DA:I PS4 Corrupted Save File

I lost my 1st 8 hrs of gameplay last night. Upon fast traveling, the game crashed mid-save. I had been manually saving to a single save file believing this was seperate from the quick save slot. This now appears to not be the case. I assume the first save made also acts as the quick save slot. Aside from this being completely back-asswards from the established convention, this game will now be treated as a Bethesda game and multi saved continuously.

  • I just experienced this same error on my PS4.  I was trying to join a multiplayer session when the game crashed as we were about to launch into the map.  When I restarted the game I had the error message at the title screen saying there was a corrupted save file.

    That stings! Is there any confirmation that multiple saves is a safe solution? This is a real game breaker if not.
  • I read someone post something about all of them being wiped or corrupt but not able to confirm. Waiting for EA to get back to me but sure there is nothing they can do.  

    In the meantime, not sure I want to risk it or not, just trying to warn people and raise awareness to the issue.  I reckon' it will be picking up a lot of steam.  

    Happened to me while trying to do a fast travel back to the Havens from the Storm Coast.

    FYI,

    I was able to go to my storage management and delete the corrupted file.  Luckily I had saved it 25 hours in and that file is still there.  Booted back up and now I'm good to go.


    WHEW!!!

    Make sure you save at least every couple of hours.

    Good luck!!!

    Good to hear it wasn't a complete loss. I was writing over a single save file with a blind assumption the auto save was a seperate save as is the norm. I'll investigate further later with your solution. Honestly, I didn't like how people were treating my dwarf anyway. Went with a human this time.

    Thanks for the solution. I went into my data management. Despite only using a single save, my last 5-6 saves were available here. I deleted the corrupt one and voila.
