9/21 1610 Preview Build Game Save issue with Forza Horizon 3 - Fix incoming with new 1610 Build (ETA 9/22)

We’ve identified an issue in the current 1610 Preview update which impacts game save data for Forza Horizon 3. Users who pre-ordered the Forza Horizon 3 Ultimate Edition will receive early access beginning tomorrow (9/22), and we will be releasing a new 1610 Preview update tomorrow morning (estimated 11:00 AM PDT) to fix this issue.
For Preview users who have access to Forza Horizon 3 prior to the release of this new 1610 Preview update (New Zealand and Australia), please be aware that until your console has downloaded the latest 1610 Preview update, you may lose saved progress in Forza Horizon 3.
This issue occurs when reaching a certain threshold of game save data and is impacted saving career progress, saving screenshots, and importing designs from previous Forza titles. Please be aware that when saving career progress this issue will not indicate an error is present, however, upon restarting the game saved progress may be lost.

Thank you for your understanding and we will communicate more as we push out the new build with the fix over the next 24 hours.

Microsoft Store.

(Singaporean store for gift card + pay rest w/ paypal)

Can I use a credit card through PayPal and it does the conversion for me? How much will I save doing this?

Thanks.

I thought they closed the pay rest with PayPal loophole.

 

[Kuusoge]

Is there a way to unlock Microsoft store games ahead of your region release time? VPN?

 

[Makikou]

Ah I didn't know. Scrap that then.

Glad I got mine a week before release since it was working then

So the 1610 is coming today? (09/22)

 

[CmdrShepard]

So the 1610 is coming today? (09/21)

No ETA is 22/09. They said users would likely miss out because it does not come online till 11:00am PDT time. So if you are up at midnight on preview program then there may be issues.

Yeah just seen that today is the 22th already but early access is beginning tomorrow (09/23). I'm confused.

Ah i was silly because i got confused. Then yes it is "today" US time and it should be out before US +EU launch but just not before Aus + NZ launch.

 

[terrible]

What's the DLC situation like for those that buy the game from Singapore or whatever? Will only DLC from that region will work with it or what?

 

[Karak]

Wow! Finally something that really adds and not just a gimmick like 3D.

HDR is as far away from a gimmick as it can possibly be.

 

[Jamex RZ]

HDR is as far away from a gimmick as it can possibly be.

Agreed. I have watched several HDR UHD Brays on my Bone S and they look great, but wanted to know how good would be for games. I'm buying this game!e for sure!

 

[ScientificPizza]

Finally got my Warthog code and am preloaded on both PC and Xbox One (just in case my PC can't handle it or something)

Now just gotta somehow get through work tomorrow

Region free unless specifically stated otherwise

I didn't know that, that makes things a lot easier then.

Wow. WTF?! FH3 will be ready at 6pm here and I won't be able to play it until 9pm, because they fucked up!? It's not even 100% sure that the update will be ready for download at 8pm+. I'm pissed. ;(

Edit: It doesn't help that I had a corrupted save in FH2 after I was half way through the game...

Well you are using a preview build of the OS and they at least managed to find the bug and fix it almost on time and informed us.

 

[FreezerGeezer]

When is the OT going up?

8ish hours now until game time! 11PM local, going to have to control myself with work tomorrow haha.

If you aren't willing to deal with this kind of thing you shouldn't have signed up for the preview program.

There never were problems like this before.

 

[Makikou]

-.-



There never were problems like this before.

Even if there was never problems like this before, by using a Beta version of a console/pc/whatever OS makes you vulnerable to such issues.

Also my preload is going sloooowly... 30gb out of 49gb right now.

 

[Theorry]

So lame that the Aussie boys can play the game first of everybody just because the game is set in Australia.

Spoiler

/s

 

[gossi]

-.-

Honestly, don't sign up to the Preview if you don't want to be a tester. One of the updates bricked my console last year - it wouldn't even USB diag boot.

 

[Rocketz]

It's ready except for graphics as I'm just waiting on them from another member.

I'm hoping around 1pm EST.

My only gripe is that this somehow only affects FH3.

 

[Theorry]

It has happened before. Not sure wich game it was. But was not long ago.

 

[TB14]

I'd like to finally get a wheel for this game. However, aside from the Horizon series and a few others, I'm honestly not a huge fan of the racing genre. Any recommendations that won't break the bank?

 

[Theorry]

AMD drivers are out also.

[FrenchMovieTheme]

[eek5]

anyone know if this game has cross-save feature??

yup

cross play cross buy cross save!

 

[SmartWaffles]

anyone know if this game has cross-save feature??

Painless cross save sync.

 

[Theorry]

Cross play, Cross save, Cross buy.

 

[Patrick Young]

The gift of Forza provides even before it has launched.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

Nice, I'll get the digital version then. It's only $9 more... no prime discount but no tax either. Thanks bros

 

[Lego Boss]

I'm sure this has been asked a lot, apologies but I've been really sick irl and busy at work. If I want a digital code to get Play Anywhere, where are the best preorder deals currently, if any? Thanks in advance.

You need to be 'sick' tomorrow too.

Hope you're feeling better though.

 

[RawNuts]

You need to be 'sick' tomorrow too.

Hope you're feeling better though.

This thread may have caused an epidemic. Everyone here is about to be "sick" tomorrow.

 

[enemy2k]

Haha luckily I have off the next two days. I'm all set.

 

[willbsn13]

Supposed to unlock in an hour for me

 

[GHG]

Supposed to unlock in an hour for me

What? How?

What time does it unlock on the UK store? Midnight?

 

[KrisB]

This thread may have caused an epidemic. Everyone here is about to be "sick" tomorrow.

I'm scared that's going to be the case at my work tomorrow so it'll then be ridiculously busy.

I'm too honest to take one haha.

 

[Terbinator]

What? How?

What time does it unlock on the UK store? Midnight?

Change dat/time to Aus?

 

[Theorry]

What? How?

Change dat/time to Aus?

All depends on wich store you have bought. It will take that 12 am time.

 

[RawNuts]

Please report back here if it does; I will shit my pants.

Damn, I have to wait for EST. :/

 

[GHG]

Change dat/time to Aus?

Does that work?

What am I talking about... I haven't even preloaded yet 😳 .

 

[Theorry]

Changing time doesnt work. New Zealand unlocks in 1 hour when its 12 am there.
Australia release time is in 3 hours and Singapore in 5 hours.

 

[willbsn13]

What? How?

What time does it unlock on the UK store? Midnight?

Game is supposed to unlock at midnight in your local time zone and that's what the store says so I'm hoping it'll unlock in an hour.

 

[Li Kao]

I thought they closed the pay rest with PayPal loophole.

Anybody can confirm this ?
So if this is right all you can do is buy SG$140 worth of cards for a product that costs SG$124.5 ?

 

[danowat]

Game is supposed to unlock at midnight in your local time zone and that's what the store says so I'm hoping it'll unlock in an hour.

Not if you brought it from a different region, then it will unlock at the region you brought it from.

 

[saladine1]

Where in the store does it say the time of launch?

 

[GHG]

Not if you brought it from a different region, then it will unlock at the region you brought it from.

So the guys who bought it from Singapore got lucky?
