GTA V players urged not to store vehicles inside garages at this time

Many gamers may have experienced issues with storing cars inside garages within Grand Theft Auto V that results in the loss of the stored vehicle. Rockstar support released a comment about the problem on Monday in which the developer recommended fans avoid using the garages inside the open-world game until a fix can be deployed.

The known bug that has a tendency to delete saved vehicles from garages seems to be triggered by several different things. Rockstar Games’ support stated that these include completing a mission or driving a character’s personal vehicle while controlling one of the game’s other two protagonists.

Which garages? The ones outside your homes, or the ones you can purchase?

I know one of my cars was deleted at Micheal's home garage for me. :\

Can't care too much though, the game is too fun for me to be mad lol.

Ezz20133860d ago (Edited 3860d ago )

i didn't encounter any of those glitches so far on ps3
i'm only 5 hours in though ...so who knows

don't like the combat at all though
and when i drive any car it feel like i'm driving it on ice or something
but the gunplay is good though very similar to RDR gunplay

snipab8t3860d ago

No glitch on my end on 360 either.

Hellsvacancy3860d ago (Edited 3860d ago )

My car disappeared, it's wasn't in my garage and it wasn't impounded by the police either, just gone

Didn't bother me much, I just stole another one lol

I agree about the driving, most of the cars feel like balloons, as light as a feather

elhebbo163860d ago

I dunno what you are talking about, the cars are more grounded and easier to control than in GTA4.

Spinal3860d ago (Edited 3860d ago )

Yeah this has happened to me once, but also happened when Franklin got a new house an the car i had stored in the old garage was gone :(

Playing on 360. But yeah also agree the driving in this GTA is soooo much better than that floaty driving in GTA 4. I couldnt drive anythin in GTA 4 it was terrible. The shooting/cover system blows GTA 4 out the water.

Just imagine when GTA online kicks off! i booked off days from work to get better acquainted with it :)

buynit3860d ago (Edited 3860d ago )

On Ice? Sure you not playing Gta4? Driving skills get better as you play just like stamina aiming and all the other stats..

On topic

I spent over 50k on a car and only drove it for like five min.. Up looks like i got robbed in my garage too, Gta4 online must have started Early! Lol

Coach_McGuirk3860d ago

I agree about the driving, Ezz. GTA4 felt more realistic, like the cars had actual weight.

guitarded773860d ago

I had cars disappear at both Michael's and Franklin's (Aunt's house) garages. I was wondering WTF was going on.

Raf1k13860d ago

GTA4 did have more realistic driving but the cars were too easy to tip over when hitting a curb. Ultimately driving became too much of a chore in that game and I remember a lot of people not liking it.

GTA5 now as improved driving for an open world game as it bring the fun back into it.

MysticStrummer3860d ago

I haven't had any cars vanish on me yet, but I probably just jinxed myself. Doh! I have seen other glitches, but not enough to really complain about.

I wouldn't say the cars feel like they're on ice, but they don't feel quite right. The only ones that feel like they have weight are the big trucks, like garbage trucks or larger.

The whole game seems to have gotten a lot easier, including the driving. I'm only at about 30% completion, and I never played the PSP versions, but so far this is the easiest GTA I've ever played.

I love the game, but once again too many 10s are being thrown around. I guess maybe people feel obligated to make sure GTA5's Metacritic ends up higher than GTA4's.

Dee_913860d ago (Edited 3860d ago )

They only disappear in Micheal home garage for me sometimes.Trevor and Franklin garages seems to work.I did have another glitch though, where the health would always blink red even when it was full, but a simple restart fixed that.

Ezz20133860d ago (Edited 3860d ago )

i played GTA4 for short time got bored with it very fast and sold it
but i'm enjoing GTA5 alot more than gta4

maybe "on ice" is the wrong way to say it
it just the cars feel very light
don't get the feel of cars weight at all

cybervike3859d ago

The driving in GTA 4 was awful. They seemed to have addressed it in GTA V. I have no complaints.

Outside_ofthe_Box3859d ago (Edited 3859d ago )

Driving in GTA4 was much more realistic than it is in GTA5. People were just upset that you couldn't turn corners on dime while going 100 miles per hour in GTA4. Only issues I had with Gta4's driving was with bikes.

Driving in GT5 feels super duper arcadey. The cars feel like they don't have the weight on them that they should have and the roads feel slippery smooth.

Only when driving with trucks, bicycles, motorcycles, and damaged cars do I feel like I get the appropriate feeling. I can't blame Rockstar though as they are only responding to the complaints many had with driving in their previous game.

alien6263859d ago

i did encounter this once on ps3 and xbox but that was in the start of the game

Lord_Sloth3859d ago

My only real issue with the game is an I die after the enemy sneezes in my general direction. That being said, I can adapt to it, just have to be more cautious.

ShinMaster3859d ago (Edited 3859d ago )

It sucks when there are cars I spent money fully customizing, only to be forever lost in the game, even if I bring it back to a garage.
If you die or it gets destroyed or you use it to get to a mission and have to leave it, you won't get it back.
One time I backed into the garage at Franklin's place and the game didn't save it.

