Unable to save at all

Earlier today I noticed that I was unable to save. The save button is greyed out and it says “Can’t save just now, try again soon”. I played another 2-3 hours on. During this time no autosaves were made by the game despite progressing in the story significantly. In the end I was killed and had to load my most recent save from after having spoken to Ginger.

Now when I loaded this save I noticed I was still unable to save. I then reloaded an even earlier save and was able to save again. I then played through this save up until after the shenanigans with the priest. After leaving the priest’s house to give the sermon I am no longer able to save the game again no matter what I do. The option is still greyed out and remains so no matter what and no autosaves are made from this point forward.

So now twice at different points in the game my saves have become useless as they are bugged and I cannot save after loading them…no this is not an issue with the potions etc I have them in inventory.

You don’t have Saviour Schnapps, rest in beds to save the game or do quests and it will automatically save at certain points. The save system will be changed eventually perhaps, since it seems everyone hates it. Saviour Schnapps is an alcoholic drink that saves the game manually, I’m not sure where you buy it, I’m assuming taverns and inns, but it’s a bit expensive. It’s the only way to manually save right now.

Please re-read my post. I have saviour schnapps and resting in beds or doing quests is not autosaving.

Yeah sorry, it’s a bug, reload your last save. It’s all you can do now.

Reloading the old save gives the same issue, you get to certain points where you can no longer save and the game no longer auto saves.

Then I suggest starting a new game or wait for a patch. Sucks I know, this wasn’t the smoothest of launch for Warhorse, almost everyone is having problems. Report the bug, support@kingdomcomerpg.com

Warhorse has over 2000 emails at the moment :joy: most of which I assume are mostly complaints, rather than bugs; doesn’t surprise me really.

Got this problem after a quest script error. I got the notification that the quest step was validated but not in my quest book. I think that everytime you have an strange behaviour on quest validation script, it is safer to reload previous save.

Also please note that the save functionnality was working correctly until i stop the application, so i was able to save multiple time after the script error. It’s only when i restarted the game the day after that I was not able to save. All previous save between the script error and latest save where corrupted. I had to reload a save which was before the script error (3 hours of playtime went to trash bin :stuck_out_tongue: )

One issue can prevent saving the game: bugged archery contest. When you talk to person to start archery contest, it may happen that no one arrives and contest ends immediately after the conversation before it starts and it’s impossible to save game after this moment, i believe it’s not finished in the inner game logic. Solution is to repeat contest, even if one (or both) NPC does not start shooting and you leave the area and get disqualified you can save the game.
