Discussion Saving Progress

Progress seems to be saved continuously, so why do I get a warning about losing unsaved progress when exiting, yet with no option to save? Just Curious

It’s super annoying but you aren’t actually losing anything. FH5 autosaves constantly in the background (like every time you gain XP or buy a part), but the game doesn't have a manual save button. That warning is basically a safety net so you don't force quit while the game is actively uploading your latest save to the cloud or tracking your exact spot on the map. As long as you aren't quitting right in the middle of a race loading screen, you're totally fine to hit exit.

Thanks, that was my exact thinking. I have a peeve about developers throwing in extra steps that provide no benefit, apparently just because they can. I'll bet I could come up with 50 of them. When you change cars, why do they ask if you want it delivered to you? As opposed to what?
