Hello apologies if this topic is already posted but could not find it when searching. Possible light spoilers if you have not played Phantom Liberty yet so just a heads up.
I am playing Cyberpunk on a PS5, no major issues until this popped up yesterday while playing Phantom Liberty.
The major issue is that this issue is causing save files to become damaged and not able to load once I enter Dogtown.
During the Dog Eat Dog mission, there is a part when Songbird directs V to board an elevator (she says something to the affect of "Just hop on the elevator and I'll handle the rest").
I have checked an auto save file just before the elevator and it loads fine. However any save (manual or auto) after you get to the Dogtown area becomes damaged and cannot load. A tell tale sign is that once you try and load the game, there is no loading screen, just black and the loading bar loads almost instantly and stays at a black screen.
I am not if activating any mission after Dog Eat Dog is fine, however I do not want to risk anything so I am not progressing until this is fixed as I don't want to lose my progress. I am trying to take my time and move a bit slower, so I'd rather not rush through things.
Anyway just wanted to give a heads up and possible warning to others on PS5 who may encounter this. Be careful with the saves.
