Save files not loading

Recommended Posts

Apologies if there's already a topic about this (couldn't find one).

Its a bit odd - I accidentally dropped my copy of GTA V the other night (well the case to be exact but the disc was 'loose') and now I can't seem to load my single player save file. I made another save but I can't load that either. However, it still loads my autosave file and it still loads GTA Online without any problems.

There have been a couple of issues I've had with my PS3 failry recently where it didn't shut down/switch off 'correctly', so could it be that my save files have become corrupted or could it be due to the damage to the disc (although there's no scratches/scuffs)?

I can easily get the disc replaced if needs be as at launch GAME offered £1 disc cover - if it gets damaged they'll replace it for free (12 month cover).

I've had this issue since the holiday gifts update. I've seen a couple posts about it from gamers on Rockstar Support but nothing from Rockstar themselves about it. I would've thought this would be a higher priority item.

For me, unplugging the internet before and during the loading sequence works (or did the last time I tried it) but I've seen some people say disconnecting the internet doesn't work either.

Does this only happen with GTAV or with other games too?

Only with GTA V.

When I try to load one of my manual saves it just gets stuck on the artwork screen with the loading icon spinning round at the bottom - also the 'music' eventually stops playing.

Also, and I'm not sure whether this is related or not, but I can't invest in any companies with Michael on Bawsaq. I go to confirm my investment but it doesn't take any money out of Michael's balance, yet works ok for Franklin and Trevor.

I had a similar problem. Yeah, something definitely broke when they did the holiday update. I raised the matter in a ticket to R* a few weeks ago, but never heard anything back. The problem seemed to fix itself for me not long ago, but it's disappointing that it seems to reappeared. I suggest getting on to Rockstar, and see if you get a better response/resolution.

i have the same issue... the only way i can load a save is if i restart the game while offline... then it let's me... but once i do that, i can't load it again... like fitty said, this issue arose when they released the snow patch as that is the last one we've gotten...

I've not noticed this happen to me. But i do have about 10 different save files, and i've backed up at least two onto a usb when i got a new PS3 in December.

I always load into single player to get to online, and i've made a couple of new saves from my autosave. Have you tried doing that?

Yep but still the same unfortunately. The only save file that will load is my autosave.
