Damaged File / Save Corruption Bug

[PALFox]

Not seen anyone else post about this yet.

I played yesterday for a couple of hours, saving when I arrived on the laser bridge before the Harrier fight.
After I saved, I alt-tabbed and closed the application, and when I came back, my save wouldn't load. On the load screen it says "Damaged File" and it can't be selected.

Started a new game today, this time rotating my saves as I went. Finished the Harrier fight and saved when prompted by Rose. Switched off and came back to the same issue. The last save is damaged and can't be loaded, but the others leading up to it are fine.

No idea why this is happening, but curious to know if anyone else has experienced it.

That's what I thought. So MGS2 is the only one that's truly unplayable to a good handful of people in its current state. You still didn't get a work around for your disc read issue, right?

MGS2 is very playable. The disc read issue seems to be very selective. I wanna say it's a loading issue where if it takes too long in loading assets, that happens. I'd only had it happen to me once on steam deck, and that's from me force pausing the game through decky.

As for the save problem, it's circumvented by making frequent and multiple saves. if doing a Big Boss run, just attempt to save again and see if the data gets bugged out. Apparently 2's corruption occurs the moment it is made.

For science in disc error issue, has anyone suffering it tried to open up task manager and set the game's priority to high? That should put more resources into the game. That's my only guess on this problem.

Sadly the plan of running it on high in task manager didn't work.

17 hours in, finished the entire game without an issue but just had my first experience while collecting Dog Tags in the Tanker. Thankfully I was aware of the issue so I've been making multiple saves just in case, but it did set me back like 10 minutes.

Hopefully they address it soon.

I'm not here to excuse Konami's incompetence, but another thought for all of you is...maybe back up your save after every playthrough? I set up a folder/shortcut so I can back my files up at least once every playthrough or two. It's a decent fall back option, god forbid you lose your save.

To this day I still backup my MGS5 save, There was the Quiet glitch that corrupted your save (Good job Kojima what a "masterpiece" you've made, definitly a finished game) and later Hideo Kojima game can still delete your save for no reason, Kojima fans probably call this a feature and say "he is a genius it's not a bug but the phantom pain feature" lmao.

So yeah a lot of gamers manualy backup their saves even back in the days (never know when a memory card will die, would be hard losing that FF10 +700 hours save after all)

It doesn't corrupt all of your saves, as far as I know.

there's no real way to exit the game safely so I had to kill myself off in the game and just quit and my file was still damaged and I have no idea why

Because it's not related to exiting the game in any way. I have AltF4'd the entire time with no problems. My first and only save corruption was before I ever exited the game.
AltF4 is safe as long as you don't do it while the save is actually in progress.

As the guy above said, the corruption happens at the time you make the save, I had one instance where I saved, entered the next room and saved again (I've been rotating them) and the prior save I made was corrupt. Never even went to the main menu, much less exited the game.

In fact, my only other instance was making a save, messing up, going to the main menu and going to reload and the save being corrupt. So, I've never had the corruption happen when I exited the game.

My save was corrupted when saving after the end credits. Went to start a ng and it was corrupted
