Problems with my Need For Speed Payback.

This past weekend, I went into a ranked speedlist on Payback, and shortly after I loaded in, I got a message saying “The save file has gone corrupt and could not be reached. Continuing will overwrite the save file.”, and I was given the option to X: Restart or O: Overwrite (X and Circle button on The PS4 controller, they’d be A and B on an Xbox One). Obviously I freaked out, as I had been playing the game since launch, and who else wants to lose a couple months worth of work? I didn’t touch anything, closed the application, and removed the disc. After waiting a minute or two, I put it back in, and it loaded up without any problems. Oh well…

Just last night though, it gave me the same message. I did what I did before, but it didn’t work. I tried at least 5 more times, then it got stuck on the “Loading Save Game” screen. All I did was sit there, dumbfounded. I needed some time to think, so I turned off my PlayStation (I usually put it in rest mode) and went upstairs for a bit, trying to look for something to fix it. All I found were some YouTube videos in complete Spanish with no English subtitles. I gave up and rested my mind for an hour, then went back downstairs and booted the game up. It at least loaded up, and gave me the option to reset or overwrite, and then I just pressed overwrite. Surprisingly, it loaded everything I had, and even after turning off my PlayStation again, and coming back to it this morning, it worked with no error message. I attempted to do some more research on the topic, but there was virtually nothing.

I’m asking you guys as a COMMUNITY to please leave your thoughts and suggestions on this in the comments, and to spread the word about it. I feel there may be someone out there with the same problem, and I want to work together with people like you to try and solve it.

Thank you.