I haven't purchased any vehicles yet out of fear of wasting my money.

I just spent loads of cash modding my car and then it disappeared from the garage in my home. AARGH!!

MONOLITHICIDE3860d ago

Same. Completely modded this sexy banshee and stored at Micheals garage. Come back later, it was gone. I thought maybe some one stole it like his son Jimmy or something. LOL oh well.

Boody-Bandit3860d ago (Edited 3860d ago )

Go to the impound. There is a good chance it's there. You have to pay a fee though. I think it's $250. It's worth it to get them back. I had 3 disappear on me and found them there. My only problem is every time I go to the impound I pick a fight with the police. I know it but I can't help myself. I love trying to out run them.

Gazondaily3860d ago

Ah cheers Brutallyhonest, I'll do that!

violents3860d ago

I had the same happen to me, I spent a boatload of cash on a car and when I started a mission it showed.being parked outside mocheals house, becausr it made me take his cat and when I got back it was gone, no imppund, just gone.

Darth Gamer3860d ago

how do you store more than one vehicle in your home garage. Every time i go to put another car in my one car garage, the first car that i brought back to it is always in there and I ccan't fit another in. Iv'e been parking them outside in my driveway. lol

slazer1013860d ago

I lost a car I fully upgraded. It was parked in the garage of the house that is given to Franklin.

llMurcielagoll3860d ago

It happened to me too, I had a "Grotti" in Frank's garage then replaced it with a Commet in which I went and customized it. Next time I played it was like I never got that commet and my previous car was in the garage -_-

I suppose I am going to wait for a hot fix before I go crazy and buy me a Cheetah and lose it.

Dirkster_Dude3859d ago

I encountered losing vehicles that I had stolen, purchased, and the personal vehicles such as Trevor's truck or the cars for Michael and Franklin. Now that I think on it the personal vehicles came back at certain points, but I never recovered the other vehicles stored in the personal or purchased garages.

konrad3859d ago

It's Grand Theft Auto V so you shouldn't be surprised when you lose a car :)

3-4-53859d ago

DON'T store them in home garages.

DO store them in garages you bought.

stone_cold3859d ago

THE ONLY THING I URGE ABOUT IS THE ENDING

xActionBasturdx3859d ago

This happened to me but only after i finished the last mission. But it doesnt matter, smart people like would create multiple game saves, even though that wasnt the purpose for me doing it was good to have

SilentNegotiator3859d ago (Edited 3859d ago )

Well at least cars aren't important in Grand Theft Auto. No big deal, Rockstar.

/s

delicia3859d ago

50 hours in (just started another new game), Digital PS3 version, I think only once, a car inside Franklin's garage disappeared, but other than that, checking the cars every hour, no problem.

Chris_GTR13859d ago

yea ive had this happen many times now :( really annoying.

ShiranaiJittai3859d ago

You are supposed to lose Michael's car it is story related.

***"driving a character’s personal vehicle while controlling one of the game’s other two protagonists."***

This is definitely one of the triggers, although I didn't realize it at the time until now. Franklin is the only one so far where I lost a vehicle (car & bicycle) that I stored in the garage outside his home. I drove Micheal's vehicle while playing as him.

ALARM-clock3860d ago

I've lost countless millions on the cars I stored in my garage.

One less than perfect work around is to just trick out the cars that are part of the story, since no matter what you can't lose them. Franklin has one muscle car, one bike. Michael has one sports car, one convertible. And Trevor just has his truck---which, believe it or not, is actually a beast when it's fully customized.

TIER1xWOLFPACKx3860d ago

Trevor also has a beast of a quad, it has flames on it and doesn't look like a normal quad Ron gives it to you

FragMnTagM3860d ago

I am pretty sure that "quad" is a lawn mower. It is, however, bad ass.

franko3860d ago

All my cars are fine. Ps3.

Cost of realistic looking movement.

lucasnooker36d ago

Rockstar need to learn that 12 years of work and 5000 employees doesn’t account for one persons opinion on the internet…

Profchaos36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

Oh and hundreds of millions of dollars in revanue to boot.

Lots of complaints about gta ever since the hd era started and yet it's bugger than its ever been with gta vi up to 180 million trailer views alone. The next game is shaping it be be another genre defining game

MetalGearsofWar35d ago

They already learned they dont have to actually make a great game

sagapo36d ago

The controls of RDR2 felt a but cluncky indeed, but it’s not as bad as some make it out to be. At no point did I get the feeling my experience with the game was held back or ruined by the controls.
But it can never hurt to optimize them a bit, sure.

Zhipp35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

I did accidentally beat someone to death a couple times. An unfortunate mistake but besides that I didn't have any problems with the controlls

jznrpg36d ago

Red Dead Redemption felt clunky at first but I got used to it fairly quick. I thought 2 was easier to control but it could be my experience with the first game helped me out. Great games

Profchaos36d ago

I wouldn't call Rockstar games characters clunky instead they feel like they move with Weight they are not twitch controls press x to instantly snap onto cover the characters instead move like a actor would ducking behind cover they are exposed while they get there.
