Characters Are Disappearing from Grand Theft Auto Online

Characters Are Disappearing from Grand Theft Auto Online

Rockstar has been receiving reports about mysteriously disappearing characters, items, apartments, money, and rank in Grand Theft Auto Online . No, it’s not aliens… what do you think this is? Saints Row IV ? (Although, those Deep Silver folks can be awfully sneaky .)

According to the folks at Rockstar, they are trying to discern the cause of this strange error. At this point, they have fixed most of the day-one issues that GTA Online has been experiencing , but according to fans, this strange bug continues to occur. Rockstar’s Team has promised to do its best to restore lost progress and value. An official statement on the issue will be posted when it is fixed.

One possible theory is that players were playing the game when the Rockstar cloud services were down. This was one of the biggest issues in the early days of the game, and  is likely to have caused some confusion. Though you can play online even when the cloud is down, you are only playing a temporary character and cannot save. Therefore, any progress you make will be wiped the next time you log on. If you want to save your progress, you need to wait until the Rockstar Cloud services are online.

In addition, Rockstar urges you to choose to pause the game and return to single-player when quitting GTA Online . This will force a save, whereas simply turning your console off will not. It will ensure that progress is recorded from the last auto save.
