For those enjoying the game, a nasty bug was recently discovered that can corrupt save files if they go over 8 MB in size due to coding issues with the save file size limit.

Similar style bug that was a notable issue with Elder Scrolls series games.

The actual in-game text is "saved data is damaged and cannot be loaded."

This isn't an isolated issue, as it seemingly was just a ticking time bomb. Doing things like crafting and acquiring more items/gear triggers the bug, which pushes save files over the 8MB edge: it was only a matter of time until it happened.

Mind, this bug was officially acknowledged over on the CDPR forums, where the current fix on PC is to back up all your saves, repair the game, then erase the corrupted saves and replace them. As a forum moderator recommends, "keep doing this" as you troubleshoot, as "it can often be the loading process, not the save process" that corrupts the save. "Keep doing it" eh?

Right now, the CDPR support center statement is that a future patch "might" increase the save file size limit.
