Popular Post Sunflower Posted April 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 22, 2019 Just a heads up that there is a huge bug that can happen at the end of Spoiler Canaan's Scenario where upon completing it the game will crash and close. When rebooting the game up, the save file will be corrupt and unusable. While I encountered 5 crashes in the span of 32 hours, this final one corrupted my save. Just a warning to back up before attempting this scenario (which I forgot to do and didn't think was necessary as no guide has this bug pointed out). When I researched it I did find a couple of other people had their files corrupted on this particular scenario so make sure to back up your save! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad I seen this topic before playing Canaan's Scenario. Btw do you think this is an issue with European copies? Yeah I had the same problem when finishing a character's story in a time block too, then when forced to pick another at the selection screen it would crash roughly every 2 time blocks. Possibly! Two that had the same problem were also from the EU, not sure about the others. I noticed some people on the Steam version also had identical issues as well.

I also had to replay everything up to Canaans route because my file got corrupted. Also with the German/European Disc-Version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingpin16444 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Really wish I had seen this before I corrupted my save... should have done my research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izularia Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Thank you for pointing it out. I finished the main story right now, so I'll make sure to back up my save before playing the Canaan scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raidou Kuzunoha XIV Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) After experiencing corrupt saves in AI: Somnium Files earlier this year during a particular section (thankfully very easy to fix/avoid, thanks to the autosave and manual saves), as well as other save file weirdness in some other games (e.g. Shenmue remasters), I've been a little paranoid about starting games now without first looking into them to see if there's any known issues with save corruption. Many thanks for bringing this issue to light, I'll be sure to back up my save before this scenario, and just often in general. From what I gather, it seems this VN only has a single autosave? With presumably no manual save option? Kinda sucks, I like rotating between 2-5 manual saves for reasons such as this, it's definitely saved me having to replay large chunks of a game a few times in the past when saves have corrupted/deleted themselves due to a game crashing/freezing while it was autosaving (mostly experienced this in Bethesda and Bioware games). Edit: Just finished the problematic scenario in question. All seemed fine, when I clicked "load game" after it finished and took me back to the menu, it did crash immediately after loading, which gave me a mini heart attack, but thankfully my save seems to be okay. Did back it up beforehand, but the scenario was surprisingly long and with a VN that doesn't have skipping/fast forward, it would still be a pain getting back to that point. Other than that, the game has only crashed on me once previously. Edited June 23, 2021 by SuperSmexy500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eispan Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) Wow I didn't know about this. Glad I chanced upon this thread, no talk about this in other forums. I'll put a mental note on that chapter and make USB and Cloud saves just to be safe... cheers folks! EDIT: 29.08.2021 - The OP is talking about POST-GAME content, so no one has to worry if this bug affects the main game. It unlocks after finishing the game with both Normal and Good Endings. EDIT: 01.09.2021 - NO crash/data corruption for me. I went through the episode without incident. In fact I just set it to auto via and got bored with this long ass uneventful story. Left the console on and went to bed, got up and trophy was there waiting for me to sync... I played it on the UK Digital version.

depresso-cat Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Happened to me, under the same circumstances, EU copy off ps+. Thankfully autoupload to cloud storage somehow worked for this game, only have to replay both short stories. Close call, this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
