* Update: We have found several fixes and workarounds to try over at this location*įor now, simply do not click the option to start a new game or create an Iceborne compatible save file - or you will lose everything! Eesh. We're currently working on finding a workaround to keep your save data backed up and available after the problem is fixed. Even when a patch does arrive, it seems unlikely the resolution will involve anyone getting their original data back.
Since the new file replaces your previous save game with the new data, that means all player data is permanently lost with no apparent way to get it back.Īccording to a report from Polygon, the developers at Capcom are aware of the issue. It then overwrites your existing save file with the new one. Unfortunately, choosing that option - which is mandatory - creates a new save back at the very beginning of the game. When in the main menu with the DLC installed, many players receive a message stating an Iceborne compatible save isn't detected so one should be created.
