F1 24

 game gives same problem

Podium Pass progress / Pitcoin and challenge / licence / online rank is stored on EA servers, not in game.

You could not make this Frankengame stuff up.

Makes no sense and a user has reported running 1D and it works. 

1D will stop copying files if the 5GB limit is reached and you do not subscribe.

Some players may have more storage or have opted out ‘Documents’ in the 1D settings.

So the career saves are the only thing in Program Files (x86) (Steam only) - user may or may not have Steam Cloud enabled (though it is default).

Controlled Folder Access in Windows Security may also be an issue.

Doesn’t work

One drive must shut down.Cut and paste the save games in Programfiles

And the forum is not showing all posts.

It’s pants, fix it.

Be interesting if the files that were deleted were placeholder or read-only or somehow related to sync. 

But at least one poster here has not posted any information about PC platform or install location. 

Thank you, after trying ten different things this finally worked for me. I was even able to turn OneDrive back on after and the game is still saving like normal.

scox72 I understand the situation is not ideal and it is frustrating. I assure you the team is investigating the issue and working hard to try to solve this for everyone.

As soon as I have something else, I'll let you know.

The game doesn't really like being installed to anywhere other than the Documents folder.

Check that even with a different install destination to default that you still get C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\My Games\F1 24

and the problem is compounded by the EA App (AIUI) that installs to (above path) at least as far as My Documents....

Problem compounded by Windows constantly recommending 'Microsoft Recommended Settings' to migrate contents of profile to 

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\One Drive\Documents

which the game then either can't locate the filepath as it's possibly hard-coded (like the above) OR the files are REMOVED and left as placeholders (weblinks) for on-demand access from cloud.

Positively EGREGIOUS actions by Microsoft and schoolboy errors by CM/EA to leave the copy/paste game like this for so long?

Never had the issue as I learned many moons ago not to trust funky Microsoft and their 1D cancer.

Steam does save the save game to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Userdata\%STEAMGAMEID% (really Steam, still 32-bit?) 😮
