NBA2K20 ONLIN SERVICES DISABLED

Just want to mention that I don't use the character swap to exit multiplayer (although it probably is exactly the same), I go into the start menu, then online and select 'Leave GTA online'

Buddy of mine has lost his character on 360 and another has lost two.

Three of my friends have lost characters. I was level 13 on Saturday evening. Woke up Sunday evening to a level 3 character. This crap is ridiculous.

I think the problem is the cloud servers they are using. It doesn't always save progress correctly. Two of my friends that lost characters still had all the money they had in the bank when they last played just not the character's levels.

Yeah I find during the peak periods I can always get into a free roam, but only start jobs if I'm lucky.

Also I had the opposite to Andrew where I would always loose all my money, but retain my rank which was becoming frustrating. I've found that backing out from the online mode to story before turning the Xbox off seems to always save my progress.

Using the character wheel to go back to the story mode is exactly what I did. But my friend did that and he still lost his character but retained his money. I personally am not going to get on until Rockstar releases a statement saying the cloud server problems
have been fixed. I am not going to put in work only to have any bit of my progress deleted. Screw that

In case anyone is interested Rockstar have said the following about the character loss shenanigans:

-

If you have previously created a character but see an empty character selection screen when entering GTA Online, please back out to GTAV Story Mode and try re-entering GTA Online through the pause menu (repeat or wait until Rockstar cloud servers are back
up). Do not create a new character in the empty slot where your character should be.

-

If you receive the message 'The Rockstar Cloud Servers Are Unavailable', please return to GTAV Story Mode and follow the steps above. Please do not press “Retry” on the message and do not proceed online with saving disabled, as this may lead to overwriting
your existing character.

^^ No, it's not. It's just really on and off. I had friends who hadn't been able to play the online tiill this weekend. It's hard to get into a game sometimes with all the people trying to connect online.
