I may have to join the club because I'm getting the red loading dial after doing a practice race, family, or anything that involves loading in the game after a race...I'm not happy :(

The red dial? As opposed to white?

OK, that doesn't sound good.

But I have put my game file onto another memory card, including my replays, erased the entire memory card and going to see if the game runs fine on my other memory card. If it does then it's going to tell me it's the card. If it does the same thing then it's going to tell me either game cd is getting scratched or the system needs cleaning.

Here's hoping it's an easy fix :scared:

The red dial after a race? Doesn't it mean the PS2 can't load the data from the disk?
 
Yep. Which is nothing to do with your memory card.

On the downside, it means your PS2 is shot.

Please don't say this :nervous: :indiff: :guilty: The system costed me over $100 canadian and I'm not about to lose the system of my dreams
 
Happend to me but I didn't have to buy a new PS2. Infact I just exchanged the game and it was fine. :)
 
Yes my friend it did, see it used to do the same thing to me till i found out my disk was scratched to garbage. The game would load up fine up until a certain race or practice whatever. So I did exchange it and its been running fine ever since over a year now with continuous 24hr endurances and other races, I suggest you exchange it or get a new game first, and before you spend money try other games if they work.
 
hmmm...well other games work fine, except GT4...whenever I go to play gt4 it takes almost a min for the ps2 main screen to load before the game does...is this a warning to the game?

Yes I think you may need another game. The PS2 is not the issue if other games work correctly.

I politely request admission into this tragic little club:sly: . After playing since day one of the North American release, over several months of hard fought battles, 80 golds, over 300 cars, 99.6% completion, all missions completed (mission 34 completed... twice:crazy: ), running the Nurb' in under five minutes in mad Sauber C9, 40,000+ miles driven in A-spec and close to 100 different set-ups, I had on that fateful day planned to delight in tuning my 86 MR2 and running her in an endurance only to be greeted by that most unpleasant message. You could hear my cries echoing off the walls.

The most painful part of this wasn't losing the percentages actually. I've paid my GT4 dues and can do this all again if I wanted, and I could probably do it a lot faster- and with more A-spec points no doubt. No, the most irksome part of all this is losing my tuned cars.

After playing so long and then losing it all was an odd experience. It's been a week since I've even looked at the game (yes that is a VERY long time for me) and I really don't know if I want to start over. This experience really illustrates what so many members have been saying about GT4 for the longest. The GT4 experience is more akin to reading a finely crafted editorial in your favorite auto magazine or a history special singing tribute to rolling masterpieces, or forgotten automotive gems far, far ahead of their time. The feeling is there, the love of the automobile is there: it's so overflowing sometimes I wonder how the Playstation can handle it all.

GT4 is engrossing, consuming. It's an obsession at times. GT4 is the kind of driving experience that if you are a car fanatic to begin with, playing it is only going to make your condition more incurable. It's full of the kind of feeling you'd be hard pressed to find anywhere else in gaming, but with all that said to it's credit, at its worst it's not all that much fun to actually play.

I knew this already, but it never really hit home until I had to consider reinvesting my time. I've reached that stage where using "lesser" cars was the only way to really have any kind of racing experience. That never really bothered me because I enjoyed the driving so much, but now that I have to actually go through the trials of acquiring my favorite cars again, I understand now GT4's faults as a game. After about 25% completion a lot of it feels like work.

There are wonderful race series that open my eyes to cars I’d have never given a second glance to that turned out to be incredible drives, but then so much more of the GT4 experience is just plain boring.

If anything GT4 has shown me there is real poetry in the world of the automobile. It does its best capturing the kind of beauty and feeling that leaves us without the need for words.

I still don't know if I ever wish to play the game again, but for making me into a terminal car nut, for that much, I am thankful.
Dude, that's the coolest thing I've heard anyone say about GT4. You are awesome dude, that is what this game is about, and you hit it right on the head.👍
 
I've been through the pain of corruption twice throughout my GT4 career. Luckly now, I've baught a second memory card.

Translate it to English first so that we can understand ;)

Also use capitals when necessary and proper grammer please.

And read the first post, it says only GT4 players.

May I go onto the list too please? I tried to download GT3 data from the Official PS2 Magazine ( UK DVD ). Then I got the 100k. After I turned my PS2 back on, it didn't load up.

rockrapdude = GT4-Rule is right, in this forum people require to type proper enlish so all can understand what you asking / saying ;) :) And this thread is for people with corrupt Gran Turismo 4 data. Please don't take us the wrong way. We are trying to help by pointing you in the direction of your question and statement ;)
 
after loosing my first years of game data that was stolen by my ex room-mate, today I got a file-corrupted msg ::nervous: :scared:
at least my dfp is comming soon so starting over again will just practice me with it :)
 
I got the corrupted data message last week at aroung 50%. Since then i havent played gt4 but now i have two memory cards. I would like to know what caused and can cause for the file to become corrupt and how i can avoid it. If theres nothing i can do to stop it from corrputing again I guess I just wont play gt4 anymore.
 
My first save with some really nice achievements corrupted a long time ago. So I think i do belong into this club aswell. Even tho the loss was hearbreaking, it did do some good things... I started the new game with using only manual gears, and haven't changed back since then.
