Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is easily one of the most popular games this year. Even some of the best games can experience bugs, much like the one in MGSV.

Under specific circumstances, the save file of your game can halt and or get corrupted. Konami dishes on their blog today with what is the cause, and how to avoid losing your precious progress.

In “METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN” which was released on September 1st, 2015 there is a possibility that the game stops progress if having Quiet as a buddy while playing “Mission 29” or “Mission 42”. This situation can be avoided by not using Quiet as a buddy while playing either “Mission 29” or “Mission 42”.

 

We deeply apologize, and appreciate your patience for further announcements regarding this issue.

 

This issue is known to be present for Xbox360, XboxOne, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and Steam.

Seems like an easy thing to avoid, no word on a patch or a hotfix from Konami.

Amazing news, and also a disappointing realization.

John Dies At The End looks freaking wonderful, and it’s available TODAY on iTunes and VOD. I’ve heard nothing but praise for the film from the big man on Geekscape’s campus (Jonathan, duh), and countless others that had the pleasure of seeing it early. I can’t wait until my shift ends tonight so I can go home and PAY to see it!

John Dies At The End is an independent film. They need your dough to make more independent films happen. If everyone pirated everything (which unfortunately seems to be the way the world is going), independent films will cease to exist, and the world will have less chance of seeing another masterpiece like John Dies At The End (among many, many others).

We know you would never do it, but just in case, here’s a warning:

“Before pirating JOHN DIES AT THE END be sure to watch the video below as stealing the film could result in severe health issues. Those with an erection lasting over 4 hours after viewing JOHN DIES AT THE END please consult a physician. Support independent films. Support something different…all without leaving your home, heck your bed. It’s so simple even a meat monster could do it.”

So it’s REALLY important you don’t pirate this one. When you inevitably do watch it however, make sure to let us know what you thought!
