And so it comes out you need to be cheesing the game for this to even be an issue... Doesn't matter though I'm sure the thread will remain open while we still can't have a PC performance thread...

Eurogamer: GOG advises Cyberpunk 2077 players to "keep a lower amount of items" to avoid permanently corrupting save files(Up: Patched)

Ah yes , the whole world revolves around PC. Now I see your angle. For whatever reason this site is full of posters lately that are going into anything negative Cyberpunk because of issues of performance, their management lying to people, refund issues etc. and hitting the thread with "Welp sucks for you guys GOTY." That is supposed to add what exactly?

It's a PC only issue lol.... And for it to even be a problem you need like 10000 items (aka cheesing the game). So if the argument is why are you only talking about the pc version in this thread, well, it's only a confirmed issue on PC and even that's dubious.
Reminds me of the save file problems the Witcher games have on PC. Witcher 1 and 2 in particular have a problem where there's no limit on the number of simultaneous saves you can have and individual save files were relatively big, so depending on how you played after a while you ended up with like 10GB of save files. Maybe that hard 8MB limit was an attempt to correct this?
More generally, I think we need to have an honest discussion about what CDPR was ever actually good at as a game developer. The Witcher games are mostly just good because of world building, quest writing, and impressive tech (even Witcher 1 worked black magic on the Neverwinter Nights engine). None of them have great combat and the first two were straight-up Eurojank upon release.
Witcher 3 actually stands out as uncommonly stable for a CDPR game. People assumed they'd just gotten better and made it into the AAA big leagues, but if anything Cyberpunk 2077 feels like a "correction" back to where Witcher 1 and 2 were upon launch.

Just throwing out some numbers here, but I'm like 50 hours into the game, 15 different save files which altogether add up to 60mb. I pick up a ridiculous amount of stuff and am walking around with every single clothing item I've come across thus far, as well as every food item that I never use, way too many weapons I don't use, every single note/data item I come across... I'm not sure what you would have to be doing to hit this issue, but I'd imagine anyone not doing a massive dupe fest attempting to become a billionaire, this is probably not going to be an issue for a normal player.
My save's up to 3.6MB at the very beginning of Act 2, I've done no duping or even Space Oddity, but engaged with crafting and upgrading and looted/deconstructed everything I saw. My very first save was 1.5MB so, yeah there's been enough of a growth in the time I've put in for me to be concerned, ESPECIALLY as issues start popping up at 6MB
"Somewhat buggy" is one hell of an understatement. You can't ignore everything that's come out about this game in your quest to defend it.
There are better games to choose before Flight Simulator comes to mind lol
On PC I would say that's an accurate description... In fact I'd say I've seen less bugs in 40hrs of playtime than lots of games. I think that's a pretty common sentiment tbh...
Until this game is fixed, I'll "keep a lower amount" of Cyberpunk 2077 copies. Zero to be exact.
Yeah I also thought that was a pretty silly comparison lol. Hades sure. Alyx sure (although hardware locked to a small playerbase).
But flight simulator? As some kind of paradigm of a great PC launch? Yeah no lol.
Is like the whole Fallout 76 situation all over again. Never played the game, but damn that disaster was so so entertaining.
I feel like this hasn't been said enough in here. The game deserves the shit it is getting, but folks are just piling on at this point. Also agree on the PC performance thread but I know that ship has sailed. :(
CDPR has really found themselves between a rock and a hard place here. They have to fix the game.. but these glaring issues... they can only so so much. This is the fruit of their 8 year labor lol
Lost all their credibility, all their good will, all their hype all in one launch lol

it's a funny warning and also funny/sad that this can happen but it's also a non issue imo. When I read about this I checked my file and it was around 4mb when I was over 30 hours into the game so I don't worry about it at all.
Huh.
... That might be the last straw for me. The AMD CPU issue was amateur hour stuff... the random, frequent bugs were legitimately annoying (jump and double jump randomly deciding to not work, a severe bug causing V to keep hugging a dead body after a stealth kill forcing a mission restart, clipping into the driver's seat during a certain story mission upon every checkpoint reload... the list goes on). But to say that "hey, if you're holding too much stuff, your save might derp, and if it does you're SOL" is a bridge too far.
I've been having fun so far even with the many issues, but at this point I'm just going to beeline through the story missions so I can shelve this, pending a comprehensive fix.

I wouldn't say this is entirely conclusive. User from the CDPR forums.
I avoided this problem by getting a refund.
Honestly cyberpunk is in an anthem like place. I'm not sure they can patch their way out of it. The game engine needs to be reworked, not tweaked with patches. I've worked on games that were over a year out that were in a better place than this launched in.

No, we can and we will its just CDPR's turn right now. At least CDPR hasn't doxxed their customers by sending support tickets to other users randomly like Bethesda did during the Fallout 76 bag fiasco.
Completely agree, in fact I don't think we're discussing this topic as much as we should. I think in the case of CP2077 it even ruinied the game somewhat. It was so anticipated that the devs/publishers just wanted to get it into the hands of customers asap. It was a case of damned if they do/don't as even delays were met with critical response. The biggest issue was obviously them announcing it so damn early where the game was literally just a concept.
No it's a recognised issue, the save files starting to bug out at 6MB and corrupting at 8MB. It's just not linked to sheer number of things in your inventory at one time, and more likely the production of components by dismantling things or by looting things (So, likely not directly just linked to duping items)
That's your takeaway from the thread?
Edit:
As stated above, there are countless of examples of this occurring. Nr. of items is not the only factor here.

I'm asking because Im looting and dismantling alot. My save file is 4MB right now. Seems like a bizarre issue that makes no sense to happen in this day and age.
Stop playing the game how you want, it's not even an issue for me! And it's not even buggy in my experience so the others must play the game wrong! /s
Quick!
Someone update that "weird nerds and elon musk" simpsons jpg with CDPR
Some of y'all in this thread love to deflect for your favorite billion dollar companies

I've played 70 hours on PC and it's a shame that such a great game (story-, quest- and world-wise) destroys itself in so many ways. I had very small issues while playing, unfortunately I can't progress in a important sidequest right now (thanks 1.05!) but the overall experience is just incredible for me personally.
I mean it's pretty clear how many.
Less than it will take to break the game obviously.
Use your brain, moran
/s obv
The problem with skyrim was different, The game would remember every single non default item placement for eternity ballooning the save file
Checked all my saves and theyre all a bit over 6MB, guess ill have to sell those consumables or somethin
If item components count towards this i picked the autojunk perk early on so essentially they coudve shipped the game with a perk in the game that breaks the game permanently, what a fucking mess

minimum save file for ps4 games is 10.4 MB
i mean Flower even has a file sze of 10.4
I haven't played the game, but unless there are items whose properties are defined from an algorithm (like a soda can with infinite combinations of colours or something), why wouldn't each item in the game have a place in a lookup table, and a simple integer of how many you have? I must be missing something because I can't see how they've made a problem of what sounds like a simple solution.
This kind of issues are usually time consuming to validate (even if encountering them are absolute), mostly because of the enormous amount of time required to be spent on a particular version of the game being tested over a long playthrough and the need to play it a certain specific way.
My guess is that it is something which the would have been brought up, but maybe just requiring validation that something like this does happen when you explicitly play a specific way. If it was indeed validated, then its probably something which was/is not high up in priority to be fixed immediately (the game does have a rather large amount of odd behavior other than this).
It really is incredible isn't it? Even All the pre-release nonsense and then what happened after it was released and you still have people running defense force for CDPR, I don't know why people are so attached to this game. If you're having fun great ,good for you ,but read the room
