Looping When Trying To Load Game After 2.10 Udate *FIXED*

Are you having the looping problems after 2.10 update

Worthy of note....
I had a car I couldn't get into, just as everyone is saying. I updated to 2.10, and started a new game after backing up my save, thinking that maybe it would help. Then i copied my save back over and after it still looped, I deleted the data and updated just up to 2.09... and I am able to get into that car now....
 
Hey guys, i am from Germany.

On both of my ladys (fat and slim) i got the loop. Same savegame (that on the fat one is 200 game days younger) on both.

i read the hole thread from the start.
i have exactly the same problem.
2nd (us) account works fine, a Nascar (88 Dale Junior 2010) i can´t delete or something else on my main account.

i have a 2010 jeff gordon NASCAR that i cant delete it, share it or just drive it. This is a problem that all who suffer the loop, we have in common. not think there is better explanation for this. if somebody knows how to deal with the saved game data, Please enlighten us with your wisdom and post a tutorial that we can use to get out of this problem... XD :P
 
So nascars spoiled GT5 then?

Edit:
Now just needed someone who can decrypt savefile and delete those cars from there..

What I dont get is I have the Geoff Gordan Nascar and have no problems.

It looks like it is different cars for each person affected. There is obviously something weird that has happened when the car(s) in question were acquired that corrupted the data for that car, which hasn't been an issue until now. The game cant cope with something in the update with the PP calculations.
 
I have all NASCAR cars on my other account, and I have no issues whatsoever, here is a list of NASCAR cars I have :

2010

Kyle Busch 18 Camry 0/0/0 - tested usable 1/0/0
Brian Vickers 83 Camry 0/0/0 - tested usable 1/0/0
Dale Earnhardt Jr 88 Impala 0/0/0 - tested usable 1/0/0
Carl Edwards 99 Fusion 0/0/0 - tested usable 1/0/0
AJ Allmendinger 43 Fusion 0/0/0 - tested usable 1/0/0
Juan Montoya 42 Impala 0/0/0 - tested usable 1/0/0
Joey Logano 20 Camry 0/0/0 - tested usable 1/0/0
Denny Hamlin 11 Camry 0/0/0 - tested usable 1/0/0
Jimmie Johnson 48 Impala 0/0/0 - tested usable 1/0/0
Jeff Gordon 24 Impala - 4000+miles - tested usable
Tony Stewart 14 Impala 0/0/0 - tested usable 1/0/0

2011

AJ Allmendinger 43 Fusion 0/0/0 - tested usable 1/0/0
Jeff Gordon 24 Impala 0/0/0 - tested usable 1/0/0
Brian Vickers 83 Camry 0/0/0 - tested usable 1/0/0
Carl Edwards 99 Fusion 0/0/0 - tested usable 1/0/0
Kyle Busch 18 Camry 0/0/0 - tested usable 1/0/0
Denny Hamlin 11 Camry 0/0/0 - tested usable 1/0/0
Dale Earnhardt Jr 88 Impala 0/0/0 - tested usable 1/0/0
Tony Stewart 14 Impala - the only car with 565PP 0/0/0 - tested usable 1/0/0
Juan Montoya 42 Impala 0/0/0 - tested usable 1/0/0
Jimmie Johnson 48 Impala 0/0/0 - tested usable 1/0/0
Joey Logano 20 Camry 0/0/0 - tested usable 1/0/0

All cars are 564PP, except 2011 Tony Stewart 14 Impala at 565 PP brand new 0/0/0, most are bought in 2011 and some in 2012 0/0/0 before update to 2.10.
Jeff Gordon 2010 24 Impala obtained as a prize in 2010 with many wins at 568PP ( just a few weeks after release day in December )

It makes me wonder why not all those who have NASCAR cars have the loop issue, we need to find the real cause that makes some of these NASCAR cars becomes unusable.

Is there a case of unusable cars other than NASCAR cars ?
 
Hi guys.

I enter in my game with 2.07 (academy versión...yes I buyed a new one to save me to wait 2h of downloads)
I still having a locked car : Nissan 240ZG (HS30) '71 in brown

I can't enter, choice or sell. Is completly locked.

Like some people says about looping screen is while the game is updating the modified PP's for the cars, maybe for that corrupted car the game can't modify and update.

