I would be interested to know if anyone else is seeing issue with save corruption.
yea me and 5 other guys had like 100 hours invested in a world, it got unbearably laggy, the host reloaded and got the corrupt save message. needless to say we all raged quit and went back to playing GTAO and BF4 for the night but both those games are just as buggy.
it happened after the host was playing on split screen if that means anything
for anyone that cares to read; it looks to me like saving in split screen might be the cause of save corruption, maybe have the second person get out of the split screen before saving? and make sure to manually save before exiting the game, and make sure to exit the game through the start menu, not by just shutting your console off or whatever
Oh corrupted saves you slay me! Game is awesome but having lost more than half of my saves to corruption, I'm weary. I can't say with certainty that I've not played them all split screen. I'd love to upload any of the saves I didn't delete but am unsure how to. Would this entail a thumb drive to move the data to a comp then upload?
Note to sad players with hours invested: There are millions of worlds to explore. Don't be discouraged. Take the opportunity to brave new worlds and find yourself much better than your first Minecraft dusk We're all hoping for a cure.
As per my post http://www.minecraft...st__p__27444004 single player saves can be corrupted, although you can still get into the world - but your inventory, location and levels will be screwed up. Oh, and dogs get stuck sitting and can't be told to follow.
Note: backing up a previous save sounds like a good idea, but you need to keep both the last save and the previous one as you won't know if the last save has been corrupted.
I also doubt that save then exit (exit without saving) versus exit (exit after saving) makes any difference as the same save code should be invoked in both cases. I suspect autosave will also use the same code.
And folks, if you're going to report a problem you need to provide as much info as possible.
version, difficulty & mode
single player or multiplayer (split screen, network or both), offline or online
how was the game saved & when (particularly for multiplayer - did everyone exit before the host saved & exit)
corrupted symptoms: i.e. won't load, bluescreen, inventory changes, etc
It appears 4J is looking into this and wants people to provide savegames (they suggest Mediafire.com).
So between me and a friend we have about 150 hours put into a world. Just starting to get things organized to where we can become inventive we have our homes built and everything is looking great. And We both are stockpiling resources. And creating farms for rare resources for sticky pistons and other things.
go to get on and my data is corrupt. This is kind of . This really has put a sour taste in my mouth. And i have a feeling this has lost many players. I will never put a dime into extras on this game now.
Just that a game should have this issue. I would rather deal with many other problems but losing save data means losing all my invested time.
I bought Minecraft for my 8 year old daughter. After playing for a few days, we lost all our work due to that 'saved data is corrupt' bug.
We played for another week, same thing happened. After another few days, it happened again.
This is unacceptable. We paid money for this software, and this is makes the experience worthless. I'm a software developer myself, and I know that there can be some minor, acceptable bugs, but there are some that are total show-stoppers, and this is one of them.
Guys, you need to fix this soon, and to communicate to the Mindcraft and the PS3 community NOW that you have made it a priority.
I have the same problem. I bought PS3 Mindcraft for my daughter just before Chirstmas 2013. Since then we've lost 4 worlds we created, one which took two weeks to build.
Because we paid money for this, this bug is unacceptable. We need to hear from the company that they are actively looking into this problem. Mindcraft is by nature a game that requires several sessions to complete, and if it corrupts data half way through the game play, then the goal that we paid for, as gamers, is unachievable. This invites the argument that the company has failed to fulfill its end of the contract, and will open the gates to legal liability.
I am willing to pursue this as far as it can go. If you like, contact me:

