You need to delete all files in %UserProfile%\AppData\LocalLow\Obsidian Entertainment\Pillars of Eternity\CurrentGame %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Temp And most likely all stored files in %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Pillars of Eternity (Except the save you want, but if the game has the same problem all over again, your save edit failed and the save is junk) So delete it, and quicksave out of an older save again. If you still have saving problems, then I don't know I'll try the third, I deleted the temp folders but did not delete all the other saves. I'll try that, thanks! Just be sure that you that you don't delete saves you actually wanted to keep, better to move them elsewhere just to be sure. Yeah, I created backups of all of them. I had already reinstalled the game, but didn't try it after doing that. I did remove everything from the save folder (and the temp folders) except the single, edited/cleaned quicksave that I wanted to keep. Loading it worked fine, so I made a manual save and quit to menu and loaded it and it worked, entered into a house to create an autosave and did the same thing and it worked. Seems fixed for me now, it's odd that just having other save games (all of which are from other actual playthroughs with different characters) screws it up that much. Thanks for the help though.

So, as of now it seems like I have completely messed up saving in PoE. Originally I edited my quicksave, which in retrospect may have been a bad idea. For whatever reason now, every save I create is ****ed and either results with the game just returning to the main menu or a black load screen. This has extended to a brand new character I made to test it as well. No idea whats going with that, gonna try reinstalling I guess. for reference old saves (and my backup of the one I edited) load fine. Any save I've made after I edited it however, is broken. I'm going to delete all the saves I've made afterwards and see if that fixes it. I didn't touch anything other than one .savegame file in %USERPATH%/saved games/ -directory, but I didn't work with the most recent save. I would suggest saving your game in a unusual location first to make identifying the correct file to work with easier, as the location will be visible in the file name after the GUID. C:\Users\user\Saved Games\Pillars of Eternity is the path to it.
