Bloodborne (PlayStation 4)

?Bloodborne Game install Incomplete. Cannot load save data. SOLUTION

  1. hi guys!
    This has been my problem for the past 2 days. I have tried uninstalling the game and updating it multiple times. I also tried putting the ps4 in rest mode for multiple hours. I also asked the store to replace my disc. ALL OF THESE DID NOT WORK FOR ME.

    the solution that worked for me was by creating a new character. important thing here is to play until the bonfire in Yharnam. You can just run past the enemies until you reach the bonfire. ACTIVATE the bonfire. I teleported to Hunters Dream to be sure.
    After that, exit to the main menu of Bloodborne. (options then right right, down to Exit) Go to Load Game. (I'm not sure if Continue will work). Choose your main character or any character that you want. Done

Accepted Answer

  1. The game install progress is more of a registration to the PS4, not a full install. It's just enough to setup for the system and start the game.

    The game is over 27GB and a complete install takes longer. It will take 20-30min to install (blu-ray read speed is approx 27MB/s). Playing the game while installing or putting the system into rest mode may take longer to install.

    So your save file is fine. Just give it some time and the game will install and be ready.

    Also if you uninstall, the game will be version 1.00 and if your save data is a higher version like 1.01 then you will need to download the update.

  1. My buddy just had this problem at my house. His fix was to start a new game, played it for a little bit, then loaded the old save and for some reason it worked.
