Level 149, fully modded 10 car garage, apartment and 1.8million all legit (I feel the need to say legit since some players I hear over mic. seem to think it questionable that anyone would be prepared to actually play the game to achieve). Anyways....All gone, due, I'm guessing, to a bad save by the mighty cloud server and I can no longer connect to online GTA on my traksta1 account by any method. In fact choosing to go online from the pause menu will lock my ps3 requiring a hard shutdown.
Since I don't hold much hope of Rockstar fixing it I have begun a new toon on my "other" shibumi-one ps3 account but obviously he is poverty stricken, driving a shed and licensed to use a catapult only. Also he has turned out looking like an undernourished vietnamese teen. The fact that he appears to be 4 foot tall should make him harder to hit during the shooty bits but is'nt really doing it for me.aestetically (not that I have any prejudice toward undernourished vietnamese teen dwarves that may be reading this, I just did'nt want to look like one thanks). Therefore his ability to compete with you all as I was hoping to do, is severely limited. My apologies.
With the newish ingame "economy" that we have now I think it will be some time before he will have a raceworthy garage (imissmyentityboohoo). There is also the question of whether I have the heart left to grind it all out again. We will see.
Wishing you all an at least satisfactory Crimblemuss n 2014

I don't think this is really a "loss of character" as I have read others describe it. It is a loss of any online functionality on that account. When I tried to "force" it onto online by choosing the "join a friend" option (that was you that was) a brief message came up saying something about failing to find save or suchlike, before getting an infinite loading screen. P.S Yes I have submitted an all official like report to the appropriate recipients.  P.P.S I can still do "custom off " races!! 8) |

Dude that is rough. When i lost my first character early on i was still able to attemptto log on with him and after several attempts i managed to get lucky and have him log on with the previous level and apt but all the cars, money and stats were gone. I took the hit and decided it was better than starting over and rolled with him from there. Your saying you cant log in at all though which tells me it might be something on your end corrupt rather than the server cloud. I would definately keep contacting them though...it is a lot to lose.
After being robbed like that though you might not feel so bad about hanging around in freemode and waiting for one of the rampant christmas gifts to at least get you started i guess.

TA for commiserations Luap. I am fortunate in having two ps3's with the same account. Same on that one. deleted all game data (several times)re-downloaded after file and database rebuild from ps3 safemode (several times). Other accounts fine, all other games fine. I can't quite see it as being at my end, so to speak. My p.s, via that account only, I am confident, is sending a call to go online to a switchboard that says "no such number".

Whatever you do, DO NOT create a new character. Get in touch with R* and see what they say.
Any attempts at making new characters will null and void your old ones forever.

That is harsh, Ash is right if you make another character on that account you'll lose your other one for good.
I lost all my cars a while ago and i was wounded so i went to LSC and the nice man who works there gave me 5 mill to get them back

As menched previously, there is no online on that account at all at all in gta5, so could not create a char if''n i wanted to and I have used the official method of reporting the problem to Rockstar. Interweb word seems to be that I should not hold my breath for anything other than the automated response encouraging one to dismantle everything on ones console/modem/interwebnet and feed the cat before they have a look up thier own clouds/servers/clever gizmos for a problem. Time will tell. It's a Great game in many many ways but that hurt.

Let's get technical and try to decipher if it's a system problem or a Rockstar problem.
Can you run the Playstation Network Test and see how that goes?
How does your character look when logging into Social Club on Rockstar?
How does your Playstation 3 handle a different online games settings? I.E - Can you log on and play a different game successfully online?
Post results and that might help us to figure it out.
It could just be your playstation being a poo, or it could be something bigger.
Let us know how you go!

Righty ho Ashleyman. Have just this very sec done Playstation Network Test. All normal fine and technically dandy. Nat 2, 24 of the big ones down 2 up. All other games ability on that account or other accounts ability to go online unaffected on either of my ps3's.
Also just checked his photo on socialclub. He is as I left him.
The timing of the event may help. I have described them in my official report thingy to Rockstar. I had just finalised a second created race and verified it thus making it available to all and sundry on the *RSC. page (That is still there by the way. Just checked). Then, as per normal, I exited the race creator to the option "return to gta V" rather than "return to GTA Online believing that it might chuck me into freeroam which is no place for someone that cant shoot. From story mode I used pause menu to take me back online to try my new creation in my cars instead of creators standard issue, to be met with virtually immediate freeze within 2 seconds of orange twirly icon starting. Attempting to enter online on disc start up is an infinitely loading screen which I can at least escape from with PS button , quit game? yes please.
K, I'm off to burn some cheap non bulletproof rubber for a bit. Ta for responses.

