Cyberpunk 2077 houses a ton of bugs. One such bug that initially escaped most eyes related to saved files. In this bug, the save files got corrupted after crossing a specific limit. The error made many enthusiasts lose out on their progress while playing the RPG.
A week after Cyberpunk 2077’s launch, many enthusiasts came across the save file error. Whenever the RPG’s save file exceeded the 8MB mark, the file used to go corrupt. Consequently, the bug made players lose out on their game progress.
If anything, this bug was a party-pooper. Imagine spending hours grinding through a faulty game, unlocking countless new stuff. Then the very next day, all your hard work goes down the drain.
Initially, Projekt Red gave a brief fix tutorial to help enthusiasts get over the trouble of losing save files. The solution was to avoid overloading your inventory with a bunch of stuff.
What led to a meltdown was the fact that there were no comments about permanently solving the bug. All that CD Projekt said was that “the save file size limit might be increased in one of the future patches.”
Thankfully, this wasn’t the case. The 8MB save file bug in Cyberpunk 2077 was addressed and fixed by Projekt Red in the recently released 1.06 hotfix.
Here is the list of changes that 1.06 hotfix will bring along:
- Quests: Dum Dum will no longer go missing from Totentanz entrance during Second Conflict.
- Console-specific: Improved memory management and stability, resulting in fewer crashes.
- PC-specific: Removed the 8 MB save file size limit. Note: this won’t fix save files corrupted before the update.
Note: This fix won’t bring back any of the files you lost before the update due to the glitch.
This update will ensure that no other save file will go corrupt in the future.
About Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077 is a 2020 action role-playing video game developed by CD Projekt Red and published by CD Projekt, based on video game designer Mike Pondsmith’s game series.
Set in a dystopian cyberpunk universe, the player assumes the role of “V,” a mercenary in the fictional Californian city known as “Night City,” where they deal with the fallout from a heist gone wrong that results in an experimental cybernetic “bio-chip” containing an engram of the legendary rock star and terrorist Johnny Silverhand (played by Keanu Reeves) threatening to slowly overwrite V’s mind; as the story progresses V and Johnny must work together to find a way to be separated and save V’s life.
