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

How did the review outlets not notice this? Fuck, how did Naughty Dog not notice this? Back in the days where games couldn't constantly get patched this would have never happened
 
How do reviewers play through this game without encountering this glitch?!

Uncharted 2 had a freezing bug before the end game.

Uncharted 3 had a freezing bug at the start of one chapter.

Reviewers and many people don't seem to remember either. Heard they were patched much later.

Both issues happened to me and other people but maybe they were relegated to launch PS3s, not sure. I played them at launch.
 
Was just about to start playing it as I came onto GAF. Great timing I guess.

So, can you manually save at any point?

like I said before.. I have played the game for over a week.. and have not heard or seen this before people in the OT started having the problem.. so it´s not possible to report on this because it literally just started happening yesteday..

Maybe review copies are different than the ones that go gold and are mass produced? It literally doesn't make sense that reviewers don't mention these issues. Or they might assume that if they experience an issue like that they chalk it up to that occurrence being rare or just odd.

It also doesn't help that reviewers never write a separate review strictly for developers.
 
Yup stop playing. Quit to the XMB - the PS3 will reset. Launch game again - autosave works. Shit but it works.

I just finished the part I was up to (only lost about 15 mins) and now it's started doing it again. Probably best not to play until they fix it. Very inconvenient.
 
Happened with me just now. Lost a good hour.

I'm assuming that opting for manual save will not affect the checkpoint system if you die?
 
Just lost a few hours. Fuck me! This is what I get for ignoring GAF for a few hours.

That fucking sucks..goddamnit. I usually have good luck with glitches.
 
The fact that reviewers haven't had this problem, Proberlly means the day 1 patch caused it
 
I played for about 8 hours yesterday prepatch with zero problems, installed the patch today and within an hour I have this bug, I don't believe this is a coincidence.

Same here - 18 hours over 6 or 7 sessions and no issues for me. Must've just got lucky?

Or, it would have happened with no recourse to fix it.
 
Played for a few hours last night and did not encounter this bug but thanks for the warning! Hopefully Naughty Dog will get it patched soon. I usually do a manual save to a different slot before most encounters, so if it does happen I shouldn't lose much progress.

Going to avoid the game this weekend and play something else instead. I might just wait it out until this is fixed.
 
Can we get some info related to patches, console etc to see if some are more likely to get it?

I borrowed my brother in laws PS3 (mine is in storage) and it hadn't been connected to the net so I have the 'update' that came on the disk. Slim PS3 120GB. Played for about 2 hours, no issues.
 
Heading to pick mine up in a few minutes...what happens if you disable auto save? I guess you can save manually...? anywhere?... or not?....if you can't save then this fix is kinda pointless no...?
 
Once again, I had the bug before the patch. It's not that causing it.

If it's not the patch, maybe it's some sort of weird "we flipped the switch to ON and now something isn't right"?

...Does the bug happen if you're playing offline (regardless of patch status)?
 
Oh man, my copy is coming today and I've been dying to play this. This is not cool.

So is the manual saving option described earlier in the thread not actually working or something?

How many triple A PS2 games had gamebreaking bugs?

What I could imagine is that they told the reviewers that they'll fix it with a day 1 patch, however would that be still be pretty unprofessional for the reviewer if he doesn't adress it all
