Hey! It finally works for me. I had somehow missed that PoE writes it save files to a location I didn't anticipate considering my other steam games writes to other locations. So now I did as you said. I deleted the whole folder of save files and now I can save and load again... For now atleast. My other games writes to C:\Users\Username\Documents\ but by chance I stumbled upon a folder containing the save files in C:\Users\Username\Saved Games. So after I found this folder it was as easy as follow the steps you described in your latest post and now I can save and load again. Thank you for your help and patience Aarik D.

I did these things and still no save files. It's so weird, I can't understand why this happens.

When did the 2.03 patch go live? 26th of Oct? Well anyway, I bought the game on the 30th of Oct and I don't recall there being any updates to the game since then.

I've verified the integrity and I get a message that the game is healthy. Windows is updated. No updates available. I'm at a loss here, it's so weird. Because my other games in the steam library works fine and manages to write the save files to disk. But PoE for some reason just don't.

Hey! Yes, I am launching Steam as an Admin, but I can't launch the game.exe as admin. Because I can't launch it straight from the .exe. I get this runtime error message when I try start the game up through the PillarsOfEternity.exe: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rs30lox7bhdl0vz/ErrorPoE.png?dl=0 I can run other games as admin by running them through their respective .exe. But PoE I have to run through Steam or it won't even start. I have 302 GB free of 912 GB on my HDD so there should be enough space for some save files. The problem is the game itself don't seem to write anything to disk with or without Steam Cloud Sync.

I've made multiple characters in the game and none of my saved games are anywhere on my HDD. Both the Continue and Load buttons are greyed out in the main menu of the game. I can create a new game, save and load in game, but as soon as I exit the game the save files vanish. The folder for save files for Pillars of Eternity is non existant in my C:\Users\User\my games or C:\Users\User\SavedGames. I have tried all the different fixes listed on this forum and on other forums as well to no success. Including: Reinstalling the game, deleting local game files, deleting files in the AppData folders, deleting a path in RegEdit, running Steam as admin, copying the temp save files from the AppData folder etc. The game doesn't seem to write the save file to disk at all. I did find a temporary save file in C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Temp\Obsidian Entertainment\TempSaveData but as soon as I exited the game client the data in that folder gets deleted and nothing is saved. In the output_log.txt there is a line which says: Error loading save game cache! Is there a solution for this problem? Are people except me still having this issue? What is going on? I just purchased this game and enjoyed it until this bug which makes it completely pointless to play. I've attached the output_log.txt and DxDiag.txt and also included dropbox links for the files. https://www.dropbox.com/s/fg8s33zkthvvqv1/DxDiag.txt?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/w3ir8yjtjzziu6a/output_log.txt?dl=0 DxDiag.txt output_log.txt
