new to the game from the PS4 PSN freebie… have all added download content.
Randomly get game crashes after killing Rivals, then get a “Corrupted save file” alert after that. Thankfully I don’t lose much EXP, loot, etc. But should be noted. since starting (1 month playtime, lvl 29, unk hours) I have had approx 4 of the same crashes. all after killing a Rival. No looting, no movement, etc. Have had multiple other issues but by looking through the forums they have already been voiced.
PS4 console
i have 2 sd cards connected to my PS4 for 2 back-ups of my save file, I had a similar thing happen to me once, 
Everytime I leave the game I back-ups my save file 2 times, also, the cloud won’t be around forever, sd cards I can touch
@Celticphoenix Yeh it sucks this bug is still around, you should use a SD card, or a USB flash drive.
I have all my PS games latest savedata stored in one, and even so, remember nothing lasts forever, eventually you should get a new backup save system.
seems a lot of old bugs still exist by looking through the forums. sorta sad but not unexpected from a small team with big ambitions. thankfully there are work arounds like you both said and I’m always making sure to get into my inventory screen after every big fight to trigger a save so as I said before I don’t lose much. just I am at the point I’m just hunting exp weapons so when a rival death crashes the game that sorta hurts a bit. not sure what is in their loot profile that is causing it.
