GTA Online Technical Issues

[Noz636]

im gonna wait till a buddy is in a online session, if it works for him i try it again! i wont create a new char...

[AdmiralAmmunation]

Guys, characters might be gone because they cleared the servers, for multiple reasons:

1. They wanted to make sure people who couldn't get online at all wouldn't be behind.

2. The characters may have had corrupted data when they were fixing it which could have caused a lot of problems and were forced to clear them to get rid of the corruption.

3. They made a whole new way to store characters which caused the others to be lost.

 

It could have been for one of these reasons or all 3.

I mean, you were warned your stuff was more likely then not to be lost during all this so it's not like you weren't told by a billion other people (including me) that characters are probably gonna get lost/wiped.

[RazorRamon709]

Yah I spent 2 days with my character, had 30g saved up and a wicket car, goes to sign in, all gone for the 3rd time, waiting for this to get fixed before I play again

[Nate273]

Hi guys new here. I had the exact same problems. Played it earlier and it was fine. Came back a couple hours later character lost. Then it wouldn't let me connect to a game. So I deleted the game patch and reinstalled it and gta online works again. Not sure if a permanent fix but no problems as of yet.

[Noz636]

ya, if there was a complete reset, a reset for every player, but thats not the case, some people still have their char and some not, thers something wrong!

[Salvo_Giannicus]

this is really disappointed...i played gow ascension for an entire year ,never happened a thing like that,Sony santa monica servers are strong and reliable...i want my character back ...WTF

you have an source where they state this?

[D-man__the_great]

I must be lucky. Level 38, already got the 200k apartment. Yall should come by my crib sometime... my sh*t has been working since day 2... checking my social club account and my character is still there. I bet i can even get online now

[AdmiralAmmunation]

^^No but I work with networks and I'm just saying that this could be why a lot of people are missing characters.

They never stated it I'm just saying this is a good idea on why. it's better to come up with a good reliable explanation then bitch like a lot of other people.

 

Also ^^^ SSM deals with PS-only. Rockstar has both the PS3 and XBox crowd to worry about, more than doubling the work load they have to deal with being networks work differently and such.

try it my toon is also there on social club but ingame its lost and have to create a new one but ill wait in the hope its restored soon

[corey_iow]

So... I have spent just over 24 hours on my online character now, im level 22 with 70k... played it fine earlier with my character, come back on around hour or two later and character seems to have vanished. The same thing has happened to my friend so im hoping it's just the cloud servers bugging out and that it will be fixed soon... If not, bye bye GTA V

[Im Bored]

Im not restarting if my character is on Social Club.

I will wait till all my other friends are playing and see if they had issues

[es1234]

everybody who dont have your character dont worry you`l get it back only if you dont do the new character...you just got to wait when server is down.....and when server will be back you wil get your character back 100%

[Noz636]

Note: When the Rockstar Cloud Services are unavailable, you are given the option to still play online on disc-based content (rather than R* Cloud content). You are asked to confirm before entering Multiplayer whether you would like to play on a temporary character, without the ability to save. If you confirm this option, please note that none of your old characters will be available for that play session, and the temporary character you create will not be saved. If you want to make sure the characters you create are saved, you should not proceed into GTA Online when the R* Cloud Servers are unavailable. Even if the services come back up while you are playing on a temporary character, that temporary character will not save -- you would need to return to Single Player and re-enter GTA Online to load your non-temporary characters and resume playing with the ability to save progress.

So our characters with all this time of work has gone? well if rockstar can't keep 2 platforms should sell refrigerators to eskimos for live and not to do multiplayer...i have buyed about 200 euros dlc for gwoa ,i will never buy a single penny for gta because my afraid is to lose everithing everytime.

Who told you that? are you sure?

[AdmiralAmmunation]

^Dude you were warned a billion times your stuff is probably gonna get lost.

it was your choice to continue on anyway despite all this trouble, you saw this coming,

Seriously people you decided to go on when all this losing character stuff was happening IT WAS YOUR CHOICE AND YOU SAW THIS COMING, YOU NEW STUFF WAS GETTING LOST. YOU WERE WARNED.

So stop acting up, wait for when it's all smooth and if it's not their tough tits just make a new one and get on with it.

All the bitching in the world can't retreive deleted data.

[Mantic]

I dont know if anybody has this problem too, but me and my friends can go online and play just fine. We can do mission, roam, everything, but when it comes to play together, it doesnt work. It tells us that were unable to join the session or some other error message. Does someone have an idea what we could do to play together.

[sketi]

Level 30 character lost... I lost my 15 before this too. Just sucks waking up thinking ur going to play because everything was working finally and then u get taken to no characters. This games basically a waste of time and i think the games finally ruined for me. Fcking stayed up countless hours on both characters, bunch of retards work at cockstar... Seriously it's been 5 days since they released it... I didn't think it was possible to suck this bad

i will left this noob game ,this is not a serious multiplayer.

[Noz636]

ok, friends are back online, everything works, that means, our chars are really gone, no restore!

You know what, I think YOU should be the one who creates all the servers and upkeeps them, solo. You clearly seem to know everything and be able to run a $230,000,000 business, just because.

 

And you're the dumbass who overwrote your old progress and created a new character and lost your old in the process. Maybe if you worked or went to school, there'd be enough time to kill instead of sitting 2 feet from your t.v. waiting and crying all day.

^^^I'm just saying don't blame R* for you continuing on in something you were warned would be lost and bitch about it.

Them and many others told you this would happen.

Don't complain about something that happened when we directly told you this would happen.

I lost yet ANOTHER guy. This time I was at level 7, I was playing for like 2 or 3 hours straight. I didnt have a lot of cash because i spent it all on bullets. But come on! I have been forced to create 2 separate characters and now they are both gone! I have put in so much work and now I have nothing to show for it. R* is going to have to give all of us some free stuff, like maybe cash and cars and maybe like a game or 2. If not I will NEVER play any of their stupid games AGAIN!!

 

R* owes us something for all our hard work and nothing to show.

I'm not sure why they are not addressing these issues or making any statements about this. Its just ridiculous, I mean what kind of company does this kind of stuff to their loyal customers. They have shafted all of us and we don't deserve it.

all you are saying ARE nice BS ...so this is a multiplayer that has the risk to have all your work leveling lost? so i buy some gta dollar from psstore and i buy a property and when i on my ps3 all my things disappeared and i should be happy because they told me? all legal notes are just for preserve ,doesnt' mean i have not complain for have a better service.

[AdmiralAmmunation]

Sorry if i seem a bit mean I'm steamed right now about my NAT problem, no offense to anyone just tryin ot get my points across through all this cursing and random rages.

Also, still unable to play missions as nobody ever joins me. Sometimes I time about but not all the time. (PS3)

 

^And dude I meant early on we were warned, and we won't always lose it but at the beginning people lost it and we were warned they may have to wipe servers/have data loss due to crashes.

Just calm down and wait it out. The first missions will be more enjoyable when it's fixed if it is gone anyway. Everyone gets a fresh start and no chance of glitched/corrupted characters.

[malcolmfunktion]

I just spoke to a guy I know who is a computer technician about all the issues we are having on the server. I asked him if I would ever see the man again that I lost and he pretty much told me to F off. So now basically everyone is aware of these issues and R* is doing NOTHING about it. They keep shutting the internet off and forcing us to sit around and wait for them to turn it "back on". Well I for one am completely sick of this and R* better be compensating all of us with free $ and cars and maybe even a new game or 2. Because this is just plain ridiculous and I'm tired of just bending over and taking up the pooper from R* for almost a week straight.

One of the lads in my crew had his character dissapear and instead of creating a new one in the same slot profile he waited...and it returned. Apparently if you create a new one you erase any hope if the old one returning. This is the only thing that gives me a bit if hope that my level 14 character will return.

yeah indeed i'm waiting ,let's see

[Universal-Shot]

Whats the point in letting some of us play online with a new character when are old ones are on Social!?

 

So I can make a new character and play or wait until I dont know when to play my old one! This is Rockstars responsibility, they are screwing up here by not informing us properly.

 

So the cloud servers are up if we want to make a new character but we have to wait to play our old one. Its all screwed up!
