Any idea on getting characters back?

If he is gone on the Social Club then he is gone for good sadly... I had to remake one of mine recently, not too much of a big deal though on my part, i didn't have much

 

EDIT: If they are showing up on Social Club still, its a cloud server issue, just wait a while and your character should be back.

Idk but I think a lot of people including myself, will be very disappointed when R* finally fixes the issues only to have them say something like "We're sorry but some characters could not be restored blah, blah, blah" or something along those lines. Which means a majority of people who lost characters will probably be f*cked.

I think if you have a lot of money left, but everything else is gone, just wait it out a bit and see what Rockstar comes up with - rather than creating a new character. As said on the support site...

"Also, we have not forgotten about the requests for restoration. We are in the process of determining the options for addressing the issues for those players who have been affected. Please stay tuned for further updates here."

Yea my money is showing up in the bank, but no character profile. I decided to make a new character yesterday, but of course remembered since the cloud is offline, nothing is saving. Got 4 hours in.... saved and came back a day later to that character being completely gone. I can't make a new character on the first slot though, so I am assuming that character still exists.

Lost a guy last night. SCsaid my 65k or so was still there. Part way through tutorial race i switched to big HUD map & noticed bank said 8.5k so i shut down. Going to check after dinner to see if character is back (doubtful as RP & pic gone from SC) and if not, possibly start a new guy to see if my banked cash is correct.

My advice:

 

Don't create a new character at all. If you want a temporary character to use while Rockstar works on getting your old character back, assuming they can, use a differenr slot than the one your original character was on.

 

Currently I'm playing story mode, trying to get used to being full free aim rather than being 70% free aim and 30% auto aim.

 

My character is back, just don't create a character over your previous character slot and you will get it back.

 

 

When did it come back?

I'm not sure, Adriaan, I lost my character on Friday and haven't logged back in since today, so I cant give you an exact day but it was either Saturday, Sunday or Monday.

Same thing with me and many more. I'm just going to wait it out, I'm afraid that if I make a new character I won't get my old one back. It sucks cause I can't play and I have so much free time right now

Do you press retry when the "cloud servers unavailable" message showed up ?

 

When I logged in I saw my character got deleted so I didn't play it for 3 or 4 days and when I logged back in my character was there. But yes I do press retry and eventually it gets me into a game but that isn't how I got my character back, he just turned up after a few days.

Thanks for the heads up RED, I'll keep waiting too I guess.

 

Fingers crossed. And good to hear some people's characters are showing up again.

My characters money stats are still there, codes that count as him being lost?

Is his model/picture and everything still there? if only his bank and stats are there then he is gone =-\

 

 

How would you know that for sure?

 

I remember R* saying something about it on Twitter, not sure where though. Plus if it shows the R* cloud servers are down make sure you don't do anything. Don't even hit retry. Thats quoted from one of the loading screen pop up's when loading a Online session
