The fix, distributed through the Xbox Gaming Services app on PC, ensures more dependable progress saves.
Users can check for the fix by opening the Xbox PC app, clicking their profile picture, navigating to Settings > About, and verifying the Gaming Services version is 32.106.13001.0 or above. Tests on version 33.108.12001.0 confirm the bug is effectively addressed, with progress saving consistently.
