Hmm... none of the review people had this problem??? Wonder if its just a fluke will see when I play my copy later tonight...

Why o why4347d ago (Edited 4347d ago )

Damn, silly goof there nd....im sure they'll get a patch out swiftly. Luckily I cant get to play mine yet..

Gazondaily4347d ago (Edited 4347d ago )

Actually, its not that bad. Realistically, if you're going to end a gaming session, you just manually save the game anyway. Well, that's what I've been doing.

The auto-save function has been working for me but I don't see why anyone would not save the game before they quit. In fact, the way the game is designed, I found that the natural way to go about saving it just press start and save before you quit to the main menu or shut down the PS3; which is precisely what the game allows you to do.

Anyway, I hope people don't lose their saves. I would hate that to happen to me. The game is brilliant but some bits scared the living feces out of me and I just managed to make it through (playing on Hard here) by running for an exit like a little girl. Bloody clickers.

Jdoki4347d ago

That's not true Septic.

If the auto save bug kicks in it does not allow you to do a manual save. The line 'auto saving please wait' shows next to Save Game, Load Game and Reset encounter options, and they cannot be selected.

I lost about an hours worth of game time because of this bug.

I am now manually saving every 30mins or after significant battles / cut scenes.

If when going in to the menu it shows 'auto saving please wait' , and that doesn't clear after a few seconds the bug has kicked in. Best thing is to immediately quit the game and restart it and keep fingers crossed the last auto save was not too long before.

Hopefully ND patch this soon, but its pretty sloppy that it got through QA.

Gazondaily4347d ago

@Jdoki,

Ah damn man, my bad. I didn't know that. I think I've almost finished the game so I'll be keeping an eye for the auto-saving, please wait prompt.

seanpitt234347d ago (Edited 4347d ago )

Yep just played 4 hours this morning loving it and I went to save it just in case the auto save didn't work and it wouldn't let me so I had no choice to turn it off because I wanted to cool my ps3 down. Anyway went back to the game and it didn't save at all for the 4 hours I was playing yes iam pissed off iam just happy it's that awesome of a game so Iam happy to do it all again but be carefull guys its really frustrating.

StanSmith4347d ago

Neogaf users have found that signing out of PSN before starting the game will stop the autosave bug.

Have tried it myself and can confirm it works.

Blackpool4347d ago

Always good to wait a week or 2 after a game comes out because this stuff happens often.

thechosenone4347d ago

they've already fixed the problem so no worries.

limewax4347d ago

This bug actually cost me 6 hours of progress earlier. Longest gaming stint I've had in a while too.

Annoying bug but I'm not going to let it ruin the fun for me. I've been having a blast so far anyway and looking forward to seeing how differently some of these encounters play out next time round

brodychet4347d ago (Edited 4347d ago )

Happened to me, lost my 4 hours of gameplay and had to restart it from the prologue. It's alright though, great game to see twice.

OH, guys there is no patch needed, it was the servers that had an error. So all you needed to do was refresh your game. Mine messed up, and now it works. Trust me!

Nicolee4347d ago

i only lost 1 hour and found out online about this glitch.

mantisimo4346d ago (Edited 4346d ago )

It's not been fixed yet over on the ND forums people are saying its still happening even after the twitter post.

dont know about the turn on and off of psn before play?

one of the Devs is active(ish) in the thread, but they are working on it as we speak.

stage884347d ago

**** this just happened to me. I lost 2 hours. Not sure whether to start again or wait for the patch.

isa_scout4347d ago

I'd wait for the patch. It'd be kinda distracting to have to pause the game every 20 minutes just to see if it "F"ed up or not. I lost about 3 hours or so of progress this morning, and I was pissed.Hopefully ND fixes this today because I can't see playing the SP until it is fixed. It breaks the immersion to be forced to pause your game to see if it is frozen.

Virus2014347d ago

I lost like 4 hours worth of singleplayer. I had a feeling something was up because when I would pause the game it would say Autosaving...

stage884347d ago

It wasn't too bad making up the time. I just went back to the game and managed to get up to the same stage again within one hour.

I feel sorry for all those 4+ hours in though.

