I know Rockstar are still fixing it's countless problems, but is anyone else getting this random character deletion problem. I've already had to create two characters already, i just discovered moments ago that my 2nd character has mysteriously been deleted. I've had him since the 2nd October and already did quite a bit to get him going with cash, missions and weapons. I really dislike the character creation, it was poorly made and since the 2nd october passed 4 days ago, i was really happy that my character didn't get mysteriously deleted again and i wouldn't have to go back to the awful creation thing again. I thought i was safe, specially since the update yesterday, but sadly for me, my character and what i've done has been erased. When  my friend told me his character has also been deleted a few hours ago, i went to see if mine was gone too. So i just want to know if people are still getting the same problem.

The game itself is alright, i do wish there was an option to stop players killing one another, sometimes i used to enjoy driving around with friends on GTA4 without having other players ruin you're game. But i wont be going back to GTA5 online any time soon as i find it pointless to create another character, do so much only for my character to be mysteriously deleted again.

This would also be a warning to other people as well who feel that they are safe, continue to play the game and get so far only to lose everything.

 

Hopefully this problem will be one of the first things to be fixed, it would really hit those who spend so much time doing everything only to lose it all 3 weeks later :/ :(

My character hasn't been deleted yet. As far as the killing thing, you can enable "Passive Mode" from the Interaction menu for $500 I think. As long as you don't pull out a weapon, other people can't damage you.

my first character was level 1 or 2 when he got deleted. My 2nd character was higher. Not sure how high, but i was playing him for roughly 5 days now. But he's been deleted :(. £500 for Passive mode :S, wow, i was hoping it be free, or on a game option like you get on GTA4 :/

Same encountered some issues but nothing significant after the update, I love it one time it said I had to create another character but I just left it and waited till the next day and It was back.

Yep my character was just deleated. I lost my first character around LV 2 after only playing with him for like an hour but this last one hurt. I know it isnt alot compared to some people but I played with that character to LV 6 for around 3 or 4 hours and poof all gone. What kind of BS is this!? Ive played GTA Online for around 4 or 5 hours and have JACK to show for it. Just a tremendous waste of time.

I think GTA Online is pretty disgraceful to be honest. I love Rockstar, but they've tried to outdo themselves with the online and it's backfiring massively. I've lost 2 characters, and am not sitting through the same BS on a daily basis.

I'm not sure but I think people are getting it wrong when it comes this character deletion thing.  I had my character mysteriously disappear and I thought it got deleted as well until I noticed the cloud servers are down.  I waited for them to come back up and my character reappeared again.    I think only if you overwrite your old character with a new one whilst the slot is empty does it delete the old character.

Precisely, if people just waited they wouldn't overwrite their character still a major issue that needs to be fixed but you know

I was waiting to beat the main story before jumping into online. Finally beat story last night, but looks like online still has issues. I'll wait a little longer...
