I just began playing Metro Exodus, but it crashed immediately upon starting for the initial time due to a “minimum system requirements” message–this was because I had installed reshade without modifying its DLL file. Renaming the DLL resolved the problem successfully. After that, I enjoyed a four-hour gaming session with excellent performance. However, when I replayed the game after a break, it indicated that my save file was damaged. It then presented me with an option to overwrite the existing save, which I accepted and continued from my previous point of play. It’s perplexing how this could have occurred, given the reported corruption. Furthermore, if a save becomes damaged, does it negatively impact performance, specifically for this game or even the entire solid-state drive? Currently, Metro Exodus is experiencing these types of problems, and I’m not alone in encountering them. Considering this, does a corrupted save file lead to any damage to the SSD or other storage devices? I closed the game in a standard manner, and everything appeared fine. It seems Steam Cloud is currently presenting difficulties with Metro Exodus’s save functionality.

The solid-state drive remains undamaged during the occurrence. A flawed file is simply a document that was encoded incorrectly, and the potential for you to replace it likely stemmed from the game utilizing a prior save or an automatic backup. Regarding its impact on other games, no, it’s unlikely unless a significant issue arose within the file system—a scenario considered extremely improbable.

The solid-state drive remains undamaged. A flawed file is simply a data entry that was recorded incorrectly, and the possibility of overwriting it likely stemmed from a game utilizing an older saved file or an automatic backup. Regarding its impact on other games, it is unlikely to have any effect, barring a significant event within the file system—a scenario considered exceedingly improbable.

I concur. It's improbable. Widespread corruption IS conceivable, but not typically stemming from something as simple as a game save.