Philoctetes4347d ago

This really pisses me off. My copy is out for delivery and will be waiting for me when I get home. I rarely preorder mainly-SP games anymore because you can't trust professional reviews and so many games ship with major bugs and glitches, but I figured I'd be safe this time with Naughty Dog.

Guess I was wrong. Very disappointing.

RobAlmighty4347d ago

You should just throw it in the trash with that attitude.

It is already fixed.

Philoctetes4347d ago

@RobAlmighty -- Yes, I know. I posted before it was fixed.

And no, I won't be throwing it in the trash. :)

ExitToExisT4347d ago

THE GLITCH IS CAUSED BY THE 1.01 patch

I deleted the patch and started playing and the autosave works right now.

Also i just run and i can progress the game without any combat. It is really interesting. (Doing this to go back to the lost save as fast as possible)

JaredH4347d ago

Naughty Dog just fixed it according to their twitter.

Eyeco4347d ago

I wouldn't know anyway THE GAME HAS SOLD OUT EVERYWHERE, damn i should have pre-ordered

Bobby Kotex4347d ago (Edited 4347d ago )

On my lunch break I went to gamestop and they had about 100 in a drawer.

Eyeco4347d ago

I live in London, and I've just managed to snag the last copy at some independent game store , when I went to buy Uncharted 2 day 1 there was an abundance of copies everywhere, it was completely pointless for me to have pre-ordered the game, I thought the same with TLOU and it's proven me wrong.

trenso14347d ago

happened to me luckly i noticed before i did at alot of progress

asmith23064347d ago

I lost around three hours due to this. It's definitely in there, the day one patch didn't fix it.

MizTv4347d ago

I lost almost 5 hours of play time
It keep saying autosaving
Had to start over again

Crazyglues4347d ago (Edited 4347d ago )

FoxHound_4347d ago

From what I've been reading on TLoU forums it's been happening to people who:
A) Are from Europe.
B) Have subtitles activated.

I'm picking up the game in an hour so I can't comment yet but these two things may be a contributor.

stage884347d ago

I'm from the UK, have no subtitles and still got screwed.

Jdoki4347d ago

Same here. Bug hit me after about an hour of game time, and I lost about an hour.

FoxHound_4347d ago

Forget my comment because it happened to me as well. Live Ontario Canada didn't have subtitles on either.

Prophet1124347d ago

Has this bug happened to anybody that wasn't signed into PSN?

From UK.

Autosaving, Please wait...

That's all I see in the menu, No way to manually save whatsoever... Sadly the game is unplayable till this silly glitch is fixed.

funny though, Autosave must have caught the virus XD

Hadoukameha4347d ago

This is why I like optional manual saves. Want something done right, gotta do it yourself.

TheEvilWithin4347d ago

I missed that with Bioshock infinite. I wonder why they took that out??? I'm just going to back up my save just to make sure.

GentlemenRUs4347d ago

But this bug hits me as soon as I get into the game :(

Also, There is no way to turn off the Autosave.

Kiddcarter4347d ago (Edited 4347d ago )

The game has a manual save option

edit: I take that back, the manual save is actually just the autosave

iistuii4347d ago

Yeah mine did that just as I met Henry. Also I've not go any trophies yet, dunno if I've earned an yet, but I've been playing for over 6 hours without any.

icewater854347d ago

On Podcast Beyond they said you wouldn't get that many trophies on the first play through.

Kiddcarter4347d ago

Trophy are hard to come by in this game, for instance there aren't trophies for just progressing thru the story, as icewater said podcast beyond and other web sites have said you wont collect many trophies on your first play through

omi25p4347d ago

Just do what i did, Finish the game in one sitting. Never had to save.

Gazondaily4347d ago

Wait what? You can't manually save?? That friggin sucks! Has this been happening to you from the start of the game or did it just start happening?

GentlemenRUs4347d ago

Good news!

ND are aware and they are currently trying to get this fixed ASAP!

monkey6024347d ago

Thanks for the heads up...I'm based in the UK, and my copy arrived this morning 8.30am.

Unfortunately, I am at work as I type this (looks left & right for the boss lol), so will have to wait 'til I am free from my pay masters.

But, I'm gonna be turning off my cell phone and home no. for some completely uninterrupted Last of Us as soon as I get home.

Yikes!!

