Game data deleted itself?

[Chickenda6]

My game data deleted itself.

Luckily I backed it up this morning!

What will happen when I reinstall GT5 and use my backup save?

What will be lost?

Thanks

It isn't going to delete itself, ever. It's more like just corrupting.

But anyway, anything you did after backing up gets lost, obviously. Never mind, just realised it's game data. You can't back up a game data though...but your save will be completely fine no matter what update you're on. It's what triggers the Permanent Borrow Glitch.

If you install all current patches which are all integrated in your savegame, nothing will be lost I think

Not even save replays?

Thanks

Oh yeah, save replays, photos, tracks, they do get lost, but the main save does not.

You lose:

DLC (can be redownloaded)
Thumbnails
Photos
Tracks
a few other minor things like your install

Game data just saves your garage.

Make sure, if you're going to upgrade or format your hard drive, that you export all replays, photos, and tracks before you backup your main game data.

Get a cheap 500gig laptop hard drive. They're cheap. It's worth it.
