To say that Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain has endured rocky pre-release and post-release periods is an understatement. Whether it's been headlines regarding Konami's questionable internal management and the firing of series creator Hideo Kojima, or the previous save corruption bug, Big Boss' finale has been overshadowed time and time again, despite the fact that it's one heck of a good game.
And here we are yet again, this time with Konami spreading word that there's an all new save corruption bug that's specific to the PlayStation 4 version of the release. Basically, if you're playing Metal Gear Solid V while signed in with multiple PlayStation Network accounts on a single console, then there's a chance that you'll get the following message when trying to load up your game: "This saved data cannot be used, as the relevant downloadable content cannot be found."
If you're unfortunate to come across that message, we're sad to say that your data's apparently done for, and there's no way to continue your adventure. Brilliant, eh?

That would be terrible if you were 20plus hours into the game.....
Eek that's me. Great game though, just unlocked Africa.
Konami is a f'ing joke. Sell the IPs to a company worth a damn, please.
Glad we've got no other accounts on the PS4! I had been thinking of setting up an account for my girlfriend so she can play stuff on her own saves - no chance now until this bug is squashed!
glad i never had this happen to me, gutted would of been a massive understatement.
I'm about 60 hours in, so if I lose my data, then I'll have my own taste of vengeance, on Konami.
@SteveButler2210 From what I understand, this bug comes from being signed in at the same time with more than one account. Having multiple accounts on your PS4 should be fine otherwise.
At this point I'm happy I'm playing Phantom Pain on PS3. Because of the Quiet bug and now this one. I'm not a graphics/texture whore so I'm having fun. Great entry into an amazing franchise. I'm 65% in
Hah nice try kojima but I finished the game.
Thank goodness I wait for price drops and never pay the initial release $60 for a game, it gives time for horrible bugs like this to be fixed.