EDIT

There is a temp fix, just hit the start button every 15-25 mins or so, and it will autosave at menu. Sucks, but until there's a patch, it's the best option.

As expected. Unless it's going to Xbox or Switch 2, we can stop hearing about these older games now? We can move on to just news about new games?

darthv7229d ago

....until the PS6 remake followed by the PS7 reboot

Christopher29d ago

Man, first year of PS6 is going to be 90% remasters. I'm going to hate it and likely hold off until new games actually get released that I can't play on my PS5.

Cacabunga29d ago

Yes I’m waiting for complete remaster…. On ps5

Notellin28d ago

I'm already dreading all the cross generation games and remasters we'll see with the next round of consoles.

LonDonE28d ago

lmao this is getting ridiculous but thing is if people keep buying them.. then why would they stop making them?
Peeps STOP BUYING this game.. that actually hurts me to say this as the last of us is high up on my greatest games of all times.. its one of the few games i played through start to finish 3/4 times back to back as i loved it so much. But sony need to stop, give us a Resistance 3 remaster, i would love and buy that.. such an underated series as was killzone.
Or give us infamous.. so many great series and titles i would gladly buy but they just want to keep giving us last of us.

I am done buying that game.. i would only buy part 2 remaster if they remade it and kept joel alive, or i am not interested. Hate last of us 2s story killing off joel.. the actual game is stunning and incredible, they improved so much in the gameplay department but i hate the story with a passion.

Inverno29d ago

And HBO just announced season 3 even tho LoU2 couldn't possibly be so long that it wouldn't be able to fit in 1 season. They're just milking it at this point.

darthv7229d ago

speaking of the HBO series... I felt they should have made part 1 across two seasons, then address part 2 in seasons 3 and 4. so now i have a feeling they rushed through part 1 in season 1 to make season 2 a cliff hanger with Joel's impending demise being the starting point to Season 3.

-Foxtrot29d ago

I love how they decided to rush, chop and change things for Season 1 to get through the game yet for TLOU Part II it’s like “we’re going to do multiple seasons and take our time”

Inverno29d ago

Okay after seeing that there's only 7 episodes I take it back. Though I think it's incredibly stupid not to have just made the season longer. Another season just to finish what could've just been a 13 episode season seems counterintuitive but aiight. I put that on HBO tho.

Neonridr29d ago

This will be the 4th time Sony sells us The Last of Us Part 1.. And the 2nd time on the PS5.

They don't want Metroid Prime holding that record,

At this point we are at Skyrim in terms of frequency. Skyrim was one per generation. If you exclude VR Skyrim we've now exceeded it

Tlou 1 PS3, 1 PS4 2 ps5

Not quite. Skyrim had:

PS3/360/PC

Skyrim Special Edition PC/PS4/X1
Skyrim Special Edition PS5/XSX

Also add skyrim bundles like the one below and all the humble bundles since that's what everyone is doing here

darthv7229d ago

@Chris, LoU is getting just as bad by milking the same user base. At least Skyrim was able to sell to a wider audience via different platforms.

Christopher29d ago

@darthv72: I don't know why you're telling me that. I only corrected on number of Skyrim re-releases/ports/etc. I didn't say anything else.

Profchaos29d ago

@christopher guess I forgot just how much was out I think the special editions are technically one release despite being cross platform though would the Alexa version count

Christopher29d ago

@Profchaos: I guess, but I'd consider it a separate release since it rolled them into one at a later date but definitely there is a PS5/XSX version with PS5/XSX supported updates specific to them.

Chevalier28d ago

"LoU is getting just as bad by milking the same user base"

Weird. Like 35% of PS5 owners are NEW to Playstation. Plus this is really for new fans from the TV series for season 2 of TLOU.

I recall the same idiotic comments when the 1st one was remade just before TLOU TV Series came out and it went on the be one of the best selling games that year.

So maybe get your FACTS straight. Unlike Skyrim getting literally releases in 3 generations and 10 releases.

CrimsonWing6927d ago (Edited 27d ago )

@FPS_D3TH

It blows my mind how people do some mental gymnastics to try to cope with a game they like doing the same thing (technically more) they’re complaining about for another game.

