My rank 9 online character just got deleted after losing connection.

Is there any way to get my character back or do I have to start all over again?

I did save my character btw

Lost mine too, happening to a lot of people when they go off it and come back. Im just staying away from online until its properly running smoothly because atm it is completely f*cked. I believe it is deleted and no such way of retrieving it back, or does anyone know anymore info?

Happened to me too.

 

As others have said, best to just stick with offline until everything gets sorted.

I managed to play online for the first time today. Did a bunch of robberies, got myself 20k pretty quickly, then decided to jump into a mission... the game hung in transition, left me floating for about 10 minutes, nothing doing.

 

I restarted GTA, jumped online to pick up where I left off and my character was gone. I had saved the game/character/money prior to that, and still lost everything.

 

I think I'll be waiting for a few holes to be plugged before I board this ship again. Back to trying to 100% SP for a bit I guess.

OMFG this just happened to me too. My level 8 character *poof* just vanished after I got disconnected. I've turned off my ps3 before and it saved and now for no reason just gone? I'm done with GTAO for a long while.

There's a possibility that your characters still exists in the cloud but every time you recreate a new person it'll surely overwrite it when you do log on...try and create a person in ur second slot and leave the first one and hope it comes back when your server sorts it self out.

It is what the guy said above, it clearly says the cloud is down. I imagine this is where the characters are stored. If you then choose to proceed and ignore that, as I found, I takes you to the new character area and chucks you in a game with your new character.

A friend of mine last night did manage to somehow get past the cloud down part, got his character and continued. Yes he didn't mess too much with the modes because they wont work properly, but you guys not reading the clear message is why you have gone and made 10 different characters. I did it as my main character wont get past the race, but that's what you have done there. If you don't believe it go retry and read this time.

I lost 3 guys so far. On my 4th, after finishing the tutorial, i had a message pop up saying connection to cloud re-established and autosave was enabled. Didnt get that msg the first few times so im hoping this guy sticks around.

 

Edit: I just checked my iFruit app & it still shows my car in LSC for my online guy so it seems that the cloud saved it properly this time round.

Does anyone know if BAWSAQ is connected to Rockstars Cloud server. If so, BAWSAQ is running which would mean the Cloud servers are up.

Simple answer is Yes and No, The cloud server might be up but the server in your geographical region and area might be overloaded, down, being restarted, broken.

I expected more from a fellow saints fan, firstly it never said that my character would not be saved and i never got the error message and secondly the cloud is messed up for a lot of people, they couldn't of all misread it now surely?

Im one of the lucky ones, so when you say deleted do you mean you start the game, go to online, then end up at character selection if so dont created a new character just restart you console

If you have some patience and you find your character gone, don't make another character, restart and wait till the servers are back up. Only way for your character to permanently delete is if you make another character or spam retry as it will overwrite said character when the servers go back online.

 

Havn't lost a single thing since day 1 following these simple steps and knowledge of how your games client communicates with the servers.

 

All character data is on there servers, when it's down your character won't display.

Yes... that show was deff a good one. At least they ended it at a good time before they ran it through the ringer and beat it to death (like how it happens to some good series').
