well, since i have the worst luck possible.... my file got corrupted due to a short power outage while saving.... so makeing events and races especially those for high end cars may be a little hard as i try to get back to where i was....just so ya know.... startin the game and seeing your garage empty, your lvls at 0 and only 20,000 credits.... it makes you sick to your stomach

I highly suggest getting a USB thumb drive to back-up your save file to avoid futur disasters. I'm sorry this happen to you. You are lucky you are with us. We can help you get your garage back to normal.

Let us know what you need LIR.

I have a few game saves going, so if you need any specific cars, I can send some your way.

LiR, I've sent you a friends request from my Car Lot account.

BlackJack and I've sent Minolta and ZR1 to LIR last night

Subject: Re: DISASTER!!!!!!! Tue Jan 11 2011, 16:15

5Card sent the Lotus 111R RM and PokerFace sent the Subaru STI '05 RM (hint for next week) to LIR.

Rumor has it....he likes pink cars...lol

Just so that we dont double up on gifted cars.

I sent him an Opal touring car, and Nascar #88.

Lambo and Ferrari to follow.

I had a thought, (albit rare) and need to see if it will work.

As soon as I can, I will bring a copy of my game file to AH's and see if I can transfer the file on to his system. If it works and shows all my cars and credits, then we can mail LiR a copy on a flash card and get him back up fast.

I know he's busy tonight, so it will have to be some other night. When I get a chance to try it, I'll let you know if it works.

I tried it on my PS3, it wont let you save to another I/D.

Subject: Re: DISASTER!!!!!!! Tue Jan 11 2011, 18:24

Well, it was a nice thought. How great of a cheat would that have been?!

Subject: Re: DISASTER!!!!!!! Tue Jan 11 2011, 18:58

Clever buggers these game designers, they dont want to make it too easy for us.

Subject: Re: DISASTER!!!!!!! Tue Jan 11 2011, 19:10

Even when you try that, you will get any dlc cars in your garage to start with. I attempted to put my file on my RIP name, gave me the error. Got to GT Life, 5 bonus cars(CE chrom cars) have been delivered to my garage. king

Another way to avoid the loss of data is to have the PS3 powered up through a Backup Power Supply and avoid the power surge and loss of data situation all together!!!
I learned my.... "PAINFUL Beat dead horse

LESSON".... years ago with GT4. I lost all my 94% completed game data when the power grid surged while saving!!!! *%$#?!(*$% ..... punch

Sorry LIR .......... I feel your pain!!! Shoot self

I want to Personally thank everyone for helping LIR out in his time of need by gifting him cars to help him get back on track. i was at college classes when this happened and when i got home and was taking him to work he calmly said " when i get home i have to start all over on gt5" i thought he was bs ing me.. i couldn't even imagine this unthinkable happening let alone him being so "calm" if it did happen to him. he is slowly getting his levels back ...although he's not at a 29 where he was yesterday morning and he is definatly not as rich as he was, he is getting there thanks to the help of the AWSOME RIPers!!!
Thanks so much again.