RE4 - PS2, GC
RE4 w Motion Controls - Wii
Literally RE4 HD Remaster - Xbox 360, PS3
I’m assuming a port of RE HD - PS4, Xbox One
RE4 Remake - PS5, Xsex

1 Remake and the bunch are Remasters… how, I mean how—Y’know what, it doesn’t matter anymore…

P_Bomb29d ago

Store says I already own it. I guess it’s just a straight twin-pack. Looks like they added 4 maps to ‘No Return’.

VersusDMC29d ago

You don't need to buy this to get the maps, marlene and bill. It all got patched in to the game on the 3rd.

P_Bomb29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

Every Mario and Zelda is different. This is just the exact same game over and over

anast38d ago

Skyrim, yes. Mario and Zelda since the 80's

Loktai38d ago

@darthv72 Uh yes. Yes it has. They milked BOTW across Wii U and switch and they STILL want 40+ for it new and never discounted it. They made "remasters" of older zelda games as well on switch and in the past onto the other gameboy platforms from the older platforms. They have done the same with Mario. They port the paper mario games and mario RPG to switch. And now I PROMISE you they are going to show "enhancements" for those same games on Switch 2. I PROMISE you thats going to get mentioned, maybe even tomorrow. Last of us Part 1 has been across techncially 3 generations, but 2 has been 2- and JUST BARELY 2 because it released just a few months before the PS5 did - and so if that counts as milking it, what do you call breath of the wild on Wii U then going to switch or Twilight Princess coming uot on gamecube and Wii - OR ZELDA WIND WAKER HD coming out?

It's been released on 3 generations - PS3, PS4, PS5, PSVR, PC, PC VR, Switch, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S. That's 10 releases across 3 generations! So Seriously get your DAMN facts straight.

Chevalier38d ago

Clearly a guy with business acumen! Why would Sony want to rebundle games and release them in time for the 2nd season of TLOU to release? I mean the last time a bunch of idiots laughed at Sony then guess what? TLOU part 1 for PS5 only hit top 5 sales and kept popping onto charts throughout the year?! Lol

38d ago
Chevalier38d ago

"Skyrim sure, but the other two... not so much"

Multiple Mario and Zelda games have made 2 generations. Maybe you guys forget that over a 3rd of the gamers on Playstation have NEVER owned a Playstation system before and some are coming into it as a result of the TV show.

People said the EXACT same crap when the 1st game got released on PS5, but, it ended up being one of the best selling games the year it came out.

Also for all the idiots complaining. Playstation at least offer $10 upgrades for some of these games. Have you EVER seen a re-release by Nintendo, Xbox, Bethesda offer that?! No I didn't think so.

darthv7238d ago

releasing a newer version because the previous version is not physically compatible is not quite the same as taking a perfectly good existing game that already works on the newer platform and repackaging it under a remaster brand for that newer platform and then repackaging it AGAIN for the same platform.

And that whole line of *insert people here may not have had a PS before* is a line of BS. PS2 is the most selling platform in history... chances are very good a high percentage upgrade to the PS3 and then upgraded to the PS4 and are upgrading again for the PS5. So dont give me that line of bologna. you'd rather swallow every bit of Sony propaganda instead of call them out for milking (and yes this is milking) this game. You know there will be a PS6 version and likely a PS7 remaster.

Of course i am purely speculating on the 6 & 7 but there is a high degree of probability because of what they did already between 3, 4 & 5. And you defending even the $10 upgrade when most of the XB games get free upgrades is just another sign of your blind loyalty. I didnt think it possible and gave you benefit of the doubt but now I can see i was totally wrong.

Chevalier37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

@Darth

Again your examples are absolutely terrible. Repackaged games for new audiences isn't new with the high cost of development. This release is timed for people that are new to Playstation coming from watching season 2 of the TV show. If you're surprised and annoyed by this then stop gaming then. It will happen if there's some new Skyrim, Fallout, Doom or whatever TV show comes out too.

Also you're the guy who defends Xbox for this crap too. Skyrim releases were done while owned by Xbox.

Also you mentioned the PS2, repackaged games happened all the time then too. If you think that repackaged games is going to go away with the skyrocketing cost of development is going away then sorry cover your eyes and plug your ears and pretend like an idiot then. You will be complaining daily soon.
