Hello,

 

when I started the game on wednesday I was shocked to see that all of my saves couldn't be loaded anymore. (The loading button was greyed out.)

 

I found this on the internet:

While trying to follow these instructions I did the following: 

 

I) I deleted the Obsidian Entertainment folders.

II) I didnt have any save games in the folder: C:\Users\username\Documents\My Games\Pillars of Eternity, they were all at C:\Users\username\Saved Games\Pillars of Eternity so I skipped this step.

III) I ran the game as admin and created a new character since I had no saves available which could be loaded. 

IV) I created a new save then loaded this save and resaved it.

 

But for some reason my savegames are still not showing up.

 

Any kind of help would be dearly appreciated.

Could you try starting the game with your virus scanner temporarily turned off? (I assume you have one, if not self-installed then Windows Defender) I have been able to reproduce this issue by blocking the TempSave file deliberately (see also here: https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/88009-save-games-not-showing-up/?p=1827931). This is also something that a virus scanner might be doing, especially since PoE is constantly deleting and replacing that file when scanning save games, which a virus scanner might find suspicious.

 

If turning off the scanner does indeed resolve the problem, this would confirm this as the cause. Solving it should then be a straightforward matter of convincing the scanner to trust the PoE executable. If it doesn't help, could you post the output_log file, that might reveal something. See the sticky thread at the top of the Tech forum on where to find the log.
