Remember when AAA games released totally bug free? No, neither do we. The latest addition to this dubious trend is the next-gen rerelease of Grand Theft Auto V, which won't let players transfer online characters from their last-gen games. Specifically, the much-touted feature, which would even accept transfers from the Xbox 360 version, has stopped working for anyone who hasn't logged in since 2013.
The error itself warns that "no previous Grand theft Auto Online data is associated with your Social Club account". What's more, the bug prevents you from logging onto your file in the original release as well. You needn't panic too much, though, as Rockstar is on the case, stating that it is "urgently looking into an issue preventing character transfer and GTA Online login on accounts that haven’t played GTA Online since 2013". Indeed, the developer has set up a support page dedicated to the issue, which can you look at through here.

It had to be f'd up some how no?
Damn...I had this at launch and played for a few weeks, don't think I've played in 2014 though not 100% sure. I'm getting the next gen version in the next few weeks so hope this doesn't happen to me. I was one of the people who had a million dollars due to the launch issues, and bought a house with it. If I now lose that house due to this issue, I think more compensation would be appropriate lmao..
Haven't played since 2013? That doesn't make sense, it came out in 2013, so how would you not have played it since 2013? Or am i misunderstanding something?
@Shellybird27 If you bought and played the game last year, and haven't logged into the online at all in 2014, it won't let you transfer your online characters. I may not have made that super clear in the article - sorry about that
I haven't been logged in since 2013 and my characters transferred fine from Xbox 360 to PS4.
Ive just bought it of the store and am wondering why the doqnload file size is 606mb.its definetly the full game i purchased because it said file size 44.9gb. Anyone know whats happend here?
@mikey85 if its on ps4, go to library on UI go to games then gta v hit options on controller then go to information and it'll tell you how much of the game has been dnwloaded
Diny worry folks rockstar wont let us down it will be sorted have a little faith 😇
@MadAngryGamer
This issue with GTA V can be fixed though. Believe me, it annoys me to no end that I even have to type that but it is what it is these days. Just like with Halo MCC (I'm still a$$hurt about that one), DriveClub and AC Unity.
With you on the GTA San Andreas re-release though. It was $5, might've been cheaper, and when I saw that bought it without thinking, then realized upon playing that I'd been had. I like Rockstar a lot but they f'ed up two opportunities that don't come around often for developers. GTA Vice City and San Andreas were both considered among the greatest PS2 games and with the recent trend of HD re-releases I'm surprised with didn't at least get 10th Anniversary Editions for both with impressive graphics and some much needed control tweaks. I guess missing with VC made sense because they were working on V at the time but with SA they missed the boat on a chance many developers in this industry would dream of having.
