So it's actually impossible for me to get further than the Elite Four? I also tried to let myself defeated by Lance so I got back out of the Elite Four Building again. Maybe there is something else I can do in this way? That the damage will be fixed if it sees that I'm out of the building??
no, what i mean is that if you try to load a save state that was before a good ingame save, your next ingame save will be corrupt.

So there is no solution?

Could you be much more clear? Ingame saves (dsv) are the ones getting corrupt and not savestates (dss).

I am extremely confused on how to do this
here is what I did:
erase non working dsv (still have a copy on drive)
make a new game
make an ingame save as soon as I could
*load state you want ( the only state I have is from 4 hours before my corrupted ingame save. Is that the only one I can go back to?)
If you guys could help me that would be great!

Hi! ive been having similar issues with pokemon Platinum. Ive tried following the steps mentioned, but the thing is that the game self restarts every time before I can finish wathing the proffesors speech, so there is no way I can make an in game save. Is there an alternative I can go for?

Thanks!

Sounds like you answered your own question there lol. Yes that is the only one you can go back to. Are you still having this problem? Should've been patched up for ya 2 updates ago.

What version of drastic are you using? Look at the bottom right of the main menu when you boot drastic.

Like he says, you probably have to update to 2.1.6.2a. It's the October curse.

On Main Title screen press Up+Select+B and it should take you to a screen asking if you'd like to delete save file and once deleted cannot recover. Continue on and it will take 5-10 seconds to delete it. The game will reset on its own. Once it has reset, try the steps mentioned minus removing the dsv and I believe it should work. I haven't had a problem since I've done it and it has saved successfully after Elite 4 and everything.

So I have to start all over to save my game or I can back to where I was before corrupted file
