A handful of gamers have had their information disappear

You may need to be cautious taking part in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet in the intervening time. A number of gamers have reported that their Pokemon Scarlet / Violet save information had been wiped following the newest recreation replace, and there isn’t a transparent trigger simply but.

Over on the sport’s subreddit, as reported by Kotaku, gamers have been discussing the problem. Reviews of the problem are popping up in a thread right here, beginning with “a minimum of 5” and climbing from there.

“Clearly it is a small variety of gamers total, however folks must be conscious there’s some stage of danger,” wrote the unique poster. “I misplaced a 595 hour save file due to this, and up to now nothing may be completed to get well my save.”

Proper now, the silver lining is that this subject appears to be affecting a comparatively small pocket of the general Scarlet and Violet participant base. The dangerous information is that no overt trigger has been discovered by these affected but.

Some report it taking place round among the postcard and Pokemon Go integration, whereas one other person says it occurred “proper after” buying the DLC. Whereas the Go integration is a recurring theme, the outright trigger appears unclear, and should not even contain it, as some have reported the problem with out connecting to Go or shopping for the upcoming DLC. Customers are at present investigating what the trigger is, and attempting to reverse-engineer what occurred.

We’ve reached out to Nintendo for remark and additional data.

Cloud cowl

Importantly, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet don’t have cloud backup choices by way of Nintendo Change On-line. There’s a separate back-up possibility, which may be accessed utilizing the button mixture X-B-Up. However, because the thread’s authentic poster states, some customers are unable to even entry the display the place they might do this.

Couple that with Pokemon Dwelling not being energetic but for Scarlet and Violet, and it places these affected by this specific bug in a bind. Even when it’s solely affecting a number of folks, I can’t think about how I’d take it if my stunning Annihilape disappeared into the ether. Hopefully there’s a repair on the best way for these affected.
