gtaivlstgm said: Hi guys new to the forum. I have been playing GTA non stop, and saved it last night after playing everything was fine. Came back today to play and the data wasn't there to load the file was gone. So i checked the saved game data from the ps3 menu and it had a corrupted file there and it was the gtaiv file. So now i can't play from where i was and i have fairly close to the end so i don't want to start again cos i haven't got the patience to redo most of the missions.

I just completed Buoys Ahoy for bernie and got a call from gerry in the prison to go to him. So haven't started his prison missions yet and about to do the second mission from Pegorino. If anyone has a saved game around this please post it or send it to me i would be so greatful!!! thanks for any help guys!! =)

Also i think this is a result of me switching the ps3 off at the back without actually turning it off first. Stupid i know but everyone learn from my mistake because it can cause data loss and corruption!! BE CAREFULL!!!

shortman said: don't turn off when it says saving don't turn off the system. turning off at the switch doesnt matter as long as its not saving loading or installing while youre doing it. the data is corrupted because it has to save the whole file again and if it is in the middle of saving and you turn it off, the save was only half complete and the half of the data is useless