What do you think? How to delete the car?

Anyone with that car or another locked car?

I have the loop problem and also have a car I can't drive/delete. An r8 5.2 for some reason its 714pp...

mine is ford gt, i think

Pretty sure it is not unique to the nascars, or any type of car in particular. It is just that something in the system sneezed when the car in question was acquired.
 
I have several different region account in which I play GT5 on, generally for duping ( US, AU, HK, and JP ), 2 of them have more than 1000 cars, none of them have any looping issue or unusable car .... there must be something in common to those who have the loop issue. I have wired connection, PS3 1st gen slim from 2009, 4.31.
 
Ok, as I said before, it is NOT limited to just NASCAR cars being the cars that are corrupt. I have had people pm me listing other cars besides NASCAR cars being the cars they can't get into so the useless posts about it being Jeff Gordons fault or that NASCAR has ruined GT can just stop. Earlier in the thread a few people even listed different cars besides NASCAR cars being cars they couldn't delete. So again, it is NOT just limited to NASCAR cars. It can be any car that has the problem, mine just happen to be NASCAR cars.

As for trying different discs, done that. I have 3, all in perfect condition but tried them all anyway.

Bottom line is we need to find a way to get these cars off of the effected accounts or wait for a patch. I have talked to a few of my more tech savvy friends and the only way to get rid of these offending cars is to gat into the gamesave files like our friend Sorge has done and you have to have a special program to do so. There is no other way to get rid of these cars.

So, to sum it up, it is not limited to just being NASCAR cars as being the culprit. It can be any car. Sorry if I sound a bit gruff, but I even stated before that it is not limited to just being NASCAR cars as being the culprit here but yet still get posts from people with the mindset that it is just those cars causing the problem. Please guys, read the thread before posting so I don't have to keep repeating myself.
 
^ Seems drastic.

Has anyone used the GT5 bug reporter I remember seeing? If so, you'll likely get a patch that does what CargoRat just mentioned, without having to do it... And risk messing up a file.

Yes, like I said before, it looks like we all have these "undeletable" cars on our accounts. That is the common ground between us all. You're posting like you are not reading anything I have said so far.:)

What I meant was the cause of undeletable cars - a glitch, something with the 2.09 save or just bad luck ?.... why does the majority have none of this undeletable car issue, I have so many accounts and none of them having issue with 2.10, like I mentioned earlier, 2 of them have more than 1000 cars, one of them have all premiums and almost all standard cars.
 
I keep hearing people say go back to 2.09 and others stating they have gone back to 2.00 becuase they have the new academy disc?

Well just a thought go back to basics. Thats before any update came out when there was only the one disc out.
Once there when you deleted your game data. Load save see if you get chance to delete the cars that can not be deleted? (Will have to be performed offline.)

If not, update one update at a time and try again to delete the Undeletable cars, While in there try other things to modify the car by what ever means? (Thats if you can get in the car on an earlier update?)

Anyway its just a thought if any one wishes to try.
Chat soon bye for now.:)

EDIT: While no one is certain when they got this undeletable car here is the link to all updates that have gone from day one?

I don't know why alot of people don't have these "ghost" cars or what caused them to be that way in the first place. All I know is that it is looking more and more like that is the issue here.

And, just fore reference, it was mentioned here earlier by two other members and their cars were not NASCAR cars.
https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?p=8012728#post8012728

Maybe when these cars were aquired, something happened in the save process or something, I'm just guessing. Another member has had one of these cars on his account from almost day one.

Let me stop you right there. You can;t go back any farther than 2.02 because when you do, this is what happens. It will load the game right up to the main GT Life screen, then quickly flash back to a black screen. It will not completly load so there is no way to do what you are saying. The furthest I was able to go and actually play, or get into my game, was 2.02.

Also, I tried what you suggested at every update. Still can't delete the car at any of the updates.
 
We have 2 options.

Find how to delete that cars or wait for a patch

To delete the cars are: go to the correct version of the game and delete it... Like imposible

I tried to went to the old version that my gamesave can join. After 2.00 the game wont open my savegame.

My opinion is that you buyed the car and for some reason when you update the car go lock. That was my reaction with my locked car. I remember to take my nissan and change the rims in GTauto. Then weeks later with a update the car go unable to take or delete.

