do not open the museum!
do not open the news!

gt5 has a big trouble
maybe the save data contains network cache
and will continue to bloat
you can not start the game again when you reached 4165KB
if you have ever watched the museum or news,
then please check the amount of saved data and back up ASAP
Japanese crazy users reported this fatal bug
but Polyphony says nothing
I cannot already start,I hope you are safe

how to reproduce
museum trouble
1.create a new psn account
2.start new game
3.save[maybe about 400KB]
4.open the museum[only have 5 cards]
5.all manufacturers and all text down to the bottom
6.save[increase about 300KB]
7.try again and again.. 14 times
8.file size gonna be 4165KB
9.only open the museum but save data has errors can not start the game again
does not matter how many cards do you have
problem is how many times do you open the museum

news trouble
1.create a new psn account
2.start new game
3.save[maybe about 400KB]
4.open the news
5.see all news text and pics
6.save
7.only open the news but file size gonna be over 2MB

Who would open/close the Museum consecutively 14 times in a row is more of the mystery than the bug itself.

I open the museum always i log into gt5 (since november, so must be more then 14. times) and the game still runs great.

I always at the end of the day copy save to my pendrive though.

I exchange museum cards with my wife (she has got second account) and she also is not having any problems.

so... whats the bug ?

It's cache
so, If you open ONE manufacture and do not scroll down,
then increase few KB
increase amount is displayed on the screen text
anyway, each time the text is displayed
the save file is going to increase [unstoppable]
someday, your save data gonna reach 4165KB and cry

You can verify this problem easy by your new account

Sephy Mmmmm, pigtails
Is it viewing News and the Museum or is it just hitting 4165KB? Cause I'm at around 1500KB I think.

This does sound pretty bad, however, I would venture that secondary confirmation would be required before we all run to the hills with arms raised, etc.

If it can be avoided by clearing the cache, then that's a doable work-around.

My main save is about half the amount mentioned, so I'm not too concerned at this stage, but will probably clear the cache just to be safe.

A heads up is, after all said and done, a heads up...

My tuppence...

So once the save file exceeds 4mb or so the game dies.
If it's true then thanks for the heads up.

Any chance that people might hold of on the insults until this can be proved or dissporoved? The OP, who is obviously not a native English speaker, might just have done a great service to the community.

Can anybody else confirm or deny this?
