Of ALL the ****ed up things in this game I can live with most of them.
BUT NOW, I'm just so damn angry.
The game hanged, and the save got corrupted.
ALL the hours I have put in are gone.
Sure, BACKUP. But what the HELL.
HOW can they NOT fix a thing like this.
I don't know what to do.

I had the FGT :(
I would be GRATEFUL if someone could gift it to me aswell as fully loaded GT-R '07 and Corvette ZR1 (C6) RM '09.
Wouldn't feel like cheating since I EARNED it.
Lost lvl 30 B-spec :(

Well done with the backup! 👍

With so much bugs in this game, and a so long progression, backup is a must.

It is necessary to do a backup every day before play GT5 and keep backups of some days (in another machine, of course).
 
My save file got corrupted 2 weeks ago. Just turned level 31 myself then. Vettel challenge was almost done, only needed to get bronze on nurburg. Over 250 cars, over 200 hours of play time, pretty much every event and license gold.

All gone.


For about 2 days I contemplated just giving up and turning my back on the game, I was actually quite depressed for a while. But as any self-respecting gamer I started a new game.

Thanks to the seasonal events I'm back at level 28 atm. Bspec is trailing behind at level 10. I've pretty much completed all events, just haven't gotten gold on all of them so far. This actually, is the biggest problem I have. I just don't have it in me to sit there and repeat an event 40 times till I get gold.

Man, that hurts.
I was ONLY lvl 17 A-spec.
The most annoying thing is my FGT.
I don't wanna have to make another 5 mill for it.
Anyone that would help me out?

Is there any1 that got a save with A-spec around lvl 17 and B-spec around 30?
I would love if you could share that with me.
Preferably a save without any Licences done
 
Can someone please explain what The game hanged, and the save got corrupted. means?Also how can we back up our games?With usb?

What is means is:
I was taking cars from the Car Delivery.
After selecting one it saves the game, but it didn't finish.
Nothing happened when I pressed PS button.
I had to turn it off at the back.
When I came back into GT5 a new save was created.

AND YES, you can backup to a USB-memory that is FAT32

Anyone that can gift me the FGT, GT-R 07 and ZR1 RM (all fully tuned).
 
I backup daily now. I don't trust the game (nor what the game has apparently done to systems) and have put WAY too much effort into this game to lose it all. I'd kill something, I am sure, if I lost everything at this point. I would at least never play GT again though.
 
This i why i backup almost every day, im seriously considering buying another thumbdrive for safety and backup every other day and leave it on the counter.

Never use the switch. Always use the button on the front. That could've been your cause right there. Sorry to hear about your situation. Maybe you;ll have fun beating the events again.

Yes, i agree. The back switch is only to cut the power in a stand by console,
preventing damage if the power fluctuates.
 
i really don't know why you bother to plead for donations, this has happened to about 20% of the community.
'oh please give me my FGT that I lost'
if you come on this forum more than once, you'll know its common knowledge to backup constantly - therefore its your own fault.
I am sorry for your lose, back in the PS2 days this would happen to me all the time didn't expect it to happen in this gen, infact this is the first game were I have heard it happening often.

Why isn't there an option to turn auto-save off!

Honestly, I haven't seen anyone writing about it here before.
Also, NO it's NOT MY FAULT that it got corrupted, it's something to do how the PS3 works and how PD programmed GT5.
Why shouldn't I ask for it, the FGT?
Please refrain from writing BS.

You didn't even read my post, I understand that it wasn't your fault that it got corrupted But I was saying that its your own fault for not backing up, you are clearly aware you can, no excuse?

this is not BS, if you want me to show you the countless threads about data corruption I will. Your not the only one who as had this happen to them, all I was saying was its unlikely anyone will give you any car if you plead like that.

Like people have been saying, BACKUP your saves. I learned the hard way myself when I lost 26 A-Spec and 39 B-Spec a month back. A system backup of your PS3 (Every week or so) and a save backup (Every day) will ensure nothing is ever lost.

Now for what's highlighted in bold.
Begging for cars after a profile loss isn't good for the health of GTP and your reconition. None of us really know yet if you lost your profile or not.

thank you! according to OP telling people not to beg for cars is BS...

Well, if that's the way people feel, sure then DON'T do it.
I just feel like I got screwed by PD/Sony and was hoping someone here would spare me the grinding I will have to ALL over again.

I mean, sure, I SHOULD have made a backup, but I didn't and now I'm trying to recover somehow.

AGAIN, the way you wrote, is wrong by LOGIC.
The game save didn't get corrupted by me NOT making a backup.
 
I am not going to argue about my logic

I am sorry that this happened, but the only thing anyone can do for you is just tell you how to prevent it in the future
 
FGT is in online dealership yes? You can get it in 2-3 hours by doing seasonals alone. Just send the race cars needed for the seasonals to a second account. Get 5+million and level 24, buy FGT, then trade for the correct color.

You might also consider backing up account 2 and duplicating cars, paints, etc.

Sorry To Hear
i can send you my FGT if you still want it

That's the whole thing, I won't do that, cause I think it ruins the game.
But since I actually HAD those cars I'm merely recovering what I already have achieved
 
Backup

this might help (sarcasm) anyway, I do it every week, every day would be like digging grave for yourself thinkink I might die now or a bit later.. lol 👍
 
Okay, I will be doing a backup from now. Just started my PS3 and lost all my gamedata. I never lost gamedata on my ps2 and ps3, this is not normal, this game has some serious flaws. Sadly i have not that much time to play, it's going to take my weeks to make some progress.
 
Backup always seems like an afterthought, until it happens to YOU. Then you start to get the point!

But, I'm sorry, but in this day and age, anything whatsoever with a memory should be backed up regularly, and anyone that doesn't know this basic tenet shouldn't be allowed an electronic device! This is like saying wipe your butt after you take a dump! If you don't know this, ask your Mommy and Daddy...!

Ahh that is painfull i try to backup my data everytime i do or get somwthing worth losing.
 
You'd be better off asking people to lend/send you cars you can do seasonal events in, level up to 24 and get the FGT. Not sure how many levels one set of SE's will raise you but I imagine it's a few... Start now and you have the two sets currently available and the set that's coming out tomorrow (2am on the 26th here, new ones out 3am tomorrow).

I guess there's plenty of dupers who'd probably help you out as it costs them nothing, but I dunno, I personally would prefer doing it myself and paying money for the FGT.

Oh and the FGT isn't exactly the 'wow' car it once was now that you can buy one whenever you want, and the money involved isn't a great deal thanks to the SE's. Can't you make like 7 million from doing the two sets that are available now?

Edit: I'll gladly send you one of the cheaper cars for the Seasonal Events, PM me. I can't give you my DTM car, though, but I have all the Super GTs
 
Man, I feel sick every time I see a thread like this. Which reminds me, I haven't backed up my main save for a week.

Cheapest if you don't feel like "cheating" your way through seasonals is to start with the Golf event on Week 4 before it closes. That gives you enough money to buy a car for one of the Week 5 seasonals... or the iMiev. You'll earn more than enough money after one or two for the Lexus racecar, which nets you 1.5m plus change after that race. Have a second account just for seasonals and time trials. Just started, and two seasonals, no other races, got that account up to Level 18. It's not inconceivable to hit the mid-20s from scratch in the Seasonals, after which you can go back and race enduros for the rest of what you need.
