Save files are corrupted

[Drakoriz]

70+ hours, around 6,45 MB here.

We have crafting specs in the game, but the game was not planned to be played by crafters ?

This shall be a joke.

I can live with all the bugs, but being unable to play and enjoy the game, that I can't do.

Either this bug is fixed or this game will be dead in no time.

did u guys read the 1.0.8 patch note, is litrerally the fix for this

My game was working fine but after GOG client downloaded and applyed the patch, my game (pc) freezes after the red bird logo screen. Cant play the game now :s

i dont know if gog have this option but check the integrity of the files. Steam screw it every update for some reason

I am so grateful for that fix. Thanks³! Whish all of you a merry christmas

If anybody encounters this issue - hotfix 1.06 will fix it and remove the 8MB limit on save files.

Honestly surprised they fixed this before xmas, great job Devs. Please get some rest though^^

Thank you very much for the fix in 1.06, I wasn't expecting it this fast!
Big shout out to the devs, especially at this time of the year!

We absolutely have to give CDPR tremendous credit for doing this OVER THE HOLIDAYS. After all the crap some people in this thread gave them. I wasn't even affected but this was amzing of you! Cheers! THANK YOU CDPR!!

 

[Rinaxchan89]

Nice, thank you!

 

[Geraltsaveus]

I still believe in you CDPR

Removed the 8 MB save file size limit. Note: this won’t fix save files corrupted before the update.

I am happy to see a removed save file size limit. I like that they noted it doesn't restore already corrupted saves.

I am a bit anxious as to what is going to happen to save files that now increase unlimited with no actual changes to bloating. Though, to be clear: I am not angry about this. Removing the limit before the holidays is a good thing. No worries about corrupted saves. Amazing.

The best Christmas Present. THANK YOU CDPR !!!

Merry Christmas!

Thank you for fixing the save file issue; its a huge relief as you no longer have to think about it all the time. Thanks to all the devs at CDPR who are working hard to fix bugs and problems with the game, especially now that it is Christmas and they should take a bit of a break.

True. And a great relief and fix for the game. Especially for PC. But now here's to hoping the lack of console reports actually was a sign of the issue truly not being on consoles.

Otherwise... there's gonna be a 2nd 8MB Wave coming.

There was never any confirmation that it was happening on consoles due to the way they handle their save files, and the lack of console users coming here to confirm they were experiencing the issue. Out of all the posts here, I think we heard from maybe three console users and one of them had an unrelated issue.

Very true. But remember. We don't know if console users ever even reached the 8MB wall. It could feasibly be that console users were not able to do it as fast as a PC user did. While things look promising for consoles, we can't rule out definitively that maybe, just maybe they just are there yet.

THANK YOU.

Also thanks to devs for quick patch!

Whoa. They could just pull this one off. Thank you CDPR.

@EnnyRose I took a look at the uncompressed sizes of your save file nodes compared to a "normal" human friend of mine, listing here the ten largest uncompressed node types of the save files:
C:\Code\cyberpunk\buddy\AutoSave-3\sav.dat
PersistencySystem: 5.13 MB
PSData: 5.12 MB
CommunitySystem: 1.08 MB
questSystem: 263.49 KB
StatsSystem: 255.98 KB
DeviceSystem: 195.36 KB
DS_DynamicConnections: 195.35 KB
TransformAnimator: 132.15 KB
Animations: 132.15 KB
customArray: 96.96 KB
C:\Code\cyberpunk\EnnyRoseNearlyBrokenSave\ManualSave-29\sav.dat
StatsSystem: 22.35 MB
PersistencySystem: 7.22 MB
PSData: 7.21 MB
CommunitySystem: 1.18 MB
DeviceSystem: 433.27 KB
DS_DynamicConnections: 433.27 KB
questSystem: 308.3 KB
TransformAnimator: 219.98 KB
Animations: 219.98 KB
ScriptableSystemsContainer: 207.03 KB

I think they're not quite as far in the game as you but most things are proportional in size, but your StatsSystem nodes are just bananas.

Note that these are uncompressed sizes and I have yet to look at how they contribute to the sizes of the compressed chunks.

Stop with the fear mongering please.

 

[oh_boi]

Also wanna say Thank you! Love this Game.

Stop with the fear mongering please.

He's not wrong.

It's not fear mongering. Fear mongering is encouraging the masses to be afraid of something that either isn't true at all, or by only giving out partial information and encouraging fear based on the conclusions that the masses are allowed to jump to with this limited information. For example, claiming that all aliens exist and will wipe us out as a species when they find us is fear mongering. It's giving you the information that aliens exist, and allowing you to jump to the conclusion that ALL of them will want to exterminate us. (Did anyone else hear a Dalek when they read that? Anyways)

We never were able to confirm what kind of black magic consoles are using to write the player data in memory to file. All we know for sure is that we almost never heard from console users unless it was for unrelated issues. The PlayStation console encrypts their saves, and allocates 12.5MB for the save file. We don't know if that's PER save, or if that's for manual saves and auto saves, because we would need to decrypt the file to find out, and that requires modding your PlayStation console which voids your warranty. (To be fair, voiding a warranty for modding a product you purchased is stupid, but, that's an entirely different topic altogether.) I don't think we have anyone here willing to void their warranty by modding the console for the sake of testing this.

The Xbox does things differently. It bundles all of your save files together into one large file in the preview, so you only get an overview of the total size of the files in the folder, instead of being able to drill down and see individual file sizes. Xbox users CAN, however, delete all saves but their manual save and it will show them the size of that one save file. However, everyone who has done this has never produced a save file size larger than 5.5MB - 6.0MB

So, because we were never able to confirm anything in regards to how consoles handle their player data in memory when compressing to file, we were never able to confirm whether or not this could happen to the consoles. So it's not outside of the realm of possibility that this could happen to consoles further down the line. Hell, it's not even far fetched that this could happen to consoles.

He never said it WILL happen. He alluded to the POSSIBILITY of it happening.
