Default Re: Problem with saving

If the save game folder is missing you won't see " >Auto-saved game " in slot one and not having a save game folder doesn't cause a freeze, in my game anyway, you simply cannot save the game but different computers may act differently in that circumstance

I assume you've just recently DL'd it and started playing and this brings up a bunch of questions

1- what operating system are you using ?
2-Did you install all of the patches ?

and, if this isn't a recent DL

3- Have you been able to save a game in the past?

What I would suggest is delete the existing game and re-install it and all the patches in the order they were released. Not being able to save is not normal under any circumstances

The other suggestion would be to defragment your Hard Drive with the check for lost clusters, if you have not done so recently. Freeing up "lost" clusters can significantly increase disk space.

Also, consider a surface scan for bad disc sectors. Those can cause all sorts of strange errors if present, not just save errors. Run the surface scan overnight though - it takes a lot of time!.

Cheers
Andy

Thanks guys. Now I know the game will save and I'm not as dumb as I thought I was. Deleting and reinstalling the game was my next option. Just wanted to see if it would save and if I was doing something wrong. Again, thanks.
