There is another problem that is plaguing some players of Cyberpunk 2077, and is related to the save file: apparently, it can become corrupted and completely unusable once it exceeds the weight of 8MB – the current limit imposed by the developers – on all platforms.
The alarm was raised on Reddit and on the official forums of the Polish company. Many of the players who have seen their save become corrupted have noticed that this happened to the exceeding a specific dimension, corresponding to 8 MB. The numerous testimonies prompted CD Projekt RED to intervene with one official communication, entrusted to the support pages of the GOG.com proprietary platform: “Unfortunately the save is damaged and it’s beyond reclaim. Please use an older save to continue playing and try to keep the number of crafting items and materials low. If you used the item duplication glitch, please load a previous save where you didn’t use it. The save file size limit may be increased in future patches, but corrupted files will remain corrupt. “
The support has therefore confirmed that the problem exists, and it is real. CD Projekt RED has set a size limit for save files, which if overcome can lead to corruption. To prevent this from happening, he advises players not to collect too many items and materials in order to keep the size low. The limit may be increased with future patches, but already corrupted files are unrecoverable. The vast majority of gamers may never have to deal with this problem – also why specific mention is made of the object duplication glitch, which under normal conditions should not be used – but it is something that must definitely be taken into account.
Meanwhile, the game continues to update. Yesterday theHotfix 1.05 in Cyberpunk 2077 on PS4 and Xbox One, then also arrived on PC in the night.
