Hi,
1. So are you saying that there is no possibility whatsoever to have this save file size limit extended on PC platforms only?
No possibility? No but realistically, it's extremely unlikely to happen.
CDPR has moved on to other projects. There might be another patch in the works but no one knows with any certainty.
With that in mind, the chances of them making system specific fixes is highly unlikely. What fixes might be in the works would likely be applicable on all systems to maximize the effect of investing resources into a project they're done with.
2. The originator of this post - "GusVIII" is the one who claims that he encountered the same problem as me, but on a non-modded PC game run (Parameters/Symptoms: 350+hours played, way too many disassembly, hoarding stuff in a big quantity, done every side quest and playing...well...played...Phantom Liberty - I am stuck in here due to size limitation). So the question goes mainly to him. As for me, I am just simply waiting for some resolution to this problem as my game is heavily modded and thus my save file as well. I am not planning to play this game from scratch and unmodded in the future. I am simply here to find out if its a general problem and thus excluding modded save file issue.
I've been modding for over 20 years now. Many of these years as a creator too. Over those years, I have helped/tried to help a ton of people with issues and one thing I learned is that a lot of people will say their game is unmodded when it absolutely is. I have seen people outright say they had never modded their game while simultaneously providing logs that clearly showed they did.
CP2077, so far, has not been an exception. I've stopped counting the number of time people came to this forum with XYZ issue claiming their game was unmodded only for them to later reveal they had only "deactivated" mods.
That's not even counting people who literally forgot they modded their game. Like some people running an unmodded game after reinstalling but they forgot that they had CET files in there from a previous install with no
clean uninstall in between. Or just people who don't know that a regular uninstall doesn't remove modded files. Hell, it doesn't even remove all official files.
Point being, don't take people at their words on the internet. At some point you do have to give benefit of the doubt of course but only after specific questions have been asked and answered.
Notice how
@LeKill3rFou asked "use or
used" and the answer was "I don't use mods". Not "I don't and never used mods" or some variation of that. It's an important distinction.
I'm not saying the OP isn't running a vanilla game. I'm just saying, don't assume he is just because he says so.
It's also important to understand games have limitations. Even if the limit was upped to 20mb. You would eventually hit it. Simply put, CP2077 wasn't meant to be played for 350 hours. My longest running, heavily modded save, was a bit under 120 hours. I had seen and found everything. Dismantled everything. Hoarded everything. Did everything that's available in the game really.
To get to 350 hours played and still claim you have possibly 100+ hours to play... you are playing in a way that's very specific to you. There is nothing wrong with that but you can't really expect studios to cater specifically to a playstyle that is most likely extremely rare.
Also, do note that even if CDPR was to increase the limit again it would not fix your save file. Once damaged, they're gone forever. That's what happened when they increased the limit from the original 8mb. You would, at the very least, have to reload from a previous save.
