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

Problem is that should not be done so it can interfere with the saving process.Valtýr;63588431 said:

Where ever the first auto save point that happened during your current play session. So I wouldn't try to make any more progress now because you will lose it.

Guys, try going offline. OP updated his post. If it works then reply that it is working. This is likely a server issue on ND's side.

Hmmm.. I guess that means staying signed out this isn't the solution?
I assume when the game boots up it senses whether or not you're connected. If it see's a connection it will be going through whatever server-side process during each autosave. It's possible that this process is timing out and maybe there's not a trigger to cancel the process if it cannot make a connection a set amount of time.
Again, this is all assumption and I could be dead wrong.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
Save issues are one of the most tested areas for games, especially for the platform certification QA teams at MS/Sony/Nintendo. Many a time have I seen a cert report citing a save issue that blocked submission.

Just happened to me, was about to post about it in the OT before I saw this huge thread lol. Fortunately I was still within the first hour of the game so I didn't lose much at all, but still. Gonna play it offline for now.

Hey guys, just got a reply from Christophe Balestra on Twitter.
He said to ask people who have been playing it offline to quit the game, sign in and re-launch and try it then.

its probably player progress data. You know similar to what valve gets on source games.

Awesome that it seems to work so long as you're not online.
Even more reason to stay away from Xbox One.

again.. I played last night, and had no problems.. that was before any patch. And I have a review copy.
Will try tonight, to see if I can make this thing happen with my copy. I am at work..
It seems to. Not 100% on it yet, but people have tried it offline and had no probs. Yeah just sign out of PSN

So, playing offline it is. Good work everyone.
Another victim fellow GAFfers, I managed to save a couple of time but now it "hangs" in the auto Save at the menu.
I will wait until my Download reaches 100% (Digital Version) and then will unplug the Internet to see if it can be fixed offline. I just won't pull the cable now because I'm too concerned it may corrupt my Download progress or something.
Will report back then.

Definitely something to do with PSN.
Glad there's an easy fix to avoid the problem, shame that this happened at all though.

So I think Sony did this on prpose to troll MS nearly always online policy, had it happen to me patched and on line. I signed out of PSN and restarted, selected load game and i only had lost 5 mins so i was lucky i noticed it.
You don't have to unplug the internet, just sign out.

So... do we know yet if just staying off PSN fixes it or turning off your internet on your PS3 as a whole?
Good thing it's optional.
By this industry's standards this is a major bug. No game should release with a save problem, its normally supposed to prevent approval in ALL cases. Except of course when its your "own game" apparently lol.

OK guys, I think we're good. Disable your internet connection.

" I don't have a 'verified' GAF account yet. Can you asked them to quit the game, sign-in and relaunch, from my behalf."
So to those who fixed the problem by staying offline, try and see if this breaks the game again or does it stay fixed.

I'm about to get it. So should I update the game, then just disable the internet and then start playing?

I'm guessing the devs are gathering data about how everyone is playing the game. Something must of happened on their side and, well, here we are talking about the bug.
you mean "Sign out of PSN"..

I signed out from the PSN. Did not work fellow GAFfer. Which is why I want to turn off the Internet to make sure.

Did you start fresh or were you already playing when you disconnected?
I was signed in everytime I played.. and I wasn´t instructed to play signed out (If I was I didn´t get the memo) and I have never had this problem..
Shit really? I'll just turn of the internet to be sure.

I mean disable the connection of your PS3, not literally your internet connection lol. Signing out should work too.
Edit: Monk says signing out didn't work.

Nope, I know various reviewers who were signed in and never had the problem. Seems to be a launch day server issue.
