A PSA to the crafters and hoarders of Night City

Watch out all you crafters and hoarders: aCyberpunk 2077bug is causing players' saves to become corrupted if the files become too large. It seems crafting in particular can help save files grow to dangerous sizes. CD Projekt Red are advising players to “use an older save file to continue playing and try to keep a lower amount of items and crafting materials” to avoid the problem, because once your files are corrupted, there’s no getting them back.

“The save file size limit might be increased in one of the future patches, but the corrupted files will remain that way,“a support pagesays.

While CDPR don’t give hard numbers, some playersreportthat saves become slow to load at 6MB, then past 8MB they become corrupted and won’t even load.
