Does this work (Character deletion fix)?

[KillaDanny]

Rockstar posted this and I tried and didn't work but wondering if it works for anybody else

 

Updated 10/8/13: If you have previously created a character but see an empty character selection screen when entering GTA Online, please back out to GTAV Story Mode and try re-entering GTA Online through the pause menu (repeat or wait until Rockstar cloud servers are back up). Do not create a new character in the empty slot where your character should be.

If you receive the message 'The Rockstar Cloud Servers Are Unavailable', please return to GTAV Story Mode and follow the steps above. Please do not press “Retry” on the message and do not proceed online with saving disabled, as this may lead to overwriting your existing character.

I have had a couple of empty slots before but its always turned back up.

 

Because i use my Right slot for my main Character and if it goes tits up i use the left Slot.

 

Touch wood i aint lost anything other than 8/10,000 a day when signing in because of the stupid mechanic charges

Had both my slots clean since i lost my level 28, tried those steps as a caution before they even mentioned it.

 

3 days later, still characterless

I have been doing this since day one and I haven't lost anything. Also, if I join a game and somethign is missing (once I had lost my apartment and was back in my old garage) i just quit out to the dashboard so that nothing would save when I exited. (I made sure not to do anything that would cause an autosave either, just exited to dash immediately).

 

When I came back in, I had my apartment back. I've never lost anything.

Of course it doesn't work.

I can come up with useless sh*tty tips on "how to get your character back again" too. That's what Rockstar is doing - f*ck all, trying to pretend that they are trying to help.
