game automatically wrote my own save file instead of using autosave file. After the Junior WRC championship ended, my save file simply disappeared from the list.
I continue testing in quick play solo mode

After game update to 1.6 i will try with another car group.
PS.
If anyone has a corrupt save during the championship, please send your profile file to the team to help resolve the issue. Thanks
Today i noticed another bug in quick play solo mode. I started championship and after few stages i saved the game as Progress1. When i back to continue progress, my save file "progress1" gone, but autosave make a save and i can continue my championship (see picture). Could someone from the team finally intervene and check what's going on in this mode? I have already raported so many bugs in this mode, but until now not one was fixed.

Hi,
today i finished a championship NR4/R4 in quick play solo mode (template 16 countries / 12 stages) without problem with save corrupted. I used Mitshubishi Lancer all the time.
Link to my profil files to analise:

In conclusion:
I finished championship without problem with the folowing car groups:
WRC
WRC Junior
NR4/R4
another car group like
WRC2
1997-2011
RALLY 4
GROUP A
....after a few countries ended with a corrupted save message.
What I have observed is that the groups where I have completed the championship consist of 3 or less cars in group. Where there are more of cars, the file became corrupt in about half of the championships. I also heard on another forum that reducing the number of countries and routes supposedly helps.
====================================================
Once again, I am asking the team to intervene and investigate the problem. I've been sitting and testing this mode for half a year to find a solution, but nothing works.
====================================================
So my bulider car never had a thumbnail for it's livery, not sure if normal.
After 1.8 update, my livery is gone. They're still there if I try to select or edit them, but car is blank/white.
If I try to create a new livery, on any car, game instantly crashes when trying to save. No crash logs or dumps saved anywhere when it happens either.
After 8 months of struggles, requests and searching for solutions, I finally completed the WRC 97 - 11 class championship (16 countries, 10 stages pro country) without any problems with save. Following the suggestion of one user, I reduced the number of routes from 12 to 10. And it helped. Unfortunately, the EA and CM teams did not even lift a finger to find the problem, I think that even after this information they will not find time to find and patch the problem.
