outlook 2013 contacts synchronization from outlook.com

I have outlook 2013 rtm on windows 8 ent and the behavior of outlook is kinda weird.

I was able sync my mail and calendar from my outlook.com account, but I can see just 2 of my contacts there. I have about 300 contacts in my people hub in windows 8, but just 2 in the outlook 2013.

If I reinstall it and run the setup again, i get another 2 contacts in outlook. How can I force to sync them all?

This is a known problem and Microsoft is working on fixing it.

It seems if you save the contact from Outlook.com then it starts syncing....I am going to test out creating a new contact on the phone to see if it pushes to Oulook.

No KB yet and i don't expect one as it should be fixed before they would get the KB released. I asked my contact about it a earlier this week after several complaints posted here and was told they started investigating a couple of days after RTM was released.

Got the same problem!

I have my mail contacts saved in outlook.com. Now it is very circuitous to create a new mail. I ended up exporting my contacts from Outlook.com to a CSV file and added them MANUALLY to Outlook 2013 as local contacts.

I very much hope that Microsoft will fix this problem ASAP.

Partial solution is to edit each contact on @outllok.com.
Changing the name, save and return and save.
For me, it worked.

This is a working solution, OK. But for me is impossible to edit more as 2000 contacts, that first.
Second - it is impossible edit Facebook contacts.
