Inability to Save (should be the highest priority fix)

Bugs
#1

I love the game and I put over 100 hours into so far, but I have lost my patience when it comes to the lost progress due to the stuck loading when attempting to save the game.

This problem seems to be tied to certain quests like House of God and many others - it doesn’t get any more game-breaking than this. It doesn’t seem to matter if the save is from a potion, sleeping or auto-save from a checkpoint … the game just hangs and the save doesn’t actually happen.

Losing 45 minutes of progress is about as frustrating as it gets when it comes to playing an RPG. This problem should be the highest priority fix right now because it is the most game-breaking bug.

In addition, Sasau performance is awful … most of the quest that originate or deal with this area have the above-stated problem.

My game seems to be at a point to where I am unable to do anything now because no matter where I go and what I do, I am unable to save and my only option is load a save from HOURS prior, and I would just rather not play the game than do that.

We don’t need a respec potion before we need this! Stop working on all this “nice to have” and quality of life features when there are such game-breaking problems.

At the risk of sounding dumbass, I have to ask if you ever delete any of your saves. The first Saturday after release, I played about 8-9 hours, only to find on Sunday it hadn’t saved anything. Even though it claimed to. Only after starting a new game did I find out about a 30 or so save limit… Now I go to load menu and delete all but the top 3 or 4 when I think of it.

I have about 200 saves, so I don’t think there’s any save limit on PC.

I remember seeing a post saying that the game has a “limit” of 300 saves and it tends to give problems after that it was on steam forums if im not mistaken

Edit: cant remember the exact post thou

In some ways, you’re lucky. I started getting game disrupting issues once my PS4 had more than 15.

I am at exactly 250 saves - I tried deleting the oldest 240 of them and it didn’t make any difference on my ability to save.

Think the temp data get corrupted and incorporated in sleep/bathhouse saves (own experience)

Ok, I found a reddit post that explains how to fix this problem. Basically, I deleted all of my save files except the most-recent one, then loaded up the only save game. Then went into the “Load Game” menu once it had finally loaded in, then chose “Delete”. Then I used a bed to sleep and it successfully saved the game with save #1 (instead of 251) … this fixed it!

There seems to be some hard-limit on the number of saves and for me it was 250.

If you are going to try this, I highly recommend you backup your save folder first in case you make a mistake.

here’s the post if anyone else is interested:

Glad you got it sorted out. Thanks for the tip, by the way. If/when it happens again it won’t be such a heavy ball buster.
