Nintendo is working on a fix to prevent corrupt save games in Animal Crossing

Nintendo is working on a fix for a bug in Animal Crossing that could corrupt save games. The bug occurs when the airport gates are open, the player talks to Tom Nook and asks him to renovate an islander’s house.

Nintendo wrote on a support page that Animal Crossing: New Horizons players who have downloaded the new Happy Home Paradise DLC may experience “gameplay issues” with a certain combination of in-game events.

If the airport gates are open in the game, the player chats with the Tom Nook character and asks him to renovate another islander’s house, Nintendo recommends exiting the game without stopping the progress. save and then reboot. On the support page, the Japanese manufacturer does not mention a corrupt save file, but according to some users on Reddit, this bug leads to corrupted save files, which can lead to loss of progress in the game.

For now, Nintendo recommends that you don’t ask the Tom Nook character in Animal Crossing: New Horizons to take care of another islander’s house. Later this month, the company says it will release a fix for the bug.
