Lies of P players woke up to a nightmare upon finding out their save files had completely disappeared after the game’s latest patch.
The developer, Neowiz, quickly released a statement on Nov. 15 and a band-aid solution, but for some players, it was already too late.
Lies of P players found the game immediately auto-saved after the patch, overwriting their previous save file. Even worse, players reported they had auto-sync enabled, replacing the current save file uploaded to the cloud server. This essentially gave them a bugged cloud save as well as a bugged local save file.
Regardless of what the origin of the bug is, the developer already acknowledged the bug and is working on a fix. While there wasn’t any timeframe provided, I imagine this is very high in its priorities. Losing your save in a Soulslike game is enough for a player to just quit and never return.
To be extra safe, we recommend disabling cloud save auto sync in your PlayStation 5 settings and manually uploading your current Lies of P save file before loading up the game. This is essentially a backup just in case you get a bugged save. Unfortunately, since this utilizes the cloud save, only PS Plus subscribers can do this.
