I had the same issue 7 TIMES if you restart your game it will fix it but it will put you back to last checkpoint
Been happening to me all day throughout acts 2-4. Happened again right now and causes game to crash to xbox dashboard.
Yah I played through Act 1 and first couple chapters of 2 picked up a bunch of stuff and said no collectibles when I went to bed. Bummed. I’m currently stuck at the mine solo intermediate campaign. Loving the story though.
I encountered the problem aswell, my only solution towards it was quit thing the game completely and starting it again on the previous checkpoint and everything turned out fine. it’s a hassle but it’s worth it. 
This issue has happend to me countless times, I have given up and just turned it off. I just beat the boss in act 2 watched the cutscenes, and began act 3, then for the issue to arise again and to put back in to act 2 before the fight, and I really cba with that boss fight a second time. I even have the achivement for doing act 2 but nope this issue still sets me back.
I took a pic of the glitch in post it here.
This never happened in 4. TC wasnt ready for this release.

Had this happen 3 or 4 times throughout the campaign. basically had to reset the entire console because I couldn’t load last checkpoint or end the lobby. It reset the collectables that I found as well (act 4 so not the worst in the world but still). Pretty sure this also stopped me from unlocking the “Find all condors” achievement as well.
Be careful out there folks

Ugh same thing happened to me but it happened right after I finished chapter 1 so ALL my collectibles I finished were gone. Decided to stop playing until they get their ■■■■ together. Awful firs t play through experience. Get it together Gears.
Yeah, I just went to check my collectibles and only a few from Chapter 1 saved. Everything else was gone. Even now as they’re saying stats should be working as intended, I don’t trust it. If I check the Stats menu, it will say “fetching…” under every item for several minutes, like a ridiculous amount of time for something so simple. And even after it fully loads once, the second you back out of any section, it has to refresh the whole process again. At this point, I’m definitely gonna wait for a real patch. I really don’t want to lose progress a second time or somehow break my profile further.
Yeah my stats aren’t working either. Collectibles, acts etc. Can’t see any of the progress I made. I can load and play the campaign and MP just fine but yeah no online services are syncing.
This has made campaign unplayable for me! I finish a section (literally every time I finish a boss fight) and get the never ending wheel of saving. Games messes up, puts me back a checkpoint or two and I have to do it all again. So glad I’m doing it on Insane too…
I genuinely cant play again until it’s fixed, or my tv will get broken - but theres no official acknowledgement of it being an issue, only talking about versus problems!

Same. They say that the collectibles issue are fixed. but mine take over 2 full minutes to load.
And the game randomly stuck on “saving checkpoint” usually when this happen you lost all the collectibles of the last chapter and the game must be reload .
Sorry for bad eng. I’m ita
My collectables keep coming and going too. Campaign is the only mode I’ve tried so far, and from what I’m hearing of the others I’m sorely tempted to trade this in for a FUNCTIONAL game as soon as I’ve completed the story.
Should’ve kept to my word and not got the Ultimate Edition again…
Just finished the chapter 2 boss fight. Took me several tries (Marcus isn’t the only one getting old), but I finally got it. Started Chapter 3… didn’t see an achievement. Then got the Saving Content glitch. Now I’m back at the boss fight. Really disappointed, about the worst thing a game can do to me is waste my limited game time. Hope they fix this, like others have said, I’ve never experienced this sort of problem in a Gears game.

I’m on Act 2 and I’m where you get to the last beacon and I’m standing on the beacon and Del keeps saying, “come on, get off, we’re here.” I’m literally standing on the checkpoint. Multiple checkpoints are off by hundreds of yards as well so I’m thinking this is the same problem, so I walk around, nothing. No saving wheel either. It just doesn’t want to load the checkpoint.
Guys…

It takes only 1 minute. Maybe they listen to us

Can confirm this was happening to me as well.
But since I switched my console to “Offline”, I’ve been playing without interruption. My achievements likely won’t be tracked right and I won’tsee them pop until I reconnect to Live, but at least I can finish my playthrough without having my checkpoints screwed up by TC’s janky servers.
Was at Act 2 chapter 4 with all collectibles, but when I started up the game again, everything was gone.
That was the 2nd time I had to restart the campaign because of this issue and it has completely ruined my experience, which really sucks since I was enjoying the story alot up until that point. Maybe TC should check that their servers work before they release a game, and maybe not have progress saved online. Literally everyone uses local saves except you. Absolutely idiotic
Ours is still glitching on chapter 1 act 4. Everytime we kill the flock the game glitches. The saving icon just keeps going and then it kicks us right back and we lose the collectables. So frustrating! Maybe we should check back in 2 weeks when they’ve sorted it. Such a dampener.
