I had a very nasty Bug that ensured that every savegame i created be autosave, quicksave or a regular save would end up corrupted.

 

after some searching i found the reason for the bug inside the output_log.txt

 

 

part of the log that was generated to save a game and then load it. 

Ionic.Zip.ZipException: The file C:/Users/maxmuen/AppData/LocalLow/Obsidian Entertainment/Pillars of Eternity/CurrentGame/d2466ba0d7b54493a6d0cca4c9a751e6 10353843 DyrfordRuins/0.png already exists.

deleting C:/Users/maxmuen/AppData/LocalLow/Obsidian Entertainment and everything in it, solved the bug.

 

Thanks! This seems to be working for me for now...

 

Although I have to do it every time I go to load a save. A pain but guess I'm gonna have to live with it if I want to play.

Hello Verrusin,

 

Have you tried verifying your game cache? In your Steam library, right click Pillars of Eternity > Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Cache. Do you have Steam cloud enabled? 

 

Thanks.
