Hideo Kojima’s beloved game, Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, has come out and conquered both old series fans as the ones. Although the game has been receiving great reviews all over the internet, it has been confirmed by Konami that the games comes with a bug that corrupts the user save files making the game progress comes to a halt.
This bug only affects 2 of the 50 main missions of the game, missions 29 and 42. The problem is related to the female character of the game called Quiet, and if you use her as a buddy in either of those missions you may find yourself with a corrupt save file. You lose all progress!
So far the only solution to the problem, given by Konami, is by not using Quiet as a buddy on those specific missions, and they have already informed us that they are on top of the issue and trying to fix it.
