Was on the very last stage of the long battle, died and put the PS5 in sleep mode. I woke the system up and my PS5 was acting funny, restarted and now my save won't even load.

77 hours in, gone. I've never had a corrupted file on any game system I've played. I just watched the conclusion of the battle and the ending cutscene on YT, disgusted.

Great game though.

I'd never put the console in sleep mode especially with an active game to be honest, I just don't trust the systems.

Yeah that would kill the game for me. That sucks. Is there a cloud save to back it up?

Trying is the first step towards failure, so just dont give it a shot and you cant dissapoint.

Back in the day, my Legend of Dragoon save got corrupted right at the final boss. I also had a backup, and that went too. Ever since then, I have been little overboard with my backups. I never overwrite a save unless there is a save limit. When I played Tales of Symphonia I think I almost filled an entire memory card with the saves. When I played Deus Ex, my save folder was larger than the game install.

it's best to play it safe. even if have to go overboard.

there has been games that have save corrputed. thank god there isn't many of those (ratchet deadlocked and geometry wars 3 had that happen).

Did he put it in sleep mode too? During the final boss?

i think it's an alternate scenario. the power went out and somehow it did his/her save file in.

Never had a save get corrupted before but when I was in 4th grade my little sister saved over my FF9 save when I was about to fight Kuja for the last time.

Just restore the latest checkpoint. There should be an auto save next to your manual one.

It happened to me when I was beating the Final Boss in Dragon Quest VI.
The screen froze and I had to reset the game to hear this sound.

Once you're aware of your own art, you can train yourself to identify and replicate the "good" ones...
And hands off the bad ones.
