If your Cyberpunk 2077 save file gets too large, it may become corrupted


I can hardly go anywhere on the internet without seeing someone else Wild, Hilarious or Strange strange error From Cyberpunk 2077. It’s a buggy game and developer CD Project Red has already released two hotfixes to try and fix some of the problems. One issue that starts popping up is not funny at all: some players are reporting that their Cyberpunk 2077 Save files are being corrupted if they are larger than a certain file size (by Eurogamer).

If your Cyberpunk 2077 Save is corrupted, when you try and load the game you will obviously see this prompt: “Saved data is damaged and cannot be loaded.” Here’s what it looks like:

It is not clear when the files could be corrupted, but it is possible that the 8MB size could be saved. When a save file for a radiator is corrupted, in its test, it is to exceed the 8 MB threshold. There are also many people in the CD Project Red forum who are aware that their 8MB + save files are corrupted.

In the GOG.com support document about the malicious rescue prompt, CD Project Red says, “Unfortunately the save is damaged and cannot be recovered.” To avoid seeing the prompt, the company recommends using the old save and “keeping small quantities of items and crafting materials.”

CD Project Red states in the GOG.com support document that the save file size limit may be increased to “one of the future patches”. But even if it were to increase, the number of currently saved files would remain the same, the document said. If you Is Corrupt saved experience, mediated by an official of CD Project Red Cyberpunk 2077 The forums have some tips on how to load a backup save that you can try.

Studio Promised To release two large patches Cyberpunk 2077 Next year: one in January and one in February. The company will modify those patches to prevent the files from being corrupted. CD Project Red did not immediately respond to a request for comment Edge.
