[1.10] Save games non-functional after update.

Post by Xaviar21 »

Was playing, saving, and loading prior to the 1.1 update just fine.

Post 1.1 update, game seems to think there are no saves (Continue and Load options on main menu are greyed out)
Starting a new game, and attempting to save just gives an immediate "Save Game Failed" (another thread indicated this might be an antivirus or space issue, but it was working perfectly pre-update)

F:\GoG\X4 Foundations\save has several files that appear to be my old saves, but as mentioned the game doesn't seem to be able to find them.

To rule out a permissions issue, after the problem started, I added "Everyone" as a principal to the save folder and all files and subfolders with "Full Control" permissions. Did not seem to help.

Copied the save folder to my desktop for safe keeping, uninstalled through GoG, and then manually deleted all the leftovers in F:\GoG\X4 Foundations\, reinstalled. Game still says "Save Game Failed" after starting new game.

To be clear the only change was the 1.1 update. Was playing on and off all day, saving and loading multiple saves with no issue. Ate dinner, came back, saw GoG had updated, started the game, and saw the above symptoms.

It sounds like something is preventing the game from accessing the folder. It could be your AV or it could be something like bitlocker. Try excluding that folder from such tools.
