GOG support page reveals that Cyberpunk 2077 saves will corrupt if you have too many items

Save_damaged.png

It's been more than 3 hours since CD Projekt said or did something that added fuel to the fire that has been Cyberpunk 2077's launch, so we're more than overdue for more insanity. For those that won't be refunding their copy, you might want to be aware of the latest issue with the game. Apparently, if your Cyberpunk 2077 save file surpasses 8MB in size, the file will corrupt, and you'll be unable to recover it. GOG has posted a troubleshooting page about the issue, informing players that the problem stems from players who have too many crafting materials and items in their inventory, or from using a known item-duplication glitch. In the future, CD Projekt Red "might" increase the save file size limit, but even if they do, anyone who has a save currently over 8MB will have lost it for good: they will remain corrupted even after the hypothetical patch. This 8MB limit applies to all platforms.

Unfortunately the save is damaged and can't be recovered.
Please use an older save file to continue playing and try to keep a lower amount of items and crafting materials.
If you have used the item duplication glitch, please load a save file not affected by it.
The save file size limit might be increased in one of the future patches, but the corrupted files will remain that way.

By the time you hit 7.5mb+ it will be too late i bet. And this could be a way to recover them im not sure since i dont play.
Sure, if I had no Idea this was a problem. But we do now. So just use or sell the items and shrink your save in the meantime until it is fixed. Still super shitty, but I don't think the average user will run into this issue very often unless they were duplicating items. Inexcusable bug 100%

This is a plot feature, not a bug.

In our dystopian cyberpunk future, if you have too many worldly possessions, you are considered to be endangering others due to imbalanced resource allocation.
An enforcement drone is thus sent to erase you, because you are .... The Corrupted.
Exactly. It´s not broken, it´s a feature.:rofl:

TBH I dunno why people would go hording items, given that the vast majority of them should be sold off/broken down for crafting parts, but they still definitely should have QA'd that more before releasing the game. But of course, higher ups gonna higher up and completely ignore the developers and just release it anyways.

What a fucking shitshow CDPR

They time they spent on CP77 would've been better spent on a Witcher sequel.

Funny thing is, CDPR made a lot of money on CP77, eben before the game was even released, because people are stupid enough to preorder games.

All that aside, I still think that CP is an interesting game. And without the bugs and glitches, and with a little bit more livelihood, it could be an amazing game.

Honestly, this game went from 5 stars to a pile of s#@! in less than two weeks. I have never seen this happen before. We need a CP2077 save editor to remove items so we can use our save now?! come on cdpr.
You haven't heard the tragedy of FallOut 76 the Unwise?
I wouldn't think so, it's not a story the Games Journalists would tell you.

He never said "on one platform". He said "Went from 5 star to a pile of s#@! in less than two weeks", which describes Fallout 76 perfectly.
Not really, that game launched as a pile of shit across the board, there was no day where it was regarded by anyone as 5 stars.

While I personally agree it's a sack of shit (and no, I've never played it), you really underestimate the opinions of people. Don't attempt to speak for others, as it just makes you look bad, NOBODY likes someone speaking for them. There were many who expected Fallout 76 to be an amazing game because 'Bethesda is the bestest evur, 5/5!' even before launch, same as Cyberflunk.

dude I remember the lead up to and the launch of that game like it was yesterday, no one was praising it, both prior to launch and on launch date. Not sure where the heck you saw anyone giving it praise at any point when it launched. But whoever you saw doing so, was absolutely in the minority, I can promise you that.
