willmill97 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 (edited) Apparently this is a common issue for PS4, but my save data just corrupted. I literally just unlocked 50,000,000 points trophy (halfway to Pointdexter) and now I'm back to 12,000,000, I've also lost a fuck load of strums towards Strumillionaire, a fuck load of Hero Power uses, and nearly all my score. Activision have beaten me, as I don't want to have to go through all that shit again, playing songs that I don't want to play, I have succumbed to the devilsh MICROTRANSACTIONS and bought 100 plays so I can just play Lazerray on Expert over and over and over and over again to rack up easy points. Screw this. So my warning is... BACK UP YOUR SAVES Y'ALL. Edited August 14, 2016 by willmill97 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LetsTurnJu-On Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 A warning only 10 months after release? Damn, thats a quicker response time than reporting a crime to my local police. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skateak Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I will have to make sure to keep my save backed up to the cloud. Thanks for the info. I would be pissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tearraven Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 If you have PS+, don't saves back up automatically every night? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaivRules Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 And this is another reason $5.00 a month for Plus could be well worth it for many people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaivRules Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Or even a cheap USB flash drive Does that back up automatically, like Plus? I used that method for a little while, but don't remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but it's at least an option if you don't have plus, better than not having any backup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kam4e2r0n Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 So does this only happen on ps4? any word of the same thing happening on ps3 by chance? I hope not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about PS3 but I have been playing on PS4 since October pretty frequently and my data has never corrupted. It crashes too often but that is more annoying than game breaking. I would still back up your saves anyways. On 11/18/2016 at 6:49 AM, Tearraven said: If you have PS+, don't saves back up automatically every night? If you use rest mode, have the Auto-Upload checked under "Application Saved Data Management" and Stay Connected to the Internet, under "Power Save Settings-Set features Available." Or if you don't use rest mode, you can turn on Auto-Upload and it will upload your saves when the PS4 is powered on.

Wedge19 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Glad to hear the issue wasn't just with me. My saved data corrupted last year and I've never bothered to go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zygo89pl Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Today I've got my 3rd corrupted data error. Ech, it's so frustrating. I've got back up of my save data, but even now I lost 4 or 5 hours of gameplay. What's wrong with You Activison? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure this has anything to do with Sony though... I mean, they are not the ones who makes Borderlands or Guitar Hero. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mechatronix93 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 So I’ve found the only way to prevent your save from corrupting is to NOT exit GHTV to the main menu. If you need to back out, just close the application and reopen. I’ve corrupted my save THREE TIMES NOW and got set back at least 200k strums by trying to back out to the main menu.... Once I get strumillionaire I think I will smash my guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaredOzzy Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Do what @jordan199311 said. This is one way of preventing a crash, sometimes the game crashes just after a song completes and that is just unlucky. I had the same issue as OP and i was probably about 400k strums into strummillionaire and at about 70mil points for pointdexter when my data corrupted, i had to restart all progress. Im currently on 800k strums as i used the jigsaw tehnique for strummillionaire. Pointdexter is gonna be the next grind for me im currently on 18mil out of 100mil.

harrypotter1997 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Also not skipping opening credits seems to help. The only crashes i had for some time are only the random ones during songs. I'm at 910k currently, hope to finish it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dharmaoutlaw Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 So, my save corrupted, fuck this game. Fuck activision for not saving the ONLINE STATS ONLINE!
