Check for Updates: Make sure your game and graphics drivers are up to date.
Delete Saved Games: Sometimes, deleting the saved game data can prompt the game to create a new, healthy save file.
Use the Cloud Save Feature: If you're experiencing issues with local saves, try enabling Steam Cloud for Forza Horizon 5, then restart your game.
If your personal save is truly gone and you do not want to replay the game, you can download a 100% completed save file from the community.
Warning: Using someone else's save file usually disables Achievements and Leaderboards.
