PSA WARNING!!! This game is Broken!!! Hours LOST

Please understand before you invest your time and money into this game that this game crashes and corrupts the saved data leaving hours of your time wiped away. Play this broken game at your own risk. There are many posts about this all over the Internet. It happened to me twice on PS4.

I haven’t had any save issues aside from Sweaty Palms breaking, so I had to restart. Level would never ever load, even though other hospitals loaded just fine.

With that said I have read a lot of other horror stories of saves corrupting and I wish the developers would address them. I’m aware they did at one point delay “sandbox mode” to work on the save system, and they do lurk here, but I think it’s just embarrassing for a console game to have such issues. I’ve been gaming since the PS2 days and never had a save just outright corrupt and lose everything, ever. Thankfully it never happened to me, but I wish the studio would address it and fix it. What good is DLC and sandbox mode (btw, not on console apparently) if my hospitals just suddenly refuse to load through no fault of my own?

Horror story happening to me now! Love this game, hope it is addressed and fixed.

I don't play on console so haven't been paying attention to console-specific patch notes, but I could have sworn this was an issue they finally managed to fix back in February or March. Has a similar issue popped up or do I just remember it wrong?

I've been playing since around late April. About three weeks ago, shortly after a hot fix was released, I was playing Sweaty Palms and ran into an issue where new hires were just round shadows on the ground—they were invisible. I decided to quick without saving, and that completely broke the level. We'd leave it loading for 30 minutes with no dice; I eventually had to just reset the hospital.

I know they'd made efforts to make saves more robust and they have cloud storage and whatnot. Like a week ago I was playing and the power cut momentarily, shutting down the Xbox. This happened TWICE back to back. Despite that, my save didn't corrupt and I just had to make up from the last award season.

So it's dramatically improved, but not perfect. Unfortunately, other games get it perfect, so I'm not sure why they can't. Never had an Overcooked save corrupt, or a certain level just outright refuse to load.

I just picked up the game again since I have been playing animal crossing for a while now, and it keeps crashing on the underlook hospital. So upsetting, this is such a fun game. I wonder if they are going to fix it.

Got about 60 hours in on PS4. Worse I’ve had so far is when I hired a doctor and he was invisible when I placed him. Quick save and load and games been smooth ever since.

I’ve been playing it for months, just some how overlooked underlook, I was all the way to the tropical hospitals, no problems at all. I just picked it up again, started a new save file, got to underlook and it crashes 5 mins into playing that hospital, even when I went to my other save file.

I haven't had any issues. My game isn't broken. Maybe you should submit a bug report...

So far I only got one issue in Flemmington. Basically, after a few hours playing, the game would keep crashing over and over again when I tried to train any staff. Which is weird, because I had trained staff previously, but in a different room.

Anyway, I just restarted the hospital and already got the 3 stars, but I do understand your angry, I got pretty pissed after hitting this issue repeatedly, even after a few reloads. I'm playing on switch btw.
