Corrupted or Incomplete game data

[Skwizgarr]

I've been unable to get passed the main menu screen, any time I try to make a new character or even run a benchmark test, the game crashes with the error "Cyberpunk 2077 encountered an error caused by corrupted or incomplete game data" despite the fact I've removed all mods, freshly installed the game, and verified game files numerous times.

Your mods have killed your old saves. Mods alter data that is used in saves.

The only thing you can do is go back and try all your saves or start again, this is why I say use a few mods as you can.

[Skwizgarr]

I actively went and uninstalled everything and tried making a new character I'm not trying to run my old saves in 2.0, that's be a lost cause.
I also went and wiped everything from appdata to really make sure none of my mods left anything over, so I doubt it's the issue.

have the same Problem found other people on Twitter to who had this TweakDB Corrupted error.

Failed to load optimized TweakDB file!
File: E:\R6.Release\dev\src\common\gameTweakDB\src\tweakDB.cpp(428)

Fresh install everything wiped and redownloaded and same again.

[Skwizgarr]

my error is different, I'm aware of the TweakDB error, but when you have it, the error message specifies that tweakDB is the file that is broken, tried fixing it which is how I know it's not my issue.

Yeah the game just doesn't work. Exact same issue, and I've never used any mods.

If you look at the first post on these very forums it says try a clean reinstall to solve problems.

happens with a reinstall too, only current workaround is starting the game through the folder directory.

I did this too, that's what I was referring to when I wiped everything from appdata, still didn't work, I also tried starting it through the exe in the bin/x64 folder, still crashes when the game tries to render anything.

Yeah clean install doesn't do anything.

i did fresh install and followed the instructions from that link as well, nothing fixes it, the only workaround is having to play the game through the .exe file instead of using the steam launcher.... such a waste of time all this problem.

There might be some leftover files?

If veryfing the files doesn't work you could:
-Uninstall CP77
-Delete the file folder in Steam/steamapp/common/CP77
-Clear the temporary files. Type %temp% in the windows explorer, bar and ctrl A / delete, all the files.
-In "username"/appdata/local/ CDPR delete that folder.
-Regedit / current user / software / CDPR -> Delete.
-You could try bypassing the launcher. You would have to google the launch parameters.
-Your saves would be in document/myGames. Not sure about that helping at all.

Besides that, dunno.
(oh and install CP77 after all that)

pretty much done this, except the %temp% not sure what that has to do with the game itself though.
i havent tried the bypass the launcher with parameters.

ill give this a try thanks!

ps: just tried it and nope, such a shame... the only way to get the game running is by using the Cyberpunk2077.exe from the x64 folder :/ the downside from this is that i cant use the steam chat whenever i please, missing achievements tracks incase i progress like this and of course no cloud saves.

I was having this error on every attempt to run the game last week. Running a new pc. I updated my Bios and that resolved it...for a few days. Now error has returned.

Unlike before, sometimes I can get the game to run. It seems to be somewhat correlated to choosing "continue" on the main screen instead of "load game" then choosing a specific save file. I have also had this error pop up and the game still run for hours without any issue.

Obviously tried validating game files, which worked once, then that did not work again. I don't really feel like reinstalling the game every time I want to play it, so I'm just not doing that. I did that 10 times over the last week and it never resolved anything anyway.

Anyone have any updates on this mess?
