‘UserData’ file has been corrupted and is unable to be loaded.” error in NBA 2K22
One of the most common errors that players face when playing NBA2K22 is the “‘UserData’ file has been corrupted and is unable to be loaded.” error message.
Here is a brief guide on how you can solve this issue in NBA 2K22.
The error message appears after the deletion of the reserved space for the game. This space is the space on your hard drive for the game’s updates and patches.
The reserved space data will be re-downloaded by the game, but if the download process is canceled (after the game is rebooted). Consequently, you’ll no longer be able to play any online modes or access any of their online connected files.
To ensure the successful download of the data, follow the steps:
- Open NBA 2K22 and load it into the main menu.
- Once you’re in the main menu, select the Play Now option. Make sure to not enter into a game. *This point is critical*
- All you have to do is to stay on the menu and wait for the data to download and sync.
After a successful download (duration depends on the speed of your internet connection), you will receive a notification. It is a pop-up message on the bottom left of your screen telling you to return to the main menu. Once you’re in the main menu, your game needs to update and reinstall the resources for the reserved data.
