Has anyone else had a problem with saves corrupting? I've lost 3 so far. It seems random. One was a save I had just finished playing with a friend(split screen). So, I tried to load a different split screen save, and it was aslo corrupt. Then, I loaded a save where I hadn't even taken a step, and it was fine. Quit the game, tried to load it again, and it was corrupt.
The game wasn't saving when I quit any of them. The corruption seems rather random.
-------UPDATE--------

Haven't had this problem again since my initial testing. I think the trick is to hit "Exit Game", and "Exit and Save", as opposed to saving, then just quitting. Using that method, we've had no problems.
I would be interested to know if anyone else is seeing issue with save corruption.

I am having the same Issue, We played in split screen and when it's saved and reloaded, 8 times out of ten it Corrupts the save, making it nearly impossible to play Split screen.
We played with the second controller as a guest not as a seperate account so we can get the trphies still.
Anyways hope for a fix cause this is making it unplayable for us we don't want to play online or solo. Thx.
I just had the same thing happen to me. Started up a split screen game from scratch using a guest account. Played for about 3 hours and manually saved at the end.
I went to test to see if guest accounts had their inventories saved after quitting, and I was told my file had been damaged or corrupted when I tried to load the file again.
Pretty crappy first experience. RIP, my 7 diamond. We hardly knew ye.
EVERYTHING ON MY GAME IS GONE EVERYTHING IS DELETED I HAVE SPENT OVER TEN HOURS ON ONE OF THE WORLDS WITH BOTH OF MY BROTHERS AFTER SAVING AND LEAVING AND JOINING ANOTHER MATCH EVERYTHING GOT CORRUPTED WTF??....also side note.....Wtf no voice chat?
I don't even know if I want to return now after spending so much time on one world....
Me and my friends have been playing on a server for a couple of days now. We have played splitscreen, on my ps3 and theirs. We have reloaded it multiple times. Then just randomly it decides to corrupt the save today.
And I'm almost positive the game save is not actually corrupt, because normally when you go and look at the save in your save data utility it will say it is corrupted data (which is doesn't say at all, the save looks perfectly fine, it is actually the same as my other saves that are not corrupt at all). My guess is that the save reader within the game is messed up. Maybe it has something to do with games being saved to the cloud?
So apparently the 20 hours or more we put into this server is just gone? Nope. If they don't fix this bug then I'm not playing on here again. We were very close to killing the ender dragon. Honestly I'd even want my money back, because this is in no way acceptable. I honestly feel like there is no point in playing now.
But I'm not deleting my save just in case it is fixed. Because we were having a blast on that server.
Yes, I have a save that I cannot load anymore. No blocks load and the game freezes with me looking at a completely empty sky. Hard resetting the ps3 is the only way to get out of it as the controller doesn't respond to any input, not even the home button. I did save manually a couple times, I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I also changed the difficulty and some of the options after creating the world. After I did that I couldn't load the save.
This post I'm about to make is from a relevant thread of the same subject which I have already posted in, so this is to just make sure a GM doesn't overlook one thread as opposed to the other, pertaining to the subject.
"This is really irritating and annoying seeing as how this has happened over the last TWO patches.
If the people who make the game know of this problem, and haven't fully tested that it's safe to play split screen and manually save, then why would they not put a disclaimer up DISCOURAGING people from manually saving during splitscreen.
After putting in over 12 hours of game-time into TWO DIFFERENT worlds that have been corrupted over TWO DIFFERENT worlds, it would be nice to see some patch notes or disclaimers that say "We are still encountering problems with split-screen manual saves, for the best results of our product please just allow the game to auto-save itself."
Instead of having numerous customers who've paid $20 buying a product only to have all of their progress and data to be erased over the past week.
Any help/updates/patch notes for the future would be more than welcome by many of your customers for the subject of corrupt file saves.
Thank you for the future help and input: GM's and Dev's."
Once again, thank you for your help GM's and developers.

Manually saving in general causes the problem, it doesn't have to be spilt screen. 2 of my single player saves have been hosed and I have no friends so I can't possibly be playing split screen, lol.
Since this seems to be the topic you want all discussion to be in concerning corrupted saves (and you are locking all the other threads on this topic), perhaps this thread should be pinned to the top until the problem is resolved by 4J. That way it can be easily seen/found by others and they would be less likely to try and start new threads.

Birds stop chirping. The wind dies down. Somewhere, a man is drinking a cup of coffee. He freezes, with the cup at his lips.

I've been experiencing corrupted saves soo much and it's happened to me about 3 times.and I had a world I made with three friends and it spawn freezes me every time I load it fix it 4jstudios/mojang or I want my money back
I know, this sucks to the max, me and my cousins spent days making a really cool world, then today i realised we could change it from survival to creative so it would be a bit easier for us, but when I went back on our world this afternoon, the message came up! I was so upset i rang him up and told him, we were both devastated. This is the 3rd world already. Its horrible, please Mojang, fix this or might as well giving everyone their money back!
The game wasn't saving when I quit any of them. The corruption seems rather random.

I hope they fix this because we are only giving it one more chance before being done with it.

I haven't yet either. Maybe it's rare? I might just be paranoid. This.
