While FM's track record for the past few updates have been okay, there is plenty of history of them releasing problematic code that causes major problems for users.

My biggest concern for the new update is that they will not code Car Loaning correctly and cars that the player owns will end up getting labeled as On-Loan, and it will appear as if you do not own the car.

Hopefully they performed extensive testing, but these are the things I am planning to do, so that I can provide documentation to their support should the worst case scenario occur.


 * Document the current state of my garage
 * Take Screenshot of the Total Garage Value
 * Under Manufacturer Select (Garage Search), take screenshots that show all of the Manufacturer buttons, including and especially the Fully Upgraded Cars and the All Cars buttons.
 * Each Car from the main garage screen
 * Possibly do a screen recording of my garage to video
 * I have done this before. You can click through the upgrade screens as well as the customization screens if you have purchased them and everything is in a single video file instead of hundreds (thousands) of screenshot files.
 * You can also do Frame Grabs from a Video so you can create a jpeg file for a car if that is all you need.


 * Document Progress (Just before doing the update)
 * Under Settings, take a screenshot of screen with RTID and Player ID
 * Take Screenshots of my User Profile (These also capture R$ and balances)
 * Take Screenshots of WTTT
 * Less likely - Take screens shots of progress in each series
 * However this can provide proof if you lose a car but show that you have completed a series with the car in it.


 * Perform a backup of my device and archive that backup before I download the update from the App Store. (This will vary by device and OS)
 * Do a Cloud Save just before the download.
 * Only update one device (I have RR3 on my phone and my tablet) and make sure that there are no problems with cars and Gold balance before I update the other device.

Hopefully, this isn't necessary, but it is better to prepare for the worst and hope for the best than to lose your game assets or progress and have no proof to provide FM Support to try and get it back.
