Save Failed

**MrJade** · March 21, 2014, 12:18 PM

I've played both and Egyptian and a Bactrian campaign, and in both cases at about turn 75-80 my saves start saying "Save Failed". The game "allows" me to auto-save and quick save, but neither update, and trying to reload any save from any point in the campaign goes to the loading screen, loads all the way up, and the loads the main screen. Until the point where my saves start saying "save failed" I can load any point in the campaign. After that, the save that I made turn 1 fails. I can start a new campaign, no problems. Saves work, until turn 75-80 where it happens all over again.

Very frustrating. I very much want to like DeI, but if I can't play past turn 75, I'll have to uninstall. Any help?

I'm sorry to hear that but it's almost impossible that DeI has something to do with this issue.

I've played a vanilla campaign following this issue, no problems. I also have no mods installed...

No other mods installed. I apparently can't edit my posts yet.

I have really no idea of what can cause your issue and there are a lot of people here that have saves with DeI far beyond the 75-80 turns range and that have no problems whatsoever.

I never heard anybody having this problem before (and I heard all sort of problems). For this I told you that it's almost impossible it's tied specifically to DeI. Maybe DeI is what can cause the problem to appear, sure, but it is not the cause.

Anyway if you happen to have a save game near the point when it begins doing so please post it here and I will take a look at it to be sure.

I've actually encountered that "Save Failed" message before but managed to bypass it either just playing another turn or simply spamming the Save process until it worked. Your case sounds a lot worse though, you might want to look towards CA support for something like this, as though you have no issue with vanilla it really doesn't sound like a mod-generated problem.

I opened up a ticket from CA, but it's been over an hour, and they haven't responded yet.
