Massacre 7646 Report post Posted October 2, 2013 Apparently, there is a chance that GTA Online's issues could cause your save file to become corrupt. Now, this is coming from CVG, and they are, in fact, fucking retarded, but it would be a good idea to back up your save files, anyway. http://www.computerandvideogames.com/431689/gta-online-growing-reports-of-save-file-corruption-errors/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuPz0r 5361 Report post Posted October 2, 2013 Well we've already had a report of corrupted data from one of our own members. I reminded people in the launch topic to back up thier data also. Any fucked up data is on your own heads if you don't back up your shit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Massacre 7646 Report post Posted October 2, 2013 Make a fuckton of saves, then buy 26 flash drives and fill them with copies of your saves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zephyr1991 6 Report post Posted October 2, 2013 I mean, it kinda went better than most launches. I was able to play the game all day yesterday, but I guess in return we have to deal with data corruption chances instead of not being able to play online errors.

XXRevanXX 22 Report post Posted October 4, 2013 I'm not sure if there's any other topic to put this in, but I'll put it here. I was a level 14 and was doing a mission for about 5 hours. I accumulated about $100,000 dollars and got to rank 16 from a rank 14. My internet got shut down unexpectedly however and when I tried to log back on, I was at level 14 AGAIN right before I was about to start the mission. Does anybody know a fix to this crap... I didn't even keep my money either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
