TWD: Save Data Corrupted (PS3)

edited October 2012 in Game Support
Something weird happen to my The Walking Dead game save data. I was all set and ready to play my third play-through for Episode 2. I started up the game and it said "Save Data Corrupted"... All my data was erased!!! Anybody else have this problem? Now I have to start over.

It's also worth mentioning that once I turned on the PS3, I went and synched my trophies then I started up the game.

    Data usually gets corrupted when it was shutdown during a save.

    Dude the same shit just happened to me. Made an account to post about this bullshit. I bit my lip and just read the forums when the game was taking so long to be released. I was mad about the monthly promise, but knew there was nothing I could do so I just waited. I waited and the 360 version came out, I waited and the steam version came out, I waited and the PS3 version came out, I downloaded it and then had to wait again for a patch.

    So all of the waiting and I finally get to play. I go through it and loved it and went through a 2nd time with my other save game choosing all different things. So I finish the game, go back to the main screen and turn my PS3 off like normal. A few days later, aka 10 minutes ago this morning, I decide to wake and bake and go for my 3rd playthrough where I play as "..." Lee where I don't say shit usually, AND MY SAVE DATA IS CORRUPT?! Surely this can't mean my PS3 is faulted, it works just fine. Google the error and I see that it has happened to the bunch of you as well. I feel this is complete and utter bullshit on telltales part and not acceptable, since it is a problem with their game and NOT our PS3s.

    We have all pretty much had 15 or so hours of gameplay just completely erased, and I am not willing to go through the game 3 different times AGAIN to play each one their own unique way. I don't even know what to do right now, I probably won't even think about playing this or getting the next episode ever again. Telltale has really f'd up this time, and they are undoubtedly losing a paying customer.

    PS. to compensate for my feelings, I just generated random choices and played the first part again. To express how I feel about TTG, the guy that was stuck in the trap, I cut his leg half off and still left him stuck in the trap for the zombies. Not only was he already done for, now he had a bigger open wound.

    Is this gonna get fixed or what? It's pointless to play if my games are gonna auto delete.

    I completely agree with this. It'll simply be a waste of time if save files keep getting erased.

    Buuuump. Can anyone see me?

    same thing here on the pc

    Is it fixed?

    nope

    Yup... this just happened to me again. After it corrupted the first time and erased all my save slots, I re-started playing the game. First playthrough was fine all the way through Ep 2. Second playthrough was fine as well. Third playthrough, when loading up Episode 2 after just completing Ep. 1 it wouldn't load. Got that message, "Save Data Corrupted."

    I know Telltale is working on a fix, possibly, and I hope it comes out soon. I'm just frustrated after investing all this time only to have my saves erased.

    Also worth mentioning, if it helps TellTale; I do have an older PS3 model (Original 60GB Model from launch).

    I don't know if I want to invest anymore time into this game, but I will patiently wait for a fix, hopefully.
  • Happened to me today...
    I feel your pain.... They stole hours from our live by making a game that is glitchy as fuck....
    Bethesda ( Which sucks ) ----> (TTG lower than shit)

    same thing here, seems at about the third game, ill play once, then again with random to oppisite choices, then when i go to play the third time i get the corrupted data. not even going to start a 2nd game this time.

    I emailed Telltale about the issue, and they told me that they have a patch comming out "very soon" to fix the issue. I still dont feel like playing through the game again like that, but i dont have much choice. I bought the Season Pass.

    I bought the season pass for the ps3 version of this game, and have played through both of the current episodes out now counting six seperate times due to 3 corrputed save file glitches. I didn't mind so much the first time, started getting irritated the second time, now I'm just downright pissed off after losing about 24 hours worth of total game time. Apparently I'm not the only one having these sorts of problems with ps3, and I'm wondering if TTG might give me a refund, or at least allow me a download the pc version.

    :mad::mad::mad:
    We've been playing a bit of the game each evening. We had 3 saves from Episode 1 with different choices, and were half way through Episode 2 with our 2nd choice set.
    Turned the PS3 on this evening to play and got the "Your data is corrupt" message.
    This is terrible! We're going to have to do that all again. We've bought the season pass, but how can we hope to play through all the episodes if our save data is lost?
    Nightmare.

    If you have PS+ then you can copy your lost data back but it still crashes and you have one chance to copy your day within 24 hours :mad:
