So I'm about 40 hours into this amazing game...and then this happened. Playing the PS4 version on PS5.
The game wasn't letting me save at all. I found a thread on reddit that suggested trying to save in the original Lifepod, and that DID work! But that's the
only place I can save.
If that was all, it'd be a manageable annoyance. But ever since that save error popped up (about half an hour ago) the game has been...weird. The legs of my base foundations no longer appear. The trees I planted are completely black like they're missing the texture. And I'm pretty sure the pop-in is worse now, too.
It doesn't seem like there's much I can do. The game is playable I guess but I'm scared it's going to get worse. :(
Edit: Apparently there's a patch coming soon that may address the issue. (Although I'd take that with a grain of salt since it's apparently been a recurring issue since launch).
And it doesn't seem like it will help already affected save files anyway, so that sucks.
