A server side issue botching up the saving process. Now I've heard it all.

Makes 0 sense. Why have a server involved in a local sp save?

 

[Corto]

Solved!

 

[uncleniccius]

The online multiplayer is Terrible! Wow, worst I've played in years. Clunky controls and view, bullet sponge enemies, etc

This game is turning out to be one horrible disappointment.

I couldn't disagree more, I like the pace, and the controls are fine.

@cbalestra
The autosave issue was a problem w/ our servers. No patch needed to fix it, just re-launch the game. Thanks again

[Ravensmash]

The more I read about this the more I'm thinking of just renting it from redbox.

Well if it makes any difference, I and a lot of others are having a blast with the multiplayer.

 

[Tunic]

Thanks for sharing this information. Won't start my playthrough until after work. Very unfortunate to those that lost progess over this though. =/

 

[GeNoMe]

Yay! It's happy time again

 

[cormack12]

So is 3 hours gameplay loss the most we're talking about losing or has anyone lost significantly more?

 

[Moobabe]

Solved!

So our saves are back? Or we're now safe to actually play the game?

I lost about 5.

How else do you think these games track all these SP stats. 1 million hours played, 50,000 headshots etc.

 

[RobbieH]

So a server issue cost me 3 hours of single-player? Wow. Xbone always-on infinite cloud power is going to be so much fun.

 

[Acorn]

Staying offline, not risking losing 4 bloody hours again.

 

[Radec]

Great work gaf.

Now activate Cbalestera's account!

 

[batman2million]

Yes, Christophe Balestra confirming on twitter that the issue is fixed. It was server side.

What part of saving would have issue from the server side? What part of saving would have to do with servers?

Isn't the game supposed to be saving into the HDD.

EDIT: I see it's been answered above. Still seems troublesome. I wonder how the casual/ uninformed player would react to this.

 

[uncharted86]

But usually you collect such data without interfering with the most important process in a game - being able to save!

 

[Carl]

Nice work, bugtesters!

 

[Monty Mole]

Yes, Christophe Balestra confirming on twitter that the issue is fixed. It was server side.

Ugh, clouds!

 

[i-Lo]

So does this mean that for people who lost around a chunk of play time, they can get it back?

 

[Corto]

I lost about 5.

I think we're safe to play now without losing play time. I don't know what happened to previous glitched saves though, as I haven't started playing yet.

THE POWER OF THE CLOUD, LADIES AND GENTS. THE POWER. OF. THE CLOUD.

Bwahahahahahaha

 

[Interfectum]

Too late, already cancelled my PS4 pre-order. Going 100% Xbone next gen.

 

[Cmerrill]

I couldn't disagree more, I like the pace, and the controls are fine.

I'm shocked anyone could enjoy it. In my opinion it's the worst I've played this generation.

You can't even shoot unless ou hold L1 which instantly puts you in a slow, clunky view that is impossible to aim and takes even longer to kill anyone with.

 

[Alej]

History in the making!

 

[jacobs34]

Good on them for finding a fix, still a bummer for those who lost progress.

 

[Moobabe]

So does this mean that for people who lost around a chunk of play time, they can get it back?

Just checked my game - nope, back to my old auto save.

 

[toastyToast]

I'll leave it to you guys to make sure it's fixed.

Quite a few people like it. It won't be to everyone's taste, but it is far better than I expected.
Yo should try it again, I struggled with the controlz at first too.

 

[uncharted86]

@cbalestra: "We just gather stats to see many people play the game and the kind progress they make."

Maybe you should start working on a patch so that the game can still autosave if your stat collecting server is not responding...

 

[GRIP]

The more I read about this the more I'm thinking of just renting it from redbox.

Maybe try playing it yourself and forming your own opinion?

 

[Sgtpepper89]

Havent connected my ps3 to the internetz in like a year so I guess its safe for me then..
Assuming it dont need some kind of update of the ps3 software to even be working.

 

[Mononoke]

Glad this was fixed. This makes me happy. Going to pick the game up now and play all day.

 

[i-Lo]

Bwahahahahahaha

Just checked my game - nope, back to my old auto save.

:'(

I haven't got my copy yet and am still contemplating whether I should still play the game offline in fear that their servers may not be able to hold up.

Well it's not meant to be fast paced like the Uncharted series - the ideal scenario would be sneaking round someone and getting head shots in.

I think the aiming is pretty good too - especially if you take time aim up your targets.

Edit: I presume that you're making use of the crafting/store system to upgrade your weapon during the match, right?

I'm really trying, I cant get use to the view and bullet sponge enemies. All they had to do was emulate Uncharted 2 and tweak things.

 

[Dragon1893]

Now that this is out of the way play the game people, it's incredible.

 

[-Amon-]

@cbalestra: "We just gather stats to see many people play the game and the kind progress they make."

Yes they should have thought about that. But not with a patch, that possibility should have crossed their mind from the start.

arne ‏@arnemeyer 4s
@mubly It's unfortunate that some people have lost a lot of progress. But we've found that won't happen now.

Super.

 

[Neuromancer]

I don't really understand how a server can mess up saves for a single player game. But at least it's over now.

 

[Skellig Gra]

So who is going to test this out for us?

 

[arne]

If you haven't seen it already, we have we've been investigating and have discovered where the issue was -- the cause was from our servers for The Last of Us, which were capturing player statistics.

We've made a change to the servers. Quit any game in progress out to the XMB and restart the game. Existing saves are fine.

Single-player and multiplayer are both okay to play (since some of you were playing offline).

 

[.la1n]

Solved!

Hooray! Seems to be working so far...

Thanks Arne, absolutely loving the game so far.

Arne, no chance it'll happen again?

It's a bitch to lose so much game time, but could be worse. Thanks for the quick fix.

 

[Magicpaint]

Glad to hear it has been resolved.

 

[crazy_about_denise]

New patch, installed it. Still, autosaving all day in start menu. Once again I'm screwed without a fault of my own.
At least the progress lost wasn't that dramatic and the games fucking amazing.

 

[Moobabe]

That was almost an apology.

 

[StevePharma]

Good shit Naughty Dog for getting on it this early in the morning (for you guys I'm guessing).

 

[SturokBGD]

The cynic in me says this was done deliberately as a stab at the Xbone...

 

[ColinZeal]

5 hours played, 3,5 lost. NO WORRIES!!! Kinda pissed...
