Ps3 – Is it possible to uncorrupt a Dead Island save on the PS3

There's no other way of saving the game, other than the bugged auto saving.

They are definitely going to fix it, but when is unknown at this time. Here's a quote I found on the fan forums, however I do not know how reliable this source is:

I called Tech support they said the patch that will fix the save issues should be here either Monday or Tuesday at the latest.

Also, someone has reported that they fixed the problem. The steps he did was:

1. Go into Game Data Utility
2. Select the Dead Island file (It should be 31Mb)
3. Remove the file
4. Run Dead Island
5. When shown the update screen, cancel it. (It should log you out of PSN until you install it)
6. Play the game offline for five minutes. (Repair your weapons or something)
7. Turn off your PS3 (I recommend the touch button on the front of the PS3, and THEN flick the switch at the back)
8. Turn on your PS3 again
9. Run Dead Island
10. Allow the patch to install

NOTE: I don't have Dead Island on the PS3 so there's no way I can test that this actually works. So if someone should test it and report back if it fixes it or not.

The way to do it is to back up all your DI files to a USB, then delete them from your PS3. Then boot up the game, install the patch, and then put your save data back in.
