Hi all , Codies....I m a student in the third year of application development...and I just got the save game data corrupt message,seems like the only thing you can do is send your save files somewhere and hope for the best with no guarantees...
I did not have steam sync enabled since my friend had the same happen to him last week (oh how I wish I had backed up my save right then and there) ,and read on the forum that you recommend turning it off. Nor did anything abnormal happen to cause the corruption.With all the data being saved and displayed on the racenet website,you are telling us you cannot recover our saved data? That s sounds like a joke to me!If the data is still saved/displayed somewhere it is recoverable ?!Apart from that : dataloss..realy? This is one of the worst issues. If this was happening with the account data from a multi-milion dollar company that can easily sue you guys , you could have been out of business already.I could go on ranting but I will leave it at this.So constructive solutions to the problem?How about creating some functions to build or partially restore a savegame from the racenet website driver data.OrHow about a function to backup the save game files to a (local and/or remote) folder with 7 timestamped rar files (each containing the save game files for that instance) where the earliest gets overwritten after each gameplay ,so you can go back 7 gameplays if the save corrupts. (Assuming this is possible)This last solution seems to me like fairly easy to implement and i probably could write a program that does it for me,so you should definatly be able to.
PS : what is the correct adress for sending your corrup save, cause I read different things (is it the custserv@codemasters one?)Regards,
me
Corrupt data save after 200+ hours of gameplay

Thank you for submitting your recent request to Codemasters Customer Services concerning Grid Autosport.
If the game's saved file has genuinely become corrupt then there is little you can do, other than start a new save file I'm afraid.
You can backup your saved files from time to time, to restore these if you do encounter any data problems.
The default location for the save game is here:
C:\Program Files\Steam\userdata\[xxxxxxxxx]\255220\remote
or
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\[xxxxxxxxx]\255220\remote
Please note that any changes you make to these files will likely result in the game reporting a save file corruption.
Hope this helps.
Well guess what, it doesn t!
How can they tell the paying customer to manually back up the save games,it should not be our jobs to work around these issues!
They/You are getting paid for solving problems like these, to which there are simple solutions,
And it s not that these are single cases, there are loads of posts around about this issue.
I m done with grid , I m not gonna spend those countless hours again just to lose it all again if I happen to forget to back up my files.
All this because you can t provide a simple solution to a pretty simple problem,
I ll be sure to remember this the next time I see a codemasters title.
