GTA Online: Lost characters cannot be restored

4.3
Vanishing characters resulting from GTAV connection errors are gone forever

Any characters lost during Grand Theft Auto Online's initial teething problems cannot be restored, Rockstar has confirmed.

The developer revealed the news in an update on its Support Page, confirming that Online characters that disappeared during the game's launch problems cannot be recovered.

GTA Online has undergone connection issues since it went live on October 1.

According to Rockstar, the 'cash stimulus package' it announced last Friday (offering players $500,000 of in-game cash each) is intended to be some consolation for the progress and characters lost during that period.

The statement on the site reads:

"Given some of the recent technical issues during these first days of GTA Online, and now that things are starting to look much smoother (touch wood!), we are planning to provide a special stimulus package for all who have played or will play Grand Theft Auto Online this month.

"We will be dropping a cool half a million GTA$ in the GTA Online bank accounts of all players this month, starting as early as next week.

"For those asking about their lost characters or rank, those will not be able to be restored so we sincerely hope that this cash stimulus we're giving out this month will help you get back on your feet or to make your new life in Los Santos & Blaine extra sweet."

Woobie I'd be pretty upset if I lost a good character.. I lost a level 3 so it was no big deal for me.


I would of been expecting rockstar to find a way to recover my lost character if this where to happen to me. too bad that this is not possible

I luckily didn't loose any characters due to this bug. It really sucks for people who where effected by this though as it really shouldn't of happened in the first place
