Guest Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 CM and Steam got the PC patch out, Microsoft and Sony will be the reason for the delay when it comes to the console release.Yeah get a refund if you want to, better chance of getting one with CM than you are from EA! You might regret it later when the fix DOES got out there.Yell at Microsoft and Sony instead of CM, get them to pull their respective fingers out as CM have already made the fix, it's up to Microsoft and Sony to get it out there to the consoles.CM have no access to PSN and whatever it is the Xbox uses. So why scream at them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that anyone cares to answer. PC patch came out last week, I said a page or two back that we're working on the console patch now.Due to the way consoles get patched we can't just fire out the patch like we can with the PC version. There's submissions, first party QA and all sorts we have to proceed through.Console patches are starting the submission process, once it starts to clear that we'll be able to provide you with a definitive date.

tatasandbeer Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Still in the dark about a patch for the console games I see!! Sure is nice of CM to ignore there customers!! Of course what else would you expect from a half ass company who releases half ass games. More and more of my online friends are coming up with save file corruptions. So I imagine the problems getting more widespread. IS IT REALLY THAT HARD FOR AN ANSWER, I MEAN REALLY !!!!! So whenever the patch does come "CM don't act like you did something good because you should have done it right to begin with" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKazzyMac Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I'm just going to say now that if the patch isn't out by this week I think I'm not going to bother playing the game any more and I'll go and return it and get my money back.Seriously. Widespread corrupted saves, glitched-out cars and wanton abuse of the vote-kicking system. This is getting too out of hand for myself (and most of my friends) to bother with.

asmmargod Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 "I think we have to sell the game now" that's my 6 yo son after we got "blessed" with that annoying (and quite old bug in codemasters house) corrupt save file. Very disappointing but not surprising unfortunately. Eh.... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So whenever the patch does come "CM don't act like you did something good because you should have done it right to begin with" you would do well to better understand the console patch system. as clearly stated by loore, companies like sony and microscam require game makers to run through a million hoops, including stupid QA and shiznit, and then they are allowed to give us the patch. as also stated by loore, that patch is being submited. what does that mean? that means CM HAS DONE THEIR BLOODY WORK FOR US CONSOLE GUYS. if you want the patch to go through quicker, complain to the maker of your console, as any further delay is on their head, not codemasters. codemasters cannot change or bypass the system put in place, so they have to wait for microscam and sony to let the patch go through, just as we do.

RWB Charger Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I was just going to say a similar thing to this^^, so many ragers and entitled people, it's a new game there will be bugs, CM are doing a good job listening and fixing the problems so give them a break, this happened to me on Grid 2 and I was mad but I kept on going, it happened to me 3 times but I got up dusted myself off and carried on.If you don't like the way patches are put out on consoles maybe you should get a PC, it is a much better experience anyway!!

Operator1 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 What a shameful & easily-preventable disappointment. The fact that console makers like Microsoft & Sony have a submission & deployment process for updates does not change the fact that Grid AutoSport's corrupt game saves should never have been a defect that needs patching.When a company like CodeMasters has made numerous games on the same platforms in the same auto racing genre for many years, there's no reason for functionality as fundamental as saving progress to be defective at launch - especially if similar issues have been present in their prior games.CodeMasters is well aware by now of the requirements for rolling out console patches, and they should have taken that into account before releasing Grid AutoSport in its defective state. It is wrong for anyone to try to shift the focus now onto platform makers as though Microsoft & Sony are at fault for customers not receiving a remedy sooner.As a paying customer, I will not be categorized as an "entitled raging whiner" (or worse) simply for expecting a basic level of functional quality in exchange for money paid. I'm sure that many customers (myself included) could understand if a few small bits of Grid AutoSport's polish might have been overlooked or rushed to be patched later, but something as critical as being able to reliably save progress has far too great an impact on the functional state of the game to quietly ignore. If CodeMasters does not get an acute sense for the extent of our dissatisfaction, then they will have no incentive to avoid repeating missteps like this in their future offerings.

In Grid 2 the first was solved, obviously, but the second part was not. I´m scared about it and think that is going to be a big, big surge of anger of many users.Salute.

Guest Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 3 times I've confirmed all 3 corrupted saves have indeed been restored, people need to read the posts 1st but, few ever do when they are narked off (justifiably so as it's a major problem).Made a suggestion of starting another save while you wait and got jumped on for it, well by the time the DLC's come I'll have 105 garage slots across all my saves if I max them all out.All you "Not playing till it's fixed!" or the "I want a refund!" crowd will be left with a single save and either 30 or 35 garage slots max....Your loss if you got a refund or threw the controller way in a rage.....

You confirmed that it worked for you on PC. How can you confirm that it works for others on consoles if you haven't tried it on consoles?There have been numerous reports of people starting over multiple times & losing their saves all over again, so why start a new save when there's every reason to expect it to get corrupted the same way the first one did? ...Unless you can confirm that the console patch would merge all of the combined progress from multiple corrupt saves together?

