CD Projekt Red to Players: "Unfortunately the save is damaged ... try to keep a lower amount of items and crafting materials"
By now, most of you have heard of the numerous bugs that plague Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt Red's most recent and most anticipated launch title. However, one bug has emerged to topple the rest, one that is game-breaking and forces players to avoid one of the most integral parts of an rpg. In short, save files cannot exceed 8mb, as observed by players in the Cyberpunk 2077 forum. When brough to CDPR's attention, the only official response that has been received is this:
"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."
This is a game-breaking bug that prevents players from engaging in one of the key components of an rpg, looting and crafting everything, yet CDPR has only officially staated that this "might" be fixed. We can only hope that this bug will be fixed as soon as possible, as well as the rest of the bugs plauging the game.
