The Last of Us' autosave has a glitch. Read if you're playing. [Apparently fixed]

If you buy a game on day 1 it shouldn't be fundamentally broken and spit your progress back in your face. This kind of shit is outrageous.

I liked the game but I am not going to replay 3 hours because of a save glitch. I understand that they have to reach a deadline and don't always have a lot of money for QA but save glitches are a breaking point for me.
I did the same thing when the Dark Souls save bug wiped out my 20 hour + save the week it came out.

#PS4NoDRM really worked. Imagine bugs like these preventing you to go offline if there was always online setup.
LOL!

Guys please try the off-line approach and let us know if it works.

It's more like you're going to need the internet to patch their broken physical game.
Post if you have no issues after playing offline with and without the patch test both.
@PSTrueGamer Can you signed out, launch the game, stay offline and play. I need to know if the problem still occurs. Thanks

Did you keep the patch? If so that is good news.

With the patch or no patch?

Just to be clear before I buy this, the auto save is not working correctly? But manual save is working fine?
And that is... Gamebreaking to people? Having to manually save?
Please tell me I'm missing something here.

There was no patch prior to launch. Personally, I didn't have any save problems throughout the whole game.
Patched or not?

So you can still be signed into your account, you just have to make sure you aren't connected to PSN?
That would be a simple fix if the case.
Are you patched?

I dunno why so many people sign in when playing a game like this anyway... I can't stand seeing 'Iluvbewbz4eva is online' in the top right all the time.

Okay so:
I got the issue at (small spoilers)
. I hold the PS button and select quit. The PS3 does the '3 beeps' before loading up the XMB.
I select "Continue" this time and I get to the same area as I was at before and check the pause menu, again the bug has occurred. I can't hit save, load, quit, restart encounter, etc.
I do the same as above and get the PS3 beeping 3 times again with the XMB loading up. After seeing the bit about playing offline, I sign out of PSN, load up the game, select continue and end up at the bit just before
. I check the pause menu both at this time and after the whole scene has finished and I have gotten past the area I was in.
I can save now, manually and load and autosaving seems fine.
(a lot of details but I'm trying to be as specific as I can so I can send this post in a tweet to the ND guy)

The Sewers, near the very end of it with the door and the fighting infected with only Joel/Henry

the infected start coming while Elle and that boy get through the window above the door.

Manually saving re-enabled autosave and they were annoyed by that

Yay!
Very glad to hear this. Now I can play when I get home.
Sorry you guys had to be the guinea pigs...
So the constant here is being signed out and offline, the variable is patched vs. not patched. Lets see if that matters in the end.
"The incredible tension of combat was only topped by my anxiety over possible save glitches."
Did any Plus member choose to save to the cloud?
I though it was confirmed that the patch wasn't the cause.

Or dying! (presumably if you die it'll try to load your last save from hours back?)
It's the ultimate challenge.

When the bug triggers it prevents you from manually saving and exiting the game. So you have to restart the whole console. So if you start the game finish the prologue and the bug triggers and you don't realize for 2hours you're screwed.
You cant force a manual save while the auto save bug is up.
You can try and reload to an earlier point but that doesn't always work. Most people seem to think the bug is caused by being signed into PSN so sign out before playing.

All for more reasons to not have an always online console.

I haven't run into the issue at all, I have the patch, and I've played almost entirely offline. The exception was I signed in for like an hour last night at the end of my play session.
Playing offline for 1 hour now (with patch) and no bug yet .
Will update if anything happens
I personally disable the wifi in PS3 setting

Yeah. Not going to do that to a supposed gem such as this one. Just wait..

Yeah, seems like it. Both with or without the patch, but signed out seems to work.
