How large is your GT 5 Save??

[Dcdoz]

Hi guys not sure if this has been posted before....just wondering how much data GT5 users are using! mines is only 2672kb =='

I'll make a poll!! ^_^

 

[THEPUNISHER]

4731 kb

thats the last i checked it out , i will edit it out when i check it again .

P.S : that size means trouble .

Lols yeh I think anyone approaching the 5k mark must be waiting ages to backup their saves ><

Also about 2.7GB. I did a huge garage clean-up recently & got rid of a heck of a lot of cars. (Not interested in the 1000 car trophy, so many Mazdas, Toyotas, Hondas & Nissans were culled. lol!) Deleted all suits, horns & helmets. Also, I have only 1 saved replay of one almighty nascar wipeout. Now if I could just do something about those damned museum cards...

Just waiting to get to that stage to delete them after xD yeh omg the Mazda's MX-5's!!! So many of them!!! Stupid of me to try and collect them all haha. That sounds interesting have you uploaded it somewhere? lol you could send them to people in the marketplace quite a large interest for collecting those cards 💡

Really?? I heard there was bug involving large saves, that sucks!!

how much free space have you got in your PS3 HDD?
maybe try creating a temproary profile and copy over to it? then try backing up?
***Warning do not try and start the game in your new profile as it will delete it ***

 

[Darren.]

Yep there was. It was fixed over a year ago.

free space : 70 gb , that problem maybe developed after my psn+ membership expired .


speaking of deleting things i only encouraged to delete all my horns because horns in gt5 are really useless no unique or special ones .

 

[AerodyManiac]

~4000 KB, cuz I've got a lot of replays and photos (oh, and also cars )

Whoops, yeh I went off GT for like a year...because GT5 decided to crash whilst saving when entering a race and completely corrupted my HDD lost all saves
Contacted Sony they said send it in and we'll charge you to reformat it basically =='

Haha I only got a few replays of some of the tough Gold licenses...did plan to upload them but recording and uploading took forever!!! upload speed is soo slow ><'

Ooo..how many cars you have?? I just went past 750

 

[THEPUNISHER]

deos anyone here have more than 1500 cars ? i got 1480 cars i wonder how much damage / effects the save data size .

I save replays of everything, from nasty NASCAR crashes to Time Trial Hot Laps.
About cars... I don't know... I lost count of them... Maybe around 1350 now

Paints over 2000, as I don't usually use them (apart from Chromes, which I've got 10+).

 

[counter345]

How do you check?

 

[Dcdoz]

How do you check?

On the XMB --> Save data Utility --> GT5 save file --> press Triangle

 

[majyk]

How do you check?

Or; Options-->Utilities-->Determine size of installed files (probably takes longer)

My file size; 6,182MB this is total installed files. I thought accessing the file manager in the game would be for GT. I assume this includes all the DLC data.

My game save file is 4278kb.

 

[JacksHerer]

just got my ylod repair back and saved to usb stick lvl 39... 1504kb

1405 cars here. I hate going into standard section. Why can't the filter carry over from section to section? It would make loading times much faster, and a lot of those freeze-ups when in the garage online less likely.

lol theres only 600 odd standards in mine and i'm bugged about the loading times xD maybe favorite a good bunch of them??

 

[Flogger]

I have 1580 cars, and my save data is creeping up on 5Mb. That many cars makes online a pain, as the garage loads so slowly.

 

[F1]

Think mines is the smallest yet! 1.2mb/1200kb

 

[gorsad]

My file size; 6,182MB

Do you mean KB, cause MB would mean your file is 6.182 GB.

 

[Dcdoz]

My secondary Account has around 30 days 100+ cars is around 500kb

 

[Outeke]

Almost 7mb
1970 cars, 2700 paints, all museumcards, all horns, all birthday and level tickets and 157 tickets in the delivery truck....Oh and ~1000 gear (had to delete the rest because of item limits )

Had to change account to have a decend loading time on the save.

Now it's 480kb..8 cars in garage and at level 6! 👍

please tell me how did you get all museum cards .

 

[Dcdoz]

just be sure to sign in everyday, you'll eventually get them all, or if you are only missing a few there are tonnes of people in market place trading them.

i'v been signing in every day for 1 million year and i didn't get them all .


back on topic what is the best way to reduce save data size .

Guess Trading is the best way to complete them...

oh yeh Probably reducing the paints, gears and cars. Each item/car must be at least 1kb. I think replays and photos are saved elsewhere.

 

[xEnZo]

1129kb sounds like to much space to me compared to other games
