Just a friendly reminder to everyone to backup your save games,

I just lost everything (corrupt save file) even the file I had saved on a usb was corrupt.

cheers

Do you know how the USB save became corrupt? I usually back up once a week in the belief that it will save me from this problem but if the USB save can be corrupted to that does get me a little worried. I'm thinking I'll have to make multiple saves on a few different hard drives.
 
I also had a save file on my computer I did all the backups last night went to play the game and now there all corrupt :ouch:
 
That sucks. It must have been corrupt the last time you backed everything up.
 
Yeah I think that was the problem. lvl35 apsec lvl32 bspec 500 cars gone, I'm not sure if i'll bother starting again.

Has anyone had this happen to them if so did you start all over again.
 
Well you would have to, wouldn't you?

I'll send you a fully tuned 458 Italia so you can do the 504 k seasonal on la sarthe ;)
 
Hi Mught,
It happened to me about a month ago. Send me a friend request (PSN:TonyLomas) and I'll send you a couple of cars. With the seasonals you can soon get back where you were. And in some ways it's more fun second time round because you already have some of the trophies so you can pick and choose what you want to do.
 
cheers guys friend request being sent now
 
OK, it'll be about 2 1/2 hours before I can get online but I'll sort you out with some then.
 
cheers guys friend request being sent now

I'll be online in less than an half hour ;)

I haven't received your request maybe because I've reached max friends, try now mate

You can add me too, I can send you a lot of cars, just say which you would like to have. My psn is alexpkas.
 
Send FR to zegtolfman ill send a car of your choice when i can and you can use my shared cars.
 
That is just awful that it even let you save a file that was already corrupt, is there really any point in backing up GT5 data now!


:(

Yes I had a complete hard drive failure. 👎
I was around the same as you as well.
But to answer yes I started again and now i'm Level 40 for A and B spec.
It was alot easier to get through the game the second time because I knew what I needed for each event so it saved me alot of credits because I bought only the cars I needed in the beginning.
 
Pal, I think your PS3 HDD is the problem and probably your "corrupted" saves will work in a new HDD. Why don't you try that?

Yep, it happened to me 4-5 months ago, while i was lvl A-31 and B-37. I also had a corrupted file both on my Ps3 hard drive and on my USB stick...

To be honest with you, I had a lot more fun when I started the game the second time around, since I had nothing to lose :) and nothing to prove to myself either I guess : I enjoyed each and every race i've done since then.

However, I got some great help from GTP friends to help me get back on my feet quickly... send me a FR and I'll share/send the cars you need.

Ouch...Bro if you need any car from the dealership just add me and send friend request. Will send you the car.
 
thankyou very much to everyone willing to help me get started again, friend requests will be sent later on now it's off to work
 
I always use to back my save to a USB stick after playing, now I just save to online via psn+.
 
Thank you to everyone that helped me get back on track, it good to know there are decent people left in this world, especially on this forum.
 
If you can be bothered doing the borrow glitch I have some cars up you could copy.👍 Robabza1 I will accept fr when the patches are reinstalled.I lost about double the cars you had about 3 weeks ago so I feel your pain.(A-spec and B-Spec both at 38)
 
Nice to see the generosity in this forum, there are still some nice people out there 👍
 
I'm happy to copy and set any cars online.👍
 
add me as well, i keep a few cars set online for friends to do seasonals.
