New save files are being corrupted - can't progress.

[T-Dawg]

So I've been doing a new playthrough and have my character leveled up to 60, full street cred, etc. Basically I've been doing NCPD hustles, gigs, etc. and only very slowly progressing the main storyline.

I've opened up and done a fair number of Phantom Liberty main story missions as well.

My problem is that now I'm doing the Takamore missions where you go into the Arasaka Factory and plant malware on the float, and all my new saves, be they manual, quick, or autosaves are corrupted and can't be loaded. I had a very similar issue a couple days ago that I got around by loading a previous save file that worked.

Anyone seen anything like this?

No, this save file was a completely new playthrough starting on 2.0

Are your autosaves/quick saves corrupted as well?

Would like to see an answer to this also. Haven't any saves get corrupted so far but I'm on a similar track. New save since 2.01 and leveling up while minimizing story progress.

Yes, my last 8-12 autosaves & quicksaves are corrupted. Thankfully I found one that would load, but shortly afterwards all new saves were corrupted.

I have but it was my mods causing the problem.

What mod was causing your problem?

FWIW, I'm having this problem on an un-modded game. Fresh install.

[Bogmore]

I just did a clean install with a Cyberpunk 2077 folder removal which got rid of all the mods and have only installed a couple again.

Update. Figure I'd try it on another PC. Problem persists - new saves are corrupted and will not load..

And here's a video I made of it yesterday when I thought it was just in one area of the game.

At that time, I thought it was related to the change in neighborhoods.

How large are your save files? I heard they removed the 8MB save file size limit, right? I've only started playing this game after 2.01 came out, so not sure if the file size if still an issue? My saves are already over 5MB and I'm far from completing the game.

My sav.dat files are about 18.2 Mbytes Last I heard it wasn't an issue any more. But looking at my pre 2.0 saves, they were only about 6 Mbytes.

I don't know what the problem is but I've just had a look at all my save files on PC and they are all less than 8MB and that's with one completed play through since version 1 through to 2.01.

Yeah, even looking at my other pre 2.0 save files that went up to the point-of-no-return mission - they're only 8 megs. Something got screwed up along the way.

So I'm starting again and just going to use the "jump to the Phantom Liberty" prebuild. I don't have high hopes that CDPR will be able to help me.

I am also having a save issue with no mods on Linux. Another thing for others with this problem to check might be launcher and intro skipping which are required for most Linux running. I am uninstalling so not going to test further but I thought this might help others trying to troubleshoot so have at it .

I'm also facing same issue... Windows 10, no mods, fresh game created after 2.0.
