Rocket League save data corrupted: repair savegame?


Why does the error message “Save data corrupted” appear when starting Rocket League? How can I repair the corrupted save data and what exactly is the cause of the problem? These two questions may concern one or two Rocket League players on the PC but also on the PS4 and Xbox One. In this article we have created a short guide on what the error is about and how you can repair the save data.

Rocket League: Save data corrupted

If the save data is corrupted in Rocket League, you can usually fix the problem quickly by deleting the save and re-synchronizing it. Deleting a save does not have a major impact on your account, progress and inventory, as most of the data is stored on the servers. As you can see from the linked FAQ article, the following data is stored on the servers.

  • XP, level, title
  • inventory
  • Matchmaking information
  • Game settings
  • Presets
  • statistics

The local save contains data such as replays, video settings and New User Experience Completion (Intro cinematic, Intro match)”.

In order to delete the save game and thus repair the damaged save data, you have to delete the save game on the console via the settings and the save game management. On the PC you have to deactivate cloud synchronization, start the game and activate synchronization again. If possible, you should create a backup beforehand (either locally or via cloud backup). If you have downloaded Rocket League via Steam or the Epic Games Store, you must proceed as follows.

Rocket League on the Epic Games Store

  1. Close Rocket League and open the Epic Games Launcher.
  2. Go to Settings and uncheck “Enable Cloud Saves”.
  3. Start Rocket League and create a new savegame.
  4. Quit the game and start again.

Rocket League on Steam

  1. Close Rocket League and open the Steam client.
  2. Right-click on the Rocket League entry and use “Properties” and “General” to uncheck “Save saves in the Steam Cloud for”.
  3. Start Rocket League and have a new score created.
  4. Quit the game and start again.

Tip: This is how you can transfer the Rocket League score from the PS4 to the PC.
