The issue occurs if you bring along your sniper buddy Quiet on two specific missions.
To avoid any chance of save corruption, do not bring Quiet as a buddy on Mission 29 or Mission 42.
Konami has warned the issue affects all versions of the game - PC, PlayStation 3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
"We deeply apologise, and appreciate your patience for further announcements regarding this issue," Konami wrote in a new blog post.
A patch is now in the works to fix the problem.
