Idolm@ster 2 on PS3
JNiles:
AUUUUUUGH! I just lost all my Idolmaster save data! I have no idea how this happened... I might've not been paying attention for a sec, but that wouldn't be enough to delete my data. Everything's gone, except for the trophies- my other games' data is okay, I think. I have a backup, but it's old... so much for squeezing in a little gameplay.
I have no idea how this happened. Maybe it's something to do with the fact that it's an import? :-[
BT2:
It's a known problem even with the 360 ver.
The game sometimes forgets to autoload your save at the start and the game has autosave on default settings.
Changing options, going to S4U and so will trigger autosave, so yea.
Usually it's best to go back to the XMB or dashboard if you think something's wrong with your save, you don't want to mess around too much in case the autosave will kick in.

The only bug I'm aware of is if you attempt to run the extra episodes while you have a game (or several) normal games running, the process of saving the extra episode clear will clear out the first slot of the regular run.
I've only heard of one case of this happening though.
As BT2 noted - if for whatever reason it goes back to the 'Please input your Producer name' screen, exit the game (or reset it) and it SHOULD reload the correct data on reboot.
Then again, I forcibly turn off Autosave, and save manually. It saves me a lot of trouble since I get awareness of errors like that.

Thanks for the info. Too late for me, though. I tinkered around in the menu and triggered the autosave (S4U and Options menu). Guess I shouldn't waste time- time to start the slow, painful, and possibly ineffectual restore process. REDRUM.

Yep, that's what happened, except I didn't do the smart thing and shut it off immediately. Back to square 1, maybe 2. I'll be turning off Autosave from now on. -_-

My last and only IM@S backup was done on 11/12, with 6 1/2 hours of gameplay and 26 game weeks. I might as well start from scratch, because that first playthrough was BAD.
In my haste to deal with my data loss, I neglected to give the development team a big middle finger. Whoever let this whopper of a bug slip by, you are not a developer. You are a fraud, you and your single save file system.
