Now, I'll begin by saying that I have not yet become a victim of this corruption issue but I want to contribute a series of instructions so as to be safe and possibly, even if you have corrupt data, how to retrieve it.
I have read the entire thread ( http://social.biowar...index/5776049/6 ) thoroughly and my suggestions include what people have already mentioned. Of course there is no guarrantee and nothing can fix the game better than a patch by Bioware. But until that happens there is no harm in trying to avoid and correct the problem ourselves.
------------------------------------------
AVOID IT
First of all and again, based on what people say, what to do to MINIMISE the possibility of a corrupt save game.
STEPS:
1) Disable from the options, the auto- sign in to EA servers and play your game always offline, disconnected from the internet.
2) Also from the options, disable the autosave feature (but dont forget to save
) since a lot of people had their problem occur during autosave.-------------------------------------------------------------
FIX IT
Now, what to do in case YOU HAVE corrupt save data and can possibly correct it and resume your game normaly. This series of instructions REQUIRES that you have a BACKUP of your saved game (before it was corrupted) in a usb stick, HDD or any other similar means. And by saying that I encourage everyone to keep backups of their saved games after each session, you never know when you might need them.
As a lot of people discussed already, there are hints that point to the fact that the save game corruption goes as deep as the EA servers themselves, if it is indeed not possible to simply use your backup saves and resume your game normaly. This method will try to avoid EA servers and online entirely.
STEPS:
1) First thing you do is you delete from your PS3 everything that has to do with Mass Effect 2 data. Your saves, your profile data (which cannot be copied but it doesnt hold save information), the game data (ie you "uninstall the game"), the DLC data, corrupted saves... everything.
2) Now that your PS3 is clean of anything that is ME2 related, you should sign in to your PSN ID and go to the PS store. Redownload the DLC without even touching ME2. This is important! I repeat you download the DLC first, you DONT download the DLC through the ME2 game and dont install the game or even put into the drive of your PS3 yet. Dont try to install the DLC when the download is complete.
3) Next step is to disconnect your PS3 system from the internet ENTIRELY! No internet connection at all. Everything we do from now on should be completely offline to make sure we do not get involved with EA in any way, the dark side of the moon.
4) After that you put ME2 disc into your PS3 and load the game. Let the game install (make a sandwitch
)5) Leave the game as soon as it is installed, go back to XMB and find the DLC which is there waiting to be installed. Install it.
6) Next step is to connect your HDD, usb stick or any other means that has your previous backup save file and copy your save files in your PS3.
7) Load the game, it should be working properly now. Also repeat the steps mentioned on how to avoid getting the corrupt save in the future.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Again, there are no guarrantees here. I am just trying to help until bioware fixes it properly. My suggestions are based on the feedback of the people with the problem and simple logic. I cannot comprehend why this wont work. We dont get involved with EA servers at all, we work offline and the only way i could see this not working, is the PS3 "predicting" the future that this save file was corrupted at some point in the future so it decides that it wont load it. Skynet stuff in other words lol!
Anyway I hope this helps my friends and would love if someone could confirm whether it worked for him or not.
PS: Sorry for bad english and huge post!
