Terrible save system
The game is great but the saving system is dreadful!! You should be allowed to save at any point you feel like outside of a race and exit the game without worrying the stupid auto-save system won't keep your progress

It will save it. Like someone else mentioned above, even when you perform a single skill and the game registers it, it will save. Bump into a bush and get a landscaping skill, the game will save when you get that tiny little bit of influence points.

I don't understand what you mean. I've played more than 300 hours and never had any issue with losing progress. The moment you enter the open world you can close the game at any given point and you don't lose anything.
AFAIK, it saves every single time you do anything that could count as progress.
Just even a slight drift.

The way this game saves makes it impossible that you'll lose any progress. Literally any little thing you do, the game saves. Even seconds apart.

If it worries you that exiting the game without any option to save will make you lose your progress, then don't worry. That won't happen.

It doesnt for me! I Have to redo TWO ♥♥♥ RACES from yesterday cuz the game didn't saved the progres! And will have to tuning and customize my RS Ford from scrap!

AAs for the answer to a quiestion HOW TO SAVE (manualy/forcebly) You can FORCE SAVE by changing difficulity settings tho. Before you quit the game, change the difficulity of your enemies, go back to the game world, open up options again, set it back to what you want and THEN quit. Tested it and it works.

Then how come I lost last night's session. I finished a seasonal event - the hogmanay street partyevent, won a Ferrari, got 50% and hence, a backstage pass. Used it on a Bugatti Divo. Bought a Dodge Charger in the Auction House. All gone.

Decided o the race again today and got the backstage pass. Except now it says I have 0 passes even though i just redid everything. Cant find the bugatti in my garage either. wtf
