Virtue’s Last Reward bug still being looked into, but no imminent fix
Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward has a troublesome bug. If encountered, players’ save data may be wiped.
North American publisher Aksys Games said last year that it was looking into the situation, but hasn’t provided any updates in a few months.
An Aksys representative explained why it has been taking so long for the glitch to be addressed:

Added to that, the investigation itself required a lot of go-between with three parties involved, one of which was separated by a language barrier and time zone.”
