Fucking mad lad.

Fucking mad lad.

Lmao, what's next? Downloading this game might burn your house down or something? This game really is the gift that keeps on giving. Bethesda be like "damn, they beat us on the save file front!"
That's just pure made up bullshit in so many ways. Just because they are a moderator doesn't mean anything.
I'm on Stadia so I guess I will just stop crafting since I have no way of checking the save data.
I don't think a delay would help.
More and more, what's become apparent with CP2077 is that CDPR simply did not have the expertise necessary on their staff to develop a game of this type in any sort of realistic timeframe. They needed to poach talent from a company like Ubisoft or Rockstar to acquire SME designers and programmers who could get them where they needed to be on the project, but apparently didn't; instead they just assumed they could reverse-engineer decades of open world game development in the course of a game development cycle, and this was the result.
The issues this game has are problems that studios who specialize in making open worlds with ambient AI have basically run into and solved at some point over the course of years and years of developing them, and while it's possible to just bumble your way through them without tapping into that enormous knowledge base of already-solved problems, it really isn't practical on a game of this scale.
Like I hate to say it, but if you turned over the source code to Rockstar they could probably have most of this mess sorted in a few months.
you should keep collecting as many items as possible and crash google
So is this just determined by how much is in your inventory at any particular moment? Or is it based on how many items you've changed the state of period?
Can you bring the number down by simply stashing or selling items?
In any case, this sounds like another case of a developer failing to anticipate how players would actually play their game. It remains to be seen of CDPR will come to accommodate how people are actually playing their game.

Yeah, I have so much shit it's not even funny and my saves are 4.5 mb. Unacceptable to have save issues like this in a game where so much is built around personal taste and playstyle. Losing a save would be devastating.
They should pull the game off the market, refund people, go back to drawing board. or better, cancel this game completely for the next year.
what a joke of a company, it is pure amateur hour.

This is literally the worst bug of all time.
Jesus Christ. I'm sorry - the devs DO deserve some blame here.

If you remove an item from your inventory such as when you convert it into crafting materials or selling it / dropping it, wouldn't be smart to remove any scraps of data associated with said items since they are no longer in your inventory or occupying space on your character sheet.
Or some kind of kill / flush command that removes any remnants.
I know you can do this in Skyrim via console commands, like dead bodies can be totally unloaded from the world space. After a period of time the world state can even reset which effects enemy bandit camp spawns reloading. Essentially clearing a cache so dirty data isn't accumulated which leads to save bloat.
Some sort of utility which allows you clean your save from extraneous pointless data would do the trick, no?
Such a limitation seems to do nothing but punish a player for picking up objects and using them as intended. It seems the fix here is to allow the game to address save files larger than 8mb instead of treating them as corrupt. Hell 8mb seems a super small limit to begin with.

This is what I found.
Found it on Google Stadia your Save games are in Google Takeout. –
https://takeout.google.com/?pli=1
Only check mark Stadia by the bottom and then download/export the save files.
Your saves should be in \Takeout\Stadia\GAMING\GAME_SAVE from the downloaded zip.
If you want to export your latest save to your pc then from the long list of zips extract the one with the highest number, in my case Cyberpunk 2077_1024_gamesave.zip.
Rename the extracted folder ManualSave-1 and place it in %userprofile%\Saved Games\CD Projekt Red\Cyberpunk 2077 on your pc. Replace anything that is still there. You can now load it from the game.
I checked my save file on the XSX earlier today after hearing about this and it's currently 48 MB, so it's seemingly a PC-only bug for now...I'm still going to keep saving before and after I do any mission though!
IDK this reads like gibberish to me. Witcher 3 had issues with slowdown with huge inventories but I've never heard of a save file being capped at 8 megs.
Why would you give each identical item in a stack its own ID instead of making a stack an ID, count tuple? And how big are these item IDs? 32-bit integer IDs would allow for just under 4.3 billion unique items, my initial save file is around 2.5 megs – figure even half the remaining space could be consumed by integers and that's, what, an inventory limit of 350,000 unique items? And why wouldn't consoles run into this issue if it's fundamental to the nature of the engine's item IDs? This seems like an ass-pull from someone who knows just enough jargon to sound convincing to laypeople.
The bug here seems like it's probably much simpler – hard coded an 8 meg max on the output buffer and lost data at the tail end of the file during write, making it unrecoverable.
edit: as part of the explanation, the mod quotes someone who says their save file went up in size by 3 Megs after crafting 1000 of an item. Taken at face value this would imply that a single individual itemID or inventory entry consumes 3,146 bytes, which is just incredibly unbelievable.

the next hotfix removes gameplay and you cannot do anything so the game can't crash. problem solved.
Being a moderator on the official forum has got to be one hell of a time right now
Yo, like seriously? What the fuck happened with this game? I haven't seen anything like this for a highly anticipated game like this before.
LMAO. I preordered it, but haven't played one fucking second of it due to wanting to wait until at least a month's worth of patches were out. Looks like I'm going to have to keep waiting.
Yesterday was a class action lawsuit, today is save data corruption. Looking forward to tomorrow's issue!
Next update will hopefully nuke the game from peoples hard drives.
patch notes:
"we´ve added a self destruct routine, if you see a countdown, everythings going as we planned."
Just been watching somebody on Stadia playing who died, and then couldn't respawn as his save is broke.
Will have to check my game size when I am back at my pc. Doubt it is nearing 8 mb but better safe than sorry.
And wow at that post from the moderator. That is almost victim blaming, they sound mad that people play an RPG with a lot of junk to pick up by... picking up a lot of junk?

Why not get a refund? Rebuy the game if/when it's fixed and at a lower price.
Hey, if they rebalanced the game and focused on hand placed loot/quest rewards, that would be a significant improvement.
The loot system is one of the worst parts of the game.
What an oddly snippy response from that guy.
"well yeah but...you're playing the game wrong. Just restart."
funny to see yongyea now riding the cyberpunk drama alert/sinking ship media train after he was a hypebeast for the game for months, dude is truly a feckless hack lol
Supposedly it's fairly well-known in the industry that CDPR has a high turnover rate.

This was my first assumption. It would also explain why a future patch wouldn't fix previously corrupted files.
