Inti Creates, the developer behind Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 – the long-awaited third main game in the series – has admitted that there is a corrupt save data in the Switch version of the game.
Sharing information on Twitter, errors can occur when you delete a saved file and then change the settings or language preferences on the title screen. This will then cause the most recently played save file to be corrupted. The problem only seems to occur since the game was updated to the version. 1.0.2.
Luckily, Inti Creates has confirmed that they are working on a patch to fix the issue. It also shares tips on how to avoid problems in the meantime.
We shared the statement below along with the original tweet:
