corrupted save.
hard difficulty.
i played yesterday with one other person over the net, other than that it's all been solo, never using local splitscreen. the save file was fine yesterday and this morning.
i have been extremely careful not to manually save and to always exit without saving, always using only the autosave.
i was on the overworld. i was fighting 2 spiders when the autosave hit. i may have been in the air, mid jump. i came back with the normal amount of post autosave lag (a bit worse than the 360, but not unplayable), killed the spiders and started charging a skelly. i was about to get the skelly when the system froze. i had a diamond sword, so it all happened pretty fast, straining the system a little, i suppose. after rebooting, corrupted save, i guess that's how it goes..
like many others, i was hunting ender pearls.. (pretty close to having all i needed.)
i got the blue screen and stars.
i wouldn't mind losing out on 15 minutes of progress due to a system freeze, but the corrupted save thing is pretty bad. i would call this bug "game breaking". i'll check back in a couple weeks, but in the mean time i'll definitely advise people to not make the purchase until the corrupted save issue has been worked out.
heh. i paid premium price to be a beta tester.
