Forza Motorsport 5 / XBox One Crash Fix - Profile Reset

*NOTE* This will totally reset your Forza 5 career.

Starting a new career mode in any game is one of the best parts of a new title. Forza Motorsport has always been known for a great career mode and with Forza 5 just having arrived my excitement. Well, my career (Shaun) crashed and we had to reset my profile / FM 5 gameplay.. .......... Read the full article here:

It is a lovely thing to know, wanted to restart my profile on that game for a while.  THANKS FOR THE INTEL...

Shaun, I think it's very important that when you guys review this game you take into consideration these crash issues, the lack of compatibility with the vast majority of wheels, the compatibility issues with the only wheels that actually work with the game (think how you have to use a workaround to even start the game for the first time "walk to car and open door"),  the lack of content relative to previous entries and more importantly the micro transactions in this full priced game that also has season's pass DLC and the price gouging in the micro transactions.  Especially when you consider the "coincidence" of having less content in the main game, and the sudden proliferation of dlc and microtransactions...  They like to use the excuse of "less content because its a launch game."  But the inclusion of all of the post purchase paid content is a clear indicator that their excuse is not the whole truth.

Ok, so your career is reset...but what about the cars you've bought and the game currency you've earned, do they go away or are they retained? Might have been a good idea to specify what happens to a career post reset. Thanks for the head's up.

This is like fixing a crashed harddrive by throwing it away and getting a new one.

[ernestochang]

one question after doing this do you loose all your dlc content and not downloading it again, or can you download it for free, example, you got the dlc that u paid for in game and deleted the file, can you still have it for free

[brianhawkins]

You can also try this, hold down the power button on the Xbox one for about ten seconds it should reset without losing anything

[tekkaboy]

Wouldnt it be a good idea if your booting up the game for the first time to do this trick from the start, to avoid any problems?

how can i reset my gears back to automatic gears please on forza motorsport 5

[wolfiregnihcie]

Did it but now my whole care gifts are gone. For example the Lotus e21. Is there a way to get the gifts back? I didn't want to reset it, the stupid xbox support girl told me to do that. She told me I can restore my profile from cloud.... Nooope was level 65. e21 gone, ferrari f1 (lauda) gone, audi r18, pagani cinque and p1 all gone. Is there a way to get my old profile back!?

[mfavo]

I don't have this single player problem but it's multiplayer I can join multiplayer games but it kicks me after the race starts and I tried uninstalling and all that and it still didn't fix it. Also I bought the limited edition forza and will I lose all the tokens even if I uninstall the bonus content and then reset my profile and reinstall it again

[mattsinthehat]

So I have a problem where I am at the title screen and it loads the cinematic of all the cars, then it goes back to the title screen and repeats it. I left it to do this for three hours and nothing changed, I have done it all and I don't know what's wrong. It worked when it was installing, why not anymore? I even uninstalled it twice. Can anyone please help?

[sillydillydokieo]
