m just saying that if Starfield or Skyrim had a game overhaul like cyberpunk I bet your 200 hours character would be gone as well. I beat everything on Skyrim back in the Xbox 360 days and guess what I couldn't load that character for more than ten minutes without a permanent freezing on screen. Save bloat is real. Start new character.

I understand loss I lost my dog this year that hurts. Losing a character in a videogame like this is par for the course. I've lost many Skyrim fallout characters I didn't cry over any of them. I did however cry when my dog died. That sh is sad boy. Real sad. So make a new corpo or nomad or street kid and get in with the dlc. This game isn't hard to play and if you rush to gigs and hustles you can level up pretty fast. Like I said my new V is from 2.0 and she is level 44. I agree this is bad trust me I feel your pain but it's something that happens with gaming. Period.

I remember that the PS4 had the same issue back in the very beginning, they fixed that too (the corrupted saves) as far as I remember :(
Until Patch 2.01 is released, no one can say for certain our corrupted saves won't be recoverable. Who knows, one of the reasons it's taking so long to get fixed is they are trying to recover damaged saves. If they do, they will articfically look like heroes after saying they couldn't. We just have to wait and see.
 
They did warn you they clearly told you to start your character over again. 😂
The warn to start the character over again is not a warn at all.
This has nothing to do with the possibility of damaging your saves and losing all your progress.

This advice only applied to significant changes in gameplay, skills, and cyberimplants. It suggested that after such substantial changes in the game, it would be better to start a new game to experience all the innovations and be less disoriented.

I like how seriously your taking my comment. Oh also the warn is not a warn... okay got it.

You’re right, we’ll just have to wait and see. Kinda hoping you are also right about the “they are trying to recover damaged saves” and them managing to do so :D
 
Well I have to ask you did you start fresh with 2.0 or is this an old save file from previous patch?

Be more specific. Did you start fresh new character and try to play the dlc? Maybe try that first then tell me if you have corruption. I and many others think it's the old save games having the issue. Id like to know that but there's no way of knowing but to test it out on a new character. I know that sucks. Believe me.

I never read any forums or news when I buy games, never had to before what happened to me now, because usually when I buy games, whether it's new ones or DLC packs, they well, just work as intended.

I pre-ordered Phantom Liberty when I could, and I started playing the 1st day after I installed it. I just continued as the game started, which was my most recent save thus far (platinumed the original game). I started playing and the DLC storyline commenced.

No offense seriously but your speaking in riddles. It's real simple did you start a new character after 2.0 or was your character a 1.65 character save? Id like to know if anyone on a new character is having this save breaking issue.

I continued the game from where I left of when I finished playing the original version. I did not create any new character.
 
Just a heads up. I saw some people saying that avoiding Dogtown and playing in the base game Night City area is safe and will not corrupt your saves. Be warned that it is not. I did the same thing and I ended up with corrupted saves as well.

As long as you have started the DLC and played a few missions in it with a seemingly working save, your save will still end up being corrupted again just by lurking around Night City and never visiting Dogtown.

Its not safe to play the game at all at the moment unless you start a new character or something.

It's not certain that with a new character the problem won't occur... they have to solve the problem and quickly... on the PS5 with a V at level 50 I managed to play until the "firestarter" mission then the problems started, with that character as long as you stay out of Dogtown and his activities everything works fine, so I think the problem is Phantom Liberty!

There is no certainty that starting with a new V is the solution.
 
The only reason it's not happening to people with new characters is probably because they haven't done enough yet. It's only a matter of time before somone on a new character does enough, buys enough and upgrades enough to make the save file bloat. Theoretically this could happen to everyone on PS5 eventually. If it is down to the save file size. My big worry is if the game starts to run worse and worse the bigger the save gets like Skyrim did on PS3.
 
No it wasnt. All broken saves are ppl starting expansion with their old chars.
The corrupted save files are NOT only a PS5 issue! I'm on PC (i5 13400F, RTX 4070, 32 GB RAM, SSD) with a new playthrough started after 2.0 and my save files get corrupted when I see or loot air drops! I tested this out with an somehow empty air drop on top of a building near the entrance to Longshore Stacks and another air drop near the basketball court for Lucretia My Reflection (containing the Revulsor cyberware). If I see the one going down near Longshore Stacks, my files get corrupted. If I loot the one near the basketball court, my files get corrupted.
Yes it was, so you're wrong!

Well then why don't they just increase the save files size? So stupid. How can you sell a game that is unplayable? If I cannot 100% a game trophy wise cause my save file will break then that is a broken product period.

CDPR Please issue a full refund of Phantom Liberty to us PS5 players who are unable to play this game. Your vagueness about an update being 'soon' to fix this broken junk of a game is ridiculous.
Yeah I agree. I until they fix this trash heap it should be refunded to everyone automatically. Period. It's not right. I'm not buying games from this company again. They keep doing this to us over and over time to vote with your wallets. As for me I won't ever give them my hard earned money again if they don't wise up it's getting real old.
 
Should have learned my lesson the first time. Now I have spent more money and can't play for fear of losing more of my save files. I have lost over 50 hours.
I hope playstation remove the DLC from the store until the problems are fixed like they did last time. Maybe it will get fixed quicker when sales stop. Until then I guess I'll have to wait for the update.
This is the last time I buy any CDPR title at launch. :- 😤🤬

I don’t mind glitches or bugs so long as they’re not gamebreaking, such as this 🥲 I adore the game but this is insane.