i'd like to point out that even IF you were to bring legal action, it'd be dismissed as frivolous and legal action might be brought against you, there is no merit to anything you could charge against this company,
#1 the game is a sandbox game, there is no set end to it, only when you are done, then are you done,
#2, minecraft, not mindcraft, is currently being looked through and they are working on fixing issues, if you're so impatient that you simply cannot allow time for them to identify and address the issue, then that is YOUR problem, not theirs,
#3, your attitude on this matter is totally and wholly unacceptable, you should be helping to get this problem fixed, rather than demanding action and threatening legalities against a game company to fix a game while they are working on it,
#4, you paid approximately 20$ US for this game, if you hate it so much, get a refund, if you don't, then quit whining, threatening, and start helping out, list what problems you're having, when they happened, and anything else that the company may ask about your gameplay so that they will be better able to look into the issue and correct it
tl;dr version- quit complaining, help out and use your brain.
if i dont get my save back i want my money back(never will happen), or i will never BUY another of your products ever again. 200+ hrs along with 3 other peoples time.gone. is a game saving properly too much to ask. ud think after months of delays releasing this game u would at least get it to save right. this type of game cant have a saving problem its inexcusable J_L_K_64 above should not be making excuses for there failure to release a working product. its not an issue its a broken product i might as well go buy some snake oil
Has anyone else had a problem with saves corrupting? I've lost 3 so far. It seems random. One was a save I had just finished playing with a friend(split screen). So, I tried to load a different split screen save, and it was aslo corrupt. Then, I loaded a save where I hadn't even taken a step, and it was fine. Quit the game, tried to load it again, and it was corrupt.
The game wasn't saving when I quit any of them. The corruption seems rather random.
-------UPDATE--------
12/22/13
Haven't had this problem again since my initial testing. I think the trick is to hit "Exit Game", and "Exit and Save", as opposed to saving, then just quitting. Using that method, we've had no problems.
The same is happening to me, my girlfriend and i played in split screen and it happened last night after i manually saved followed by 'save and exit'. Also i have lost 3 solo worlds within a weeks time. I cannot recall if they were manually saved followed by the save and exit or if i just exited and saved. This is extremely frustrating seeming how i spent hours on our worlds. I'd even go as far as weeks. I'm going to experiment with it myself.
Yay! endless hours on a save to get corrupted. Split Screen, saved before i logged out. Do they offer digital refunds on broken games? and yea some kind of warning would have been nice i'd have waited to purchase it if, i'd known it was bugged all to hell. guess i'll call Sony and see if i can get a refund on it.
TL:DR but has anyone else noticed that this isn't the first game that 4j studios has been involved with that has save corruption and random freezing issues. Google ps3 Oblivion save corruption or freeze. And I believe the issue with oblivion had to due with saves being overwritten over the same save file enough times that the file would become corrupt and unplayable as well. Although I hear Bethesda games is a lot like EA, customer service wise anyway. 4J is currently working on it as you can see here on the 9th of January the conversation with Bloodnic3 : https://twitter.com/4JStudios
this bug has caused me to suggest to many of my internet friends to not purchase the game until 4j has time to work out this game breaker. i go so far as to suggest waiting a month or two. there is no assurity that the next patch will fix the save corruption issue.
if i had to deal with this when i first started playing minecraft, i might have been discouraged to the point of not playing. i'd rather have my friends playing a product 'worthy of release' than getting tricked into being a beta tester. i can stomach beta testing as i adore the game. average noobs, it's a crapshoot.

4J studios has started to work on the patch since after the holidays. https://twitter.com/4JStudioso (look at the Jan. 9 post) However I'm unsure of how long it will take them to release the update. A temporary fix was stated in this topic about manual saving. Just skip the manual save and go to exit. Then click exit and save. I haven't had any save issues since i started doing that. I'm still testing it and waiting for failure but thus far it has worked.
I also had the same problem with corrupted saves, but I found out that you have to wait until the box at the corner clears up before you exit the game. I played a save game. And the exit and save. And then You have to WAIT until the chest with the arrow goes off the screen indicating the save was a success. Also I back up my world's to portable storage every now and then . Just in case

dont trust it. That is what i originally thought and it still corrupted :/ The bug happens when you double save manually followed up with exit and save. I just use exit and save now and I'm problem free so far. Hope it continues b/c I'm getting to the point of no return haha
i exited the game without saving after the auto save and the file went bad. this is not cool. i will never again give this company money. i was so exited for this game and i ended up buying nothing but a big pile of disappointment. nice job rushing your product out the door just in time for x-mass.

I have an offline single player survival blue screen of death save.
Where or how does 4j want us to give them the links to the corrupted save files?
