Lost data

[#1]

I don't know if it's something I've done or some fault with my system.  But I've lost all data for burnout.

I've completed 53% of the game.  I have very recently bought Burnout Paradise Ultimate Box, then realising that this didn't have the extra island or the 'special' cars, I then bought these through PSN store.

Well now the game has somehow reset itself and now I have 1 car plus the ones I bought. 

I'm gutted to say the least!!

Is there any way of re-loading the old data?

Help......please!!

[#2]

The same has happened to me.

I've lost all my cars, challenges and licence's.

Im back to square one now.

[#3]

Just happened to me also!! Reset all my stats... The online stats were the same as when i left the game an hour ago (it did 3 Beep on me when i ejected the game!!)

1 thing i did notice though was that i have 163 Rivals but only 151 Takedowns?? What the hell has happened there.:Stupid:

I Deleted the Game Data & am now updating to v1.90 ( I have Burnout Paradise, not the Ultimate Box Version), dont delete your Save Game data just the Game Data.. I'll update this if it works & all is back to normal, one thing is for sure i wont be doing it all again??:Argh:

Well i have to tell you that did not work, all stats Reset back to square 1!!!!!!!! I'm done, bye bye burnout

It happened to me the other week. I turn my PS3 off and made a beep sound put the game back In and all my data was lost. Even thought I got all the trophies for It. I'm not doing It all over again.

Holy mother of :O We have a Situation! I was actually going to play this earlier but popped in Motorstorm instead.

I wonder what's going on?

Edit: Wait a second. This is the same problem in the thread below. I tried to help the dude. I'm surprised this is still happening!

"The game dosen't recognise PlayStation Plus Avatars. If you select a default one that's useable for everybody, game never crashes, saves the files everything Nice chap over at gamefaqs by the name of baklap1989 explained that"

That solves the crashing issue completely.

Did the guy at gamefaqs say anything about how to get your game data back.

Thanks

lost everything last week myself :(

i had about 90% complete and then lost it all :( completely gutted and disgusted with this game. over 200 hours of gameplay gone :O

[#11]

I was told that if you have more than 130 rivals when you power off your machine the next time you play it will have reset your game back to the start.... It happened to me. I had 100% complete and all 500 chalenges done... I didn't lose any online stats just the local game play....I then replayed the game and always back it up with a flash drive after I start it up to make sure its good..... It just happened again but was able to copy the game back from my flash drive.... Watch your rival count and back up your game....This won't get your game back now but will help in the future........ trickme33kid and trickme33

[#12]

Oh by the way I haven't used any special avatar just had too many rivals.....so not sure avatar have anything to do with it.....  trickme33

[#14]

[#15]

avatar change did nothing criterion page ( the screen you see twitter etc) my stats are there but upon entering game it starts over, just to clarify avatar change did nothing exept for my avatar now appears on my licence , i had it on disc ages ago sold it & got ps+ version & thats the situation anyone got a fix , its not my avatar

[#16]

anymore info on this? It happened to me yesterday and i have no idea why :S it also happened to my friend who I was playing with at the time. I was using the disc version if that makes any difference

[#17]

playstation tech support dont know where data is . told me not getting storage fee back and dont try to sue sony!!!

[#18]

Just went on mine and had this problem, it was like I had just put the disc in for the first time, but I have (correction- had) platinum cars, all events complete, all cars except paid cars and Diamond P12, which I was doing challenges to get, over 300 done, nearly 200 hours of gameplay in total. Absolutely gutted. I just hope someone finds a fix or something. Also had 3 beeps when I quit the game last, and have a premium Uncharted avatar as that seems to potentially have something to do with it. I downloaded the free PS plus version to play without having to use the disc but save wasn't compatible so I deleted it once my 30 days ran out.

on thursday last week i backed up my game DARK SOULS on playstation store, . i then wiped hard drive , and tried to retrieve my data. was instructed to try again in 24 hrs. i left it 25hrs   no data and it cost me 11.99 sterling . i saarted new game friday just to pass time until sony could restore data, and got up to a healthy lvl with two boss's to kill .i noticed that some which id killed and who do not respawn,were alive again ! to rub salt into wound  tried to retrieve other material  all gonestuff i had 1 hour before gone and back to beginers level.sony dont seem to care. my advice is dont use playstation store,  as a back up
