This Event Archives proves to be such a clusterf..k. Obviously it is poorly thought out.

As I see it, there are 2 major flaws in it.

1. EA should be about events that were skipped or not completed by the player. Why on earth do I have the Ferrari J50 and Motorfiesta 2 in the archives when I completed those events and the cars are in my garage? Reading this thread, I am not the only one. Am I supposed to rerun these for no reward whatsoever, just to eventually get to events that I actually did not complete? Or pay the 20 GC for skipping them? Or start them and wait for them to time out, a total of 14 days? This is absolutely ridiculous!

2. Cloud save no longer works once an event from the archives has been started, if the event in question was left incomplete (or completed) previously. Apparently the previous progress of the event is recorded/saved somewhere, so a cloud save of the current progress is compared with the previous progress and it is deemed invalid if the current progress percentage is below the previous progress percentage. So, in case the event in question was completed previously, it MUST be completed again if it was started from the EA. And there is obviously no cloud save available until the event is completed again. Wonderful.

I think I have a relatively simple solution to both these issues.

What if the status of all events in the EA is restored to the status of the respective event as it is saved from the previous run? For an event that has a progress of 51% from a previous attempt, you only need to run the remaining 49% to have it completed. So if an event was previously  completed and it shows up in the archives, no big deal. It's completed and you can move on to the next one. If an event is half done you continue working on the remaining races in the series, cloud save should not be an issue.