Guest Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Dude point is we wait on Sony and MS to "approve it" before it rolls out, the problem has the same root cause across the platforms unless I'm mistaken.ERGO the fix will restore the corrupted saves for all who have lost out.As to the risk of multiple corrupted files, I had 3.... each time I did a new save, now I have 3 saves with 10-14 different cars in each one, So I can experiment with different selections and build a garage of favourites.On top of that ALL my saves are ALL linked to my Racenet account, so it doesn't matter the save I use to set an event time, they ALL count.This was the point I made before but got shouted down for making a constructive suggestion rather than Slagging CM off.....

I have not posted anything offensive or inappropriate. As a paying customer, I have every right to express my disappointment for a defective purchase (especially on a free public forum in a thread dedicated to this particular issue). I also have every right to request that CodeMasters does absolutely everything in their power to:1.) expedite the deployment of this critical update; and2.) avoid defects like this in the future.

Guest Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Sorry didn't mean to say you had, You're also dead right about stating your feelings about the problems, I was just pointing out that making suggestions to narked off people can sometimes make them madder than they already are :)Works both ways as well when it comes to "frustrated differences of opinion" I guess.I really hope that the fix does work as well on console as it has on PC, and gets everybody back online again as the game just gets better and better (IMHO lol).

Loore Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 Afraid I don't have an update on an exact timing, but the patches are progressing on a console front.Also worth noting that they'll include all fixes that have gone into the PC version (that are applicable) and are due to go into PC before they release.

I downloaded it in game, when it had finished it asked to go back to the start screen to load the dlc so I accepted, selected my save and got the save file corrupted message.So in effect I've actually payed to have my game corrupted. :'(If the patch doesn't fix my save I might just give up on the game to be honest.Any news on the update for Xbox360?

Been playing a lot of Mario Kart.Whenever this patch works I'll contemplate going back to it, but the damage has probably already been done.

OctoberDusk06 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Add another victim to the list...and very dedicated user.Yea, I was one of those who was merrily paling along and had even organized a league on a major website. Now, this corruption problem has blown all those plans out of the water. There is a good change Codemasters will take a massive (maybe fatal) PR hit for this...people are already losing interest, especially with newer options coming out. This was supposed to be the bridge to the new generation, but instead it's a bear trap.One question though -- I hear people saying (for xbox 360 users) -- just sell off abnormal upgraded cars and those with crazy price tags, then play the first save....But I can't even GET to the first save (over 300 races, level 79, 7 cars over 40XP, etc.) because I get the "your files are corrupt) error. So, how would I go about saving my files on an xbox? USB port? Cloud? And if I do that, then if I go in and start a new career, won't the old one we wiped out? How am I supposed to get the old save file back into the new fave file on an xbox? And I can't do as suggested with the cars (sell them off, etc.) because I can't open my corrupted save file. Catch-22.What a disaster.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catch-22.What a disaster.... Back it up to a USB stick or the cloud. So long as you don't delete it from there, then when the patch comes out you should be able to simply reload it and it should work (theory, anyway).Since Grid 2 I've always kept a periodic backup of a 'working' save. I've got three save files; my last 'working' save on hard drive, the 'working save' backup on cloud, and my most recent (but corrupted) save on a USB stick for when the patch comes out.Given that @Loore said on Twitter last Monday that the patch is undergoing QA tests, I wouldn't be surprised to find the patch comes out this week - perhaps tomorrow, even. But yeah, the amount of time this has taken (nearly a month now!) has put most people off of the game, which is a shame because it's a really good game whilst it works.I plan to spread the news of the corrupted-save patch like wildfire so hopefully a lot of people will come back once it's out. Well, that's -once- it comes out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reloaded4 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Hi everyone i to am one of the many people who have fallen victim to the corrupt save data issue. Im now on my 3rd profile after losing a level 74 and another of 54, im currently up to level 43 on my 3rd. I sent CM an email of complaint and outlined my issues and this was the reply.....We aim to release a game update shortly which should resolve any issues with save files being reported as corrupt.Please note, however, that this will not restore save files that have been altered by the user or corrupted due to data problems on your hard drive.In the meantime, you should be able to play on an alternative profile, until the patch is release.............I followed up this by way of a phone call to customer services today and was told the above. I was also told that a patch has been created and submitted to sony and microsoft for QA testing as codemasters dont have the finnal ok before putting it on the live servers. They told me it was submitted around 2 weeks ago and could take a further 2-3weeks before approved. They have also told me they have no good will gestures in mind for those who have been affected. I guess we just got to be patient and take our loses on the chin unless you wait for the patch and get your corrupted data restored. GRRRRRRRR!!!!!!

SASBlink Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Interesting info. Thanks for sharing. :) Reloaded4 said: Please note, however, that this will not restore save files that have been altered by the user or corrupted due to data problems on your hard drive. So this means the corruptions due to turning the game off while saving will not be fixed, as suspected. I was thinking this before. Just what if, what if my corruption is due to that? I will feel sorry for the people who did turn the xbox off while saving and think the glitch is the reason why they got a corruption. :( I'm still hoping im not one of these people. (insert nervous laugh here) :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delta12107 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 So I just thought I'd have a search and see if I could find any info about how long Sony/MS take to approve a patch. Turns out Capcom have answered this question in the past.They said "SCEA and MS can turn things around in 5-7 days most times".So if that's the case the patch should hit any time now.Don't hold your breath. :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
