Car Collection rewards just reset

[ppRogue1]

Here's a weird one. I logged in after work and played maybe 30 minutes of the Hot Wheels DLC. All fine, but with the heatwave here in London, I wasn't happy with where my PC's temps were sitting while playing, so I switched over to the Steam Deck instead.

When I loaded up on the Deck (where I've played FH5 a few times with no issues) all of my rewards from car collection had reset - meaning I could claim the ones I'd already earned all over again. That was around 16 wheelspins, a dozen super wheelspins, a bunch of cars and a fair bit of cash/xp.

No idea whether this is a quirk of the Hot Wheels DLC, the Deck or a weird combination of both. Anybody else had it? I mean, I don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth, but I'm worried I've broken something now.

And it seems to reset them every time I quit and restart the game. Going to stop playing for now. Something is clearly broken.

I had this bug happen too. All of my collection awards were reset. Do you think you can get banned for collecting rewards again?

[ppRogue1]

No idea - hope not. I went through and collected them all again thinking it was a one-off bug and wanting to clear the notification, but it's clear now they reset every time I load the game. If it's a common bug, they probably won't ban people. Just don't abuse it, I guess...

[Dante]

Not abusing it is the right thing to do. I have only been able to collect rewards once. After several test re-entries in the game - the reset rewards were no more. Hope it will be fix soon.

I think it might be related to the collection reward from the Hot Wheels manufacturer. The conditions and reward for this have been changed, and I think if you claim it when you already had the old one, it glitches the rest of your collection.

Might also be the syncing of Steam and MS on load?
Guessing here as I had it happen on release.

Yep, me too. I also, idk if may also be low battery or something. But I use a MSI controller and the vibration stopped working, even connecting it with an USB cable.

I also had this happen at some point (not using a Steam deck).

i have the same issue. at first i did not notice what was going on then stopped a few brands in realizing they got the same car. not sure how to report to devs.

[TheHuskyGT]

Same here. It was a bit scary as the game started me on the Supra, then got the "Loading Summer" screen with the music you get when you start the game for the first time. The screen did all sorts of weird things and it put me back on the HotWheels Hub, despite my set home is another one.

And yes, it reset all my Collection Rewards. I don't know why I just collected them again, even sold the cars at the AH. I made nearly 30 million in just an hour, not counting the dozens of wheelspins I got back. I don't condone or do that kind of exploit BS, but I was a bit confused and didn't think much of it at the moment.

I hope it doesn't do it again, or that I don't get banned or something. If it does, I won't be touching the collection screen again. Heck, I'm not even touching the Hotwheels map anymore.

Mine keeps resetting on me each log in as well. The first time, I went through and re unlocked them all so I could have the e-motes, etc back. But now they are all locked again! ARGH!

I've had the car collection reset as well in the Hot Wheels DLC, but I've also had it reset prior to this DLC being released. IMO, I don't think they'll take any negative actions against players for redeeming the rewards again.

This happens to me periodically in the base game.

Everyone I know on the HW-DLC had their collection rewards reset within the first 30 mins of play or so.

I got all car collection awards again, means 20+ wheelspins, 20+ multiwhellspins and a few of FP and credits.

Why would they ban someone for doing this?
There is no real benefit, but it was fun to collect it all again at once :-)
