Record this below the list of issues affecting the AAA title of CD Projekt Red (CDPR) 2077. Cyberpunk, but it seems that if you create too many items in the game, your save file will be irreversibly damaged and you will lose all the progress contained in it. This issue started making the rounds on the GOG forums a few days ago, but now it has come into the spotlight due to the company’s response.
More than The Wizard 3, 2077. Cyberpunk it also allows players to collect various items to create new materials to use or sell them for commercial gain. This is a fairly standard mechanic, which is a basic component of major RPG titles. However, if you do this excessively in 2077. Cyberpunk, you will corrupt the save file and you will lose all progress.
As Reddit and GOG pointed out in various threads a few hours ago, the save files are limited to 8 MB. If you exceed this limit – which is very possible if you want to collect and create objects – your save file will be irreversibly damaged. This is indicated by a warning sign on the save file, which says “Saved data is damaged and cannot be uploaded”.
It is confirmed that this problem is present on the PC version of the game, and other Reddit threads have indicated that the same thing happens on the game console counterparts. CDPR confirmed the issue and stated that:
Unfortunately, the rescue is damaged and cannot be recovered. Please use an older save file to continue playing and try to keep a smaller amount of items and crafts. If you used the item duplication error, please upload a save file that is not affected by it. The file size saving limit may be increased in one of the future patches, but the corrupted files will remain that way.
Although CDPR has not confirmed why this limitation is at stake – especially when this mechanic is such an important component of the “true” RPG experience – it is likely due to technical limitations and will be fixed in a future patch. . , currently anticipated in January 2021. However, until then, players are on their own.
