So I played a good hour yesterday after patch 1.05 and only continued playing the story and walking around a bit in the city. After 2 hours, and without picking up any guns or clothing (only some grenades), and not crafting or dissmantling anything, my save went from 2.63kb to 2.719kb.
Could this mean that whatever you do, however you play, at one point you will reach 8mb? At the rate the file is increasing, I would reach that at around 90hrs of gameplay...

NO, i think you should be fine, if you dont over abuse certain stuff... there are plenty of saves on Nexus where players posted completed story with maxed characters... if you stay away from crafting/money glitches and exploits, you should be fine.

I think someone in this topic mentioned that, occasionally, the file size also goes down. If you play some more, does it constantly go up for you? For example if you play some more but dismantle/get rid of some items etc.

Personally, i dont understand the need for such cheats in the first place - if you can have infinite money in the game, it devalues price practically of everything, making any sort of accomplishment impossible.. its perfect example how inflation works... more money there are, more damage they create.. thats why even in real world, problems cannot be solved by printing more money... they will just devaluate everything creating even bigger problem... :)

Excusemy noobness here, but is this save corruption issue a pc problem only? Don't think i have heard/read about consoles having this problem. I have finished the story on one lifepath so far and I am about halfway done on mynext playthrough. Just getting a bit worried.

I think if you dont manufacure thousands things to sell them to get million eddies, or max out Crafting in a hour, like some youtube videos show how, you should be perfectly fine... just play the game, enjoy the story, dont exploit the glitches, they will just destroy your experience anyway... and they will be fixed in january or february in those large patches anyway...

I would guess that they are not impacted YET.
No one on console will have used crafting as much as some people on PC with the possibility to set the craft time to 0.01 and usa macros.
So my guess is, that it might be the same issue on console but will take way longer to happen there...

There might be an easy fix for this after all. All of you affected, could you try the following:

Create an ini file, e.g. user.ini in <cyberpunk_game_folder>\engine\config\platform\pc\

Copy this into the file:
Code:
[GameServices]
MaxSaveSize = 16777216
The default value is 8388608 which corresponds to 8MiB. This settings increases the value to 16MiB. Note however, that already corrupted files WILL NOT be fixed by this.

I disassembled a buttload of weapons from my stache (only blues, kept everything else for now), and I noticed that my game has gotten a little better. I used to get freezes whenever I would storage items or disamble items. Performance overall with interacting with my inventory seems a whole lot smoother now compared to before.

This is really not good. The game is just breaking apart the more you play and the more items you hoard in your storage.

I have found spots in the game that crash my game 100% of the time whenever I get too close to them. That's unacceptable. If it happens in those places, who knows where else it is going to happen. And those locations do not crash my game on older save files.

They need to fix this issue ASAP! this is a huge game breaking bug!

I just tested this. Creatintg the ini and putting in the lines as Azulath suggested definitely changes something but it doesn't fix it. Now I just have an infinite black screen and the game doesn't even get to the message where it says that the savegame is corrupted. Also, the filesize stops growing after 8'192 KB.

I've tested this too, I've both tried adding it to gameservices.ini and adding a user.ini
In neither case would it create a savefile bigger than 8.192KB and both saves are infinite loads.

As an aside, since the 1.05 update, my broken saves have become infinite black screen loads, instead of within seconds telling me it's broken. So that's probably what Psoleh is running into as well.

You are probably right. It seems they have patched the message that even tells you that a savegame is corrupted :p.

Overall I want to say that despite this game breaking bug I've been really enjoying this game for about 130 hours still on the first playthrough (The savegame issue is the first real bug I've been experiencing).

Luckily I'm used to create many savegames (have over 600 savegames - maybe old Bethesda game habits? ;-) so I was lucky to just load an older savegame with a 7 MB size and I'm think I'm able to finish at least the main story before I reach the critical size (about to start Nocturne OP55N1 next).

Although this game might should have been postponed again, I'm glad that they didn't and was able to enjoy it the last week. I am confident that CD Project will patch it do one of the greatest RPG experiences ever eventually.

So to all, altough you might be frustrated, just try to be patient and if you want to avoid frustration, just wait a few months.

There is actually missing some values for this. So maybe you have to make more changes in order for it to work? Because when you have a look below: 4194304+8388608 = 12582912.
Can someone try this out?

Default is this:
Code:
[GameServices]
MaxProfileSize = 4194304
MaxSaveSize = 8388608
MaxSaveSizeTotal = 12582912
MaxSettingsSize = 4194304
try this:
Code:
[GameServices]
MaxSaveSize = 16777216
MaxSaveSizeTotal = 20971520
Maybe there is even more missing idk.
Here you can find all ini settings: https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/193?tab=description

Changing the MaxSaveSize might work before the save file has reached 8MB. From the posts in this ticket I can't make up if the saving corrupts the file, or the loading doesn't work.

If the current max is 8MB and the save process simply stops saving data at 8MB the file will be corrupted since it's missing everything after the 8MB limit has been reached. Even if your save file is slightly bigger than 8MB it might still be corrupted because it could simply finish the part it's working on and won't finish the parts that haven't been saved yet.

It's worth a try. If someone has a save that is close to 8MB, add the .ini MaxSaveSize and bug your way over the 8MB. Then see what happens.

Do note:
- We're not even sure the 8MB is the limit. People have gotten the same message at 4MB and other people are at 12MB and have not gotten an error. We'd need developers input to know this for sure
- Changing the MaxSaveSize might affect other things in the game and might break something else

Where have you seen someone with a WORKING 12mb file size? I haven't seen anyone over the 8.192mb limit.

The 12 MB saves are from the PlayStation, and that could easily be perhaps extra data added to the save by the PlayStation OS, the 4MB save person got their game working after a re-install, so it was probably a seperate issue.
The 8MB seems like a pretty hard limit for PC saves.
I suspect it's the point where the file limit is reached and at the moment at least, that causes a syntax error by removing required parts of the savegame fluff that's needed to tell the game what to do with the data.

[Edit]
I've just tried the other settings, still no go. Save File isn't increasing beyond 8.192KB

Yep. My apologies. The 12MB limit is on PlayStation and it is a 12MB limit and not beyond that. I should've checked the sources a bit more carefully.
