Surviving Mars - Game started stuck on saving PS4/5

[robsthebob]

Description
Game started to freeze on saving


Windows


Steam

What is your game version?
244677
Do you have Space Race installed?
No

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
At around sol 160 the game started to get stuck on every autosave. The savegame-file is created successfully and after force quitting the game and restarting the game loads up fine but gets stuck again on the next autosave. Saving manually has the same result.

Can you replicate the issue?
Just load the savegame file and wait for autosave or try to save manually.

New update: I created a new game and I get the same stuck on autosave in that game so it's not necessarily the save game but my version of the game.

Restarting the computer seems to have fixed it.

I posted this over on the Steam forums but maybe it will help you as well:

"For those getting crashes when you start or save a game I was able to fix this by (in Windows) exiting the game, going to %appdata% (in Windows Explorer just put that in the directory window at the top) scroll down to Surviving Mars and delete or rename the directory "PopsMods" Steam will download your mods again when you restart the game.

If I disable all mods (the horror!) I don't get these crashes so the game must be running out of a resource when it's doing housekeeping."

Possibly, you'd need to ask the place you bought it from about their refund policies.

There is, PlayStation allows you to export saved games to USB storage devices.

I am still having the same problem and nothing I have done has worked, I tried resetting the ps5, Then a restoration of the licences , then a rebuilding of the database and even a factory reset to no avail.

It's like my ps5 doesn't like me if this is your game messing up please fix it.

However if the issue is with playstation please let them know so someone can fix this issue as it's driving me crazy and not in a good wayas I've lost litrally two years of saved data.

Every time I try to save this happens or this after just a few minutes into the game if I try just to play & not save.
