F1 24

this is a known issue that is being addressed in the next patch. F1 24 Save Failed | EA Forums - 11874068

In the meantime, you can try disabling one drive as several people have reported that this solves the issue for them.

its been more than 27 days with this problem but still there is no new patches for this issue. EA_Groguet 

i think this game is starting to crash my fortnite even if its not running?? And THE AUTOSAVE IS STILLLL NOT WORKING what is this, major company? more like lazy company 

The issue on Steam is that the game usually (okay....sometimes) decides to ignore your career save after a patch and you lose all your progress! 

So, Steam is not a Utopia. The game is very buggy. And it's Steam cloud's crude sync that destroys the process. Backing up your local folders (as you could include them in File History in Windows 10, not in Windows 11 as it doesn't support adding folders) you had a fighting chance (of fighting Steam sync).

is this still going on or its fix?

The supposed fix I mentioned above did not work.  I deleted the 'profile' and 'profile.old' folders from Documents/My Games/savegame/ea.  I restarted the game and it saved for the first time.  Unfortunately, as I progressed in the game to the next autosave, it recreated the two profile folders (above) and no longer saved,  This is beyond disgusting that a fix isn't ready yet!

Supposedly, if you download the game through Steam, there is no problem.  Unfortunately, I access the game through XBox Ultimate Pass and I can't use the Steam download option.

For me on EA platform those folders were in Documents\My Games\F1 24\savegame\ea

Disabling OneDrive and deleting those worked for me. After I reenabled OneDrive and it still works.

For the sake of sharing what actually worked for others, where were those folders and I assume you are using EA platform and not Steam as Steam doesn't create those folder names AIUI.

Anyone reading this thread will not know what to do to achieve the same. At least not without a fair bit of search or trial and error.

EDIT - See three posts down below.  Deleting the profile and profile.old folders does not permanently fix the problem.

I've finally managed to get mine working, I un-installed from D:\F1 24, rebooted and re-installed to the default C:\Program Files\EA Games\F1 24 and it worked first time.  If using VR, ensure you start Steam VR before launching the game otherwise the controllers don't work.
