So even after saving, it seemingly erased your progress up to that point? Or had you not saved the game at all before going to Open Lobby?
Sorry if my question seems like an obvious one, I just wanna get the details straight.
I had been playing on and off for quite a while, turning off the PS3 several times, etc, and it went straight back in with all my progression.
I started by going into the Open Lobby section, the first time it just hung immediately, after a good 5 mins, I turned it off, no problems,
I then retried it, got a list of lobbies, tried to join one, and it hung again, and again when I reset the PS3, it was all OK,
It was just when I tried to create a lobby, and it sat their saying "connecting to server", with the key tell tale being a "saving data..." appearing every 30 seconds or so, eventually I powered the PS3 off, and that's when it asked me for my language again, and clearly had reset.
As a test, I created a new character, and then tried the create lobby again, and the same thing happened (two corrupted files show under Game Save Data in the XMB)..
Finally I just created a new character, and haven't touched 'open lobby'..
I might format the PS3, re-install the game etc, and try again, something isn't right..
I also have (UK Copy from Shopto) the A-
Spec/A-
spec inconsistency on the GT Life menu (if that means anything).
The game updated to 1.01 before It installed the 'files' when I originally put the disk in the BR drive when it arrived yesterday.
