Is there a more concerning sentence than 'corrupted save files'? Cyberpunk 2077 PlayStation 5 players are having to deal with a rare issue where their save game files are corrupting, wiping out the progress made in the game. There's nothing worse than starting up a game and seeing that your save is wrecked and you have to start all over again.
Thankfully, CD Projekt Red are aware and they're hard at work on a fix that will arrive in the game's 2.01 update. According to a blog on the developer's website, the patch is "coming soon" and will fix not only the corrupting issue, but also game crashes that players have reported.
There will also be "performance improvements" rolling out on PC and consoles. The patch "highlights" are as follows:
- The distorted effect caused by selecting a specific dialogue option when talking to Johnny at the end of Automatic Love will no longer persist on the screen.
- V will no longer die in The Heist by falling through the elevator when riding to the 42nd floor with low FPS.
- Fixed an issue where the UI could show controller inputs when playing with keyboard and mouse.
- Made it possible to properly switch to arms cyberware by cycling through weapons.
- Gig: Breaking News will be properly triggered after approaching the quest area.
- Vehicle radio volume will be adjusted so it's not too quiet when compared to other sounds in the game.
- Addressed the issue of corrupted saves on PlayStation by increasing the maximum save file size limit. Note: this won't fix the saves corrupted before the update. If you're experiencing the issue, keep a working save (e.g. resave it as manual save) till 2.01 arrives.
- Performance improvements for both PC and consoles, especially in the Dogtown area.
CD Projekt Red note that players should "stay tuned for more details" which suggests more fixes will be included in the patch.