I cant remember the update that lock my car but for sure its a problem of PD and needs to be fixed.

Well its highly probable then that the undeletable car appeared before 2.02 since thats the furthest you can go back? (Meaning you cannot do nothing in an attempt to get rid of the offending article?)
And I should of know with remembering the spongey glitch they fixed something in an update so it counter acted going back further?
Oh well I guess its the patch.
Chat soon bye for now.:)
 
Thats pretty much what I just said. Any any update below 2.02, it will not completely load the game. It will just flash at the Home screen. I was able to load and play thr game from update 2.02 onwards. Anything below that, the game won't load.

Wow your in a grumpy mood today mate.:(
I guess I will keep my advice instead of trying to help.
Its just I have seen you have ago at a few in thread when people are just trying to help.:)
Catch you later bye for now.:)

EDIT: After reading the last few posts, I can tell you that it is not an un-deletable car that could be causing the issue. I say this because on one of my many trips yesturday back to 2.09, I was able to delete all of my cars except of course the one I was in which I bought new just for making the new gamesave. Still had the looping with no cars in my garage. I stated this before when I done it, perhaps you just overlooked that experiment. Anyways, not the issue guys, sorry.

Im gonna to try one thing. I want to delete all DLC cars of my savegame to try to open in a old version.
Tracks are not saved in savegame, tracks are installed by PSN and allowed in the game when you download the 100kb file from store.
I will try and tell us what happen.
Yesterday I open my savegame in 1.00 but nothing can do. The game was locked in the menu of GT (not the first one, the menu with a spec bspec etc...)

Like I said, sorry if I come off a bit gruff, but it just seems like I have to keep repeating myself because people don't read the thread before posting, thats all. Not having a go at anyone here, but I just seem to have to keep repeating things that I have said before or that have been posted before and it just gets a little frustrating. Nothing against anybody here and I appreciate the help, but please read before posting, thats all I ask.

@christara321: My response in post #410 wasn't directed at you my friend. It was towards zephyrus because he just echoed what I already said.

EDIT: And, I was referring to posts like this: "So it's Geoff Gordon's fault. Well to Geoff, "Ready?"
That is NOT trying to help and that is what frustrates me and plus it was said before that it was not just limited to NASCAR cars being the culprit here.

What happens if you try to buy these affected cars again? Does the game let you do that? Is it worth a speculative try just to see?

I just tried that with Cargo's save a few minutes ago, it let's you and you can use them but it doesn't change anything with the other one in the garage.

No worrys mate if I had lost a couple of years work in a game I would be a little angered.
But my suggestion would be to collate all the information thats gone beforehand and edit the OP. I know its a bit of work but if its clear on all whats been tried its just a question of pointing people there.
Saves people having to seek the thread and read every post but just to read the OP to see all whats been tried and all options left open for any input from others.

You have DLC which means you can't go back further than 2.02, I don't have any and I can go back to 1.0 or whatever the original version was from the first discs pressed - but I still can't delete the stuck car. I've been trying to get rid of it ever since I acquired it in the first months after the game first came out.

It's a Land Rover Range Stormer Concept '04 acquired from the IA License test, nothing to do with Nascar.

N.B. its not a simple case of editing the gamefile, I wish it was, you can see the cars listed and the data associated with in the gamefile if you load it into a hex editor, unfortunately if you change anything the game rejects it, there must be a checksum/CRC calculated, if you don't how to generate that, you're stuffed, I already tried that long ago trying to get shot of it.

What happens if you try to buy these affected cars again? Does the game let you do that? Is it worth a speculative try just to see?

You just acquire two of them in the garage, one you can drive, one you cannot.
 
I just tried that with Cargo's save a few minutes ago, it let's you and you can use them but it doesn't change anything with the other one in the garage.

Thanks Shep. Ditto. Since you still have my save do you know how to get into the files themselves like I was talking about earlier (like Sorg has done) and delete the cars that way, or is that even possible.

Ah, ok. Pretty much answers that question then, lol. And thanks for the info on DLC and 2.02. I didn't even think of that. So I guess we are just screwed then until we see if they will patch it.

I have no idea mate, Sorg would be the person to ask, it's possible he could edit those cars out of your garage perhaps since he says he can add cars into his save.
