This is not what I expected when I bought the PREMIUM edition of the game.

And please don't tell me to try loading the game from another game. I did that already like the other reports and IT DOESN'T WORK!

Thank you for reporting this. If you could include your logs, it would help a lot!

In early discussions, many wrote about this error and attached their own saves. But there was no help to solve this problem. I also encountered this bug and would like to hear a solution to this problem.

@Sound Of Trance I've added it to the main post

@Sound Of Trance FWIW, I had the loading error on my first save, so I created a second save. My second save has been working fine until I deleted my first save. After deleting my first save, my second save started to get the loading error as well.

I created a new save, but I'm afraid that I'd have the same problem again. Hopefully this gets fixed soon.

The latest patch fixed this bug. Hopefully for good. Thanks!

This error is on Switch too, not sure what to do as I am unable to load my auto save or manual save game. Put in too much time to start all over. Occurred 11/14 around 11pm.

We've had quite a few reports of this on console versions, and are actively working on getting a fix out there for this. In the meantime, thank you for your patience and for letting us know!

Does this mean I have two corrupt files and won’t be able to restore my progress?
If so, I won’t be playing this game again as I am not going to take a chance with days of game play to lose everything again and have to start over. I hope the team can fix it as I invested $70 for a game that is unreliable.

On average the game freezes about once a day when playing:
- At times the animations don’t work when you select to move spaces during a battle and it looks as if the character is sliding into position vs running (legs don’t move)
- I have a mission where I am suppose to poison another gangsters brewery, but the gangster identified has no rackets... unable to progress in the game.
- Sometimes during executions in battle, the camera angle is behind objects so the scene is obstructed.
- Are their suppose to be police raids? Suspicion gets to 100%, but nothing happens. I don’t understand the point.

Suggestion:
For the map view. Instead of going to a menu screen to then select a different view, make a shortcut action... maybe the minus sign on the controller
