PS4 Data Corruption (!) When Starting the Game

I have a white original PS4.

Sadly I deleted my saved data too but thankfully have a cloud save from 10days ago.

I have re-installed the game and it still does this. As with others it was fine before this new box appeared. Hopefully they fix it soon, I only started playing a short time ago but love this game (although playing alone). Plus I have just been honked with the Covid so isolating for 10 days and now can’t play it! Typical, hahaha!

considering the error code that its fireing off that little window could very much be EXACTLY whats causing it.

note the error is claiming corruption. if the file that comes after the first one loaded for that little window is corrupted nativly (corrupt from source) then its definitly going to cause the crash and with the semi solution DarkDNB has sugested it would appear that if you get get passed the menu before the corrupt file loads your in the clear.

So this is only happening in the latest 14/18 hours hours?
Maybe i should not even try to play today…
Yesterday everything was ok.

(Damn! This is pretty serious, almost everyone on the Playstation is having this issue)

Come on devs, stop giving us those useless main menu window GZ ads, this time it breaks the game!

PS: Yup I will not try to play it.
I finally have all the level 5* weapons and attachments since yesterday and most of the clothing Blueprints.

Help me please my data has been corrupted on generation zero and I can’t play at all

I’ve never had that when I used to play on PS4, corrupted data saves corrected themselves, I wish I could help hopefully somebody out there can advise, I hope you get this resolved soon !

This has happened with me too, the game crashed as soon as I get to the main menu. I deleted the game and re-installed it, and deleted my saved data (I have a cloud save from about 10days ago), but to no avail. Each time the game hits the main menu (with new PS store sale notification box on it) it instantly errors. I would say the game is borked sadly.

The only thing that can be done rn as suggested in another thread regarding this is spamming X when loading into main menu. This should avoid the crash and the corruption of Data.

I have the same issue. The game crashes when logging in. I try to delete corrupted file on the PS5 Storage folder, but no success. Also reinstalled the game, also no success.

I hope i am not losing more two years of game play… i am not going to be very happy - it such a great game, and unique and this happens….

Salute, m’ droogs ! I won the jackpot : Save Game Corrupted, Restore, Restored Succesfully over and over again. CE-34878-0 = update all you can. No updates available.
Please, don’t tell me I have to wait and save only after the save icon has stopped turning. I know that. I’ve been having a real hard, but fun, time getting to where I am right now in this game for the last two years to ignore the save icon, so I know about that all too well.
Nothing about corrupted save games here tonight, so I guess I’m ****** locally. I thought: maybe some kinda update went wrong. Apparently not. Everything else on PS4 works fine. Anyone any ideas, please ?

Moved to report thread covering the issue.

I was starting my console to play gz and a nanosecond after i was on the main menu, the game crash. I tried a second time and the game tells me that my save file was corrupt, wich was weird because i have receives no corrupted files since 2019. fortunately my console was able to recover the save every time (For the moment). I don’t know why it is so, but it has begun to crashing so often since i buy the “Base support pack” DLC. Maybe this is the cause from all these Crashes. Also, you can only playing this game if you press continue fast enough before its crash instantly and you must quit on ps4 menu. Over wise you crash to.

I haven’t got the Base Support Pack but I also keep crashing in the menu. There are plenty of other posts of PS4/5 players with the same problem, so I think this is a problem with the PlayStation version as a whole.

Platform: PS5 (ps4 version of the game)

Issue: I loaded up my game today to find a data corruption error. I let the game try to repair the data as prompted but once it was done and it loaded to the main menu, it instantly crashed. From this point every further attempt at loading up the game had this same result.

So I figured my data was gone. I then went into my console save storage, deleted the save data and attempted to start from scratch (mind you I had put in over 100 hours and had reached level 31 with a few experimentals). But I had the same result. I accepted TOS and as soon as it hit main menu it crashed. Upon reopening the app, the fresh save data that had just been created was corrupted and the cycle started again.

I deleted the data again and this time reinstalled the entire game and restarted my console to ensure the best possible chance of it working. It did not… the same issue ensued.

So in summary… my save is gone and I can not even play the game at all as every new save instantly becomes corrupted.

Steps to reproduce: I have no idea how to begin to understand what happened but it happens whenever I boot up the app.

Game mode: none. I can’t even get to the main menu.

P.S. I wish I could share the videos and screenshots I sent as reports to PSN but I can not. Hopefully my description was enough.

Game just crashed tried erasing everything still crash at main menu can’t play at all

Delete your local savegame, start the game clean, after you’re in the game quit, then load your backup savegame and start the game again.

Worked for my buddy some time ago.
Idk if it works in the current situation, too.

The problem here is that every time you try to load up the game on PlayStation it crashes the game and corrupts your data. So you can’t play at all.
