Quick Answer

If FH6 appears to lose progress, do not keep playing and risk overwriting cloud data. Update Gaming Services or your Xbox system, choose Cloud save when the conflict dialog appears, and on Xbox try Manage game & add-ons > Saved data > Restore saved data.

September 2026 Known-Issue Status

Forza Support now points players to the Forza Feedback Portal for up-to-date tracking. The public Known Issues page still highlights ongoing lost-save investigation, FH5 vinyl import limits, house fast-travel problems, long loading after extended sessions, Steam launch errors, 0x12c startup failures, low-spec PC audio crackle, and tunnel-lighting artifacts.

What to Do After a Lost Save

  1. Stop playing so a new session does not overwrite recoverable cloud data.
  2. Make sure PC Gaming Services or the Xbox system software is fully updated.
  3. If a conflict dialog appears, choose Cloud save to restore the most recent synced version.
  4. On Xbox, check Manage game & add-ons > Saved data > Restore saved data.
  5. Submit a Forza Support ticket the same day if progress is missing.

Habits That Reduce Risk

Forza Support recommends disabling Quick Resume for FH6 on Xbox Series X|S. On every platform, quit while online and wait for cloud sync before shutting down or switching devices. Players who move between Xbox, Steam, the Xbox App and Cloud Gaming should be especially careful.

PC and Steam Issues

The Known Issues list includes Steam Load Failed startup errors, 0x12c launch failures, audio crackle on low-spec devices, and tunnel-lighting artifacts. The identified 0x12c workaround is enabling AES in BIOS. Support also reiterates that Windows 10/11 and Steam Deck SteamOS are supported, ordinary Linux is not, and Pascal-era NVIDIA plus Polaris/Vega-era AMD GPUs are below minimum spec.

When to Submit a Ticket

Submit a Forza Support ticket for lost progress, account entitlement issues, missing rewards, and repeated crashes. For gameplay bugs, feature requests, or car suggestions, search the Forza Feedback Portal first and vote/comment on existing reports when possible.
