Using iOS on iPad mini gen 2, and all since the start of this update.

Started Archives. I think I had tried most before at some point as the cars had a few upgrades on them. But they could have come from being a loan car in O-L-Multiplayer rather than SE's or LTS's. I forget.

Did DTM Merc, finished, no problems.

Did Rennsport, finished, no problems.

Started Huayra BC and did first day.

Note I tend to dump the app if not using it and I also totally shut down the iPad if not using it. Mostly because it's old/lack of memory/weak battery. So when I finish playing I always backup.

Next time I started the iPad and RR3, after the intro screens, it popped up a message comparing my latest save and a previous one. Never seen that before. Both saves were the same percentage but one was multiple hours older. To be safe I picked the oldest. It was pre starting the Huayra. So that was back to unstarted, and my daily rewards etc which had been lost were given to me again but it was in the same 24 hour period. Not much else lost as a result.

Since then backup is working fine and I haven't tried to start the Huayra again as I'd suspect the same will happen again.

But this is very, very weird:  In system information/general/ipad storage RR3 shows as 54.8MB. It always used to be 800MB+. Why is it suddenly so small? Smaller than little games of dominos etc! Updating all the data after an upgrade is usually 2GB or more. The iPad is only 16GB and previously <>10GB was always shown as used. Now only 8.2GB is.

So there seems to be something else going on here. But I don't understand what except that it must be to do with the cloud save (I don't use iCloud) as so little remains on the iPad.

Anyway I could suggest to those with problems to try shutting down and switching off entirely. It's possible that a full restart will give you an offer of an older save to restore that does actually work. But I wouldn't of course suggest it because I wouldn't want the liability if it caused yet more problems! if you're on an iPad (or any IOS device), you've likely got system preferences set to offload apps - on.
