the ps4 version of this method is quite similar to this...it's on here as casino heist replay glitch but it does what your glitch does..
nothing you do is getting saved until you go back to story and rejoin online
"I have tried going to GTA Online, loading into a friend session, crew, invite anything I can think of. I get the are you sure you want to quit screen and I press circle to get out of it and I'm greeted with a you've been disconnected screen."
thats what you said...and all i told you was that...
yes, the last step..thats what i am talking about...going online from pause menu....theres only 2 alerts that can show up at the last step and i told you what to do on each
but i'll stop trying to help you ... have fun not hitting the easiest part, genius...
so the method to save cars and stuff,right?! you don't get the trailer alert with that method...so just accept quit session alert and you'll get online
yes, thats right....but you talked about the "quit the session alert" that comes up when you go online in the last step...the trailer alert is another one that doesnt always come up...depends on the method you're using after step 9
so you accept the quit session alert..and if the trailer alert...
no, you can't loose your character and it won't get reset...the guy you're talking about got booted to prologue and panicked..if this happens just clear the cache when starting gta and you'll see your character progress hasn't been reset
BUT you can/will loose all your outfits on one character...
it will work...this happens sometimes if you dont get to ps menu for recent activity at the exact right moment...when you get back to trailer just select franklin, teleport to cinema via waypoint and now somehow the timing doesnt matter as long as you dont wait for too long with the activity...
