Cyberpunk 2077 save file corruption is a big problem

Cyberpunk 2077 release have been one of the most  disappointing launches in the history of video game launches. But it only keeps getting worst for CDPR and the players as a new major bug has been reported. 

A new reddit post have been gaining attention after a user posted about a bug that will corrupt your save files forever. This bug is first reported to be on all platforms, but later there has been numerous posts saying that this is a problem for PC players only.

Cyberpunk 2077 is an open world RPG and looting and crafting is a major part of any RPG games out there. But apparently if you loot and keep so many items, which is how you are supposed to play an RPG, and if the save file reaches the limit of 8MB, this will corrupt your save files and you will get this error message the next time you try to load a save.

According to CDPR officials, "Unfortunately the save is damaged and can't be recovered". People have reported this issue to CDPR and GOG forums and this was the response they got,

There is no actual confirmation on whether they will fix this or not. All we got is, they MIGHT increase the save file size limit in one of future patches. This is not good.

I am one of the few people that have been enjoying the game despite all the glitches on PC. But this actually worries me to play the game again. I have created a character that automatically loot and dismantle and store the items and eventually, any player will cross that 8MB limit and all the time they spend will be lost forever. According to me, CDPR need to fix this before all the visual bugs and everything because this is definitely something that will loose players.

So far we have no confirmation on whether this will be fixed or not, all we can do is wait. And in the meanwhile, I suggest anyone playing to make more manual saves and hope that it dose not reach the 8MB limit.
