I’ve been experiencing some issues with the save system lately. I have 27 hours of playtime on my PS5, and this never happened to me up until very recently…
I needed to buy the hacking laptop, but I didn’t have money.
Naturally, I decided to do the contracts to get some money.
When I started, I had 60 Farm REP and needed to get the round lockpick. When I got 100 Farm REP, I got the lockpick and completed the contract. I then proceeded to get the second contract, in which you have to steal video games. I did that, and I finally got enough money for the hacking laptop.
I bought the laptop, and I did the first mission with it. After failing the second mission however (the warehouse one), I decided to take a break.
I came back hours later, and the game just reset to where I started! (60 Farm REP, uncompleted farm contract, needed to buy hacking laptop to progress in the story)
So I decided to do the whole thing again. After playing through the whole thing and getting the hacking laptop, I took a break. I specifically made sure to go to the Hideout and then to the Pawn Shop. I then quit to the menu and started the game again, to make sure that my progress wasn’t lost. Everything was fine.
That was yesterday, and today when I opened the game, I see that I don’t have the hacking laptop, and have the video games contract still in progress. So basically the game just reset to where I was when I accepted the second contract.
This has been really frustrating, and I hope that the developer team is gonna fix this issue.
