Metal Gear Solid V Final
Big Boss and his team prepare for a mission in "Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain." http://www.konami.jp/

Just a few days after its release, “Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain” is already suffering from some issues. Its launch date opened with players having trouble connecting to the servers.

After that, a new bug has been found, but this one could prove to be more destructive to the gamer’s data. Konami recently issued a warning to “Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain” players that addresses a bug that could potentially corrupt, then later on delete save files. The announcement was made through Konami’s UK website, stating that the bug could be triggered if Quiet is taken in as a companion while playing both Missions 29 and 42.

The only solution Konami has provided for now is to not use Quiet as a companion during these missions. The bug can be encountered in all platforms on which the game has launched, which includes the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and the PC.

Konami’s community manager Rober Allen Peeler took to Twitter to announce that the company is still looking for the root of the bug. Once it has located the cause, it could then proceed to fixing the issue. Konami understood the current predicament of player’s and has since issued an apology to players.

"We deeply apologize, and appreciate your patience for further announcements regarding this issue," Konami said over at its official Twitter account.

Hopefully enough, Konami can fix all issues within the game. As expected of many recent game launches, “Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain” also had several issues on launch. As with the server issue last week, Konami has tweaked all possible causes of the server connectivity error.

With the game receiving a new multiplayer mode for consoles next month, Konami should be vigilant in pointing out bugs and fixing issues. The new multiplayer mode will feature a more head-to-head multiplayer battle, which pits players against each other.