You say you have multiple PS3's?
Try to log into your PSN account from Playstation #2 (unaffected), then try and get online with GTA V. Does it work or do you still get the loading screens?
You could also try going;
Going into single player then >start > online > join game or whatever
Going into single player then >start > online > join friends
Going into single player then >start > online > join crew
Or try going Going into single player and trying to Host a job straight from Single player?
I'm thinking it sounds a bit like a corrupt save rather than a lost save.
I had something similar to you, as in I couldn't get online but my character was still showing on Social Club. I just gave it a few trys with different methods (i like to press buttons and see how I go!) and eventually it kicked me into a game and I'm still here to this day.
I SO hope that you haven't lost your character buddy.

Long story short.
Main account still utterly broke re GTAO
second "emergency" account with newly created perfectly operating character develops exact same freezing as Main acc!!!
On a whim, removed the two Main account created tracks I had added in between the good and bad sessions to second accounts games list from Main accounts created content on Rockstars social club page.
Secondary account resumes normal service!!!.
Further fiddling found that I could import one or other of the created races to second account without any problem. Importing both would always result in second account freezing as Main does
Main account still utterly broke re GTAO.
Well colour/color me confused!
Happy Easter All!

May be dumb question as you sound pretty on top of things but is there any way to delete the tracks you made on the main...maybe through website or direct request through rockstar or something...sounds like they are the issue. It is BETA and you would be pointing out a potentially catastrophic bug that you could work out with them...maybe get something out of the deal.

definitely second luaps comments, seems that one of the created tracks is causing that loading loop, deleting it might solve the problem but i doubt you can do that wihtout an R* Support ticket...

GTAO was doing funny shit the last 24 hours, removing all my friends not letting me get online and when I finally did it was laggy as hell (floating cars, repeatedly shooting someone and they would not die)
I can't promise all will be OK but I think some serious shit happened on the servers last night (maybe all the Xmas noobs put extra strain on the servers as what happened in the first few days of online going live) either way R* again have been left with egg on their face !!

I saw some people complaining in GTAF also but it all seemed to be PS3 side. I was on all day yesterday with no issues at all aside from lake of crewmates around. |

Agree with what you say Luap. Not possible to delete created content from *RSC oneself that I can see.
I have already submitted a support ticket which I will update a little later as I too believe my problem may interest the powers that be since it seems to be related to creator saves . A support ticket is the most direct way I know of to get their attention but I feel a little lost and likely unnoticed waving only that in the complete ****storm that is GTAO at the moment. Can you think of a more direct way to contact them?. My feeling is that 5 minutes with a keyboard by an individual that knows stuff would get this sorted and then they can work out why it happened and benefit from the knowledge for what you rightly point out is a beta project. I just want my geezer back.
The iffy net flagged by other users last night was/is a PSN thing and not connected to my difficulties at all.
As an aside to all this, If you are beginning a new character and would like company and/or assistance with legit game progress on ps3 UK time. Then feel free to add my Asian, vertically and financially challenged vagabond via my psn id: shibumi-one. Just a thought.

banhammer@rockstargames.com might be a good lead. It's an email account that they monitor.

Just a little update for this. I have at last received a reply from a human at *RSTAR concerning my inability to connect Online with my main account. O.K, it wasn't very helpful and ignored absolutely everything I have mentioned in tickets and replies to date, but hey!. A human!. Now if I can just get him to put in a fraction of the effort I have to try and fix the problem I'm sure we'll be good to go.
Also, Shibumi-one hit his first million yesterday and celebrated by buying a nice little apt. and his first car, an Entity. He is now broke again and according to my math it will take about 5 months to get back the cash I had amassed on my original account. That's about £93 in shark cards I have been bumped out of *RSTAR!.

Well, well, unbelievably well!. *Rockstar have eventually done what I asked and deleted what I believed to be an "iffy"save from my mains account at their end and now he is back!. Fully functional, legitimately comfortably off and with his fully loaded garage. I'm a happy old bunny today. I will resend friend requests asap from my Traksta1 account to all of shibumi-one's friends or you can send him one to speed things up. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! |

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! now thats pretty epic... i beleive i deleted Traksta1 from my FL on the presumption that he was likely dead and buried (as far as GTAV is concerned at least) seems R* do have the ability of necromancy after all....

Refuso, No, Traks is just as keen for cash but equally as hopeless as shib for some reason. He does have better stuff to be bad with though. Catch u l8r. Yes Mo, delete traks u did. Will be sending out re-friending requests asap. |

That's great news, Shibumi - it must be a relief. It's just a pity it took Rockstar so long.

Wow...imagine if you had not been playing on a nee character...damn that was slow.
So we were right about the saved creation?
Good to hear they did eventually make you right.
