Castlevania: Lords of Shadow PS3 patch to fix save-deleting bug
Because it's bšŗetter to play a game when it doesn't randomly erase yš¦our save file
Owners of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow for the PS3 will soon be able to play their game with peace of mind. Publisher Konami has accepted fault for a bug that causeā d some users to find their entire save file deleted, and a patch to fix the error is "incomišŗng."
To put it mildly, gamers affected by the bug were not happy when they booted up Castlevania and were greeted with the message "save file corrupt, will now overwritš e, press X to continue." Pressing the X button murdered the game's save file on the PS3 hard drive.
We even saw one user who澳擲幸čæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„询:reached the final bossonly to have his save deleted before he could finish the game. "I just lost almošÆst 20 hours of play on Knight difficulty with almost all the power-ups. I thišønk I'll go cry in the corner now," said the user in a post on GameSpot's message boards.
"Fear not, Vampire Killers. A patch for the PS3 save issue aāffecting Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is incoming. Weāll update on availability."
It's not much of an apology, but at leasļ·ŗt it addresses the issue.
Some Xbox 360 users also reported seeing the same "save file corrupt" error message on their game, but it didn't seem to actually afą“fect their save files. Konami's message only mentions fixing the error on PS3.
