Elden Ring | Failed to Load Save Data (FIX)

[randylarios]

So basically you have to delete local data in the manage games and add on and then go to settings and go offline load the game it will take you through the terms of conditions and then you will get the network connection error after that go back to settings and go back online.

I found if you unplug the power cord and remove the Ethernet cable, wait 15 seconds. Plug both back in and startup counsel. So far this has brought the game back every time.

Shutting down my console actually worked. I had already lost a few hours of progress to this issue and idk what I would’ve done if I lost it all again, and more. Thanks for the advice

OUTSTANDING...I have over 300 hours in the game. I about soiled myself in my groinal region at the thought of all this hard work being lost.

[cbpwn]

I lost 100 hours. Honestly, the only thing that would remedy this for me would be a FULL REFUND for the game. This is totally unacceptable

[travisprescott]

Thanks! Worked great for me. Thought I had lost 100+ hours.

I use and XBOX Series X. I lost my internet right as I was selecting a Site of Grace. When I got the internet back up and running, I had this "Fail to Load Save Data" issue. Tried the fix that you showed and it 100% worked for me. Full recovery. Nothing lost. Thanks!

Amazing that this is still a thing in this game a whole year later. Just lost 4 or 5 hours simply for saving and quitting to the menu. I guess I need to break my muscle memory and actually quit out to the Xbox home screen. Funny how that saves the game more consitently than the dedicated Save & Quit. Game of the Year!

Thanks, just going to my game and pressing quit worked for me

[Nordraw]

I just cleared out the “resume game” for Elden Ring and it started right up. Give it a try, this was on Xbox series X

[jonathansilva]

it worked perfectly for me, saved my progress, thank you very much friend

[nothanks]

Mine just says checking save data and never gets any further I can’t even get to the settings

[switchblade]

I haven’t even played yet and I’m getting this prompt, i have uninstalled and reinstalled it 4 times and nothing

[zakkbeast]

thank you. i saved the game after it took me 5 hours to beat Maliketh the black blade. I thought I was going to have to do it again.

[nxbwjiz]

[ianpatrickclarksr]

i quit to title screen from just picking up mushroom suit in that cave in game chose continue game was loaded in a death animation outside an evergaol at liurnia lakes 35 hours earlier then had to choose to reload at a stake or last grace neither gave back my lost time.

[Katoasapun]

Thank you so much. So far I managed to Keep my saves :)

[AceAxteria]

I lost all my progres and use this still cant recover it

And I dont know why elden ring cant recover use cloud backup

I try delete my another game savedata and can auto recover use cloud

[anewstandard.floors]

Idk why, but shutting it down from the settings instead of like i usually do worked.
I tried restarting the other way a few times all day on and off and it wouldn't work. Im one playthrough away from platinum, just need one more ending, have everything else. I know i could have got all endings on the one, but something went wrong and i got locked out of the fog door so decided to just do individual playthroughs
