Unable to manual or quick save.
Greetings,
I am seeking assistance with my new gained inability to save my game, manual or otherwise.
I was playing the game with no problems only a few days ago then suddenly realised I had lost all the progress from my last play session. Experimentation led me to understand that my game simply will not save any more.
Here is the situation so far:
- I have always played this on this system, it is a windows 10 set up and there were no updates or system changes in between having the ability to save and not.
- I have tried every permutation of allowing "administrator" and read/write access on executables and save folders I can think of.
- I have tried earlier saves, and still no luck.
- The game very clearly does not save, as hitting F5 merly stutters the game slightly, and no message pops up.
- I have not modded, altered or farted around with anything in the Witcher 3 folder. The closest I got was installing (and quickly un-installing) some Empire: Total War mods on the same SSD.
- I have tried wiping my local saves and allowing Steam to re-sync form their generous cloud servers.
- And yes, I have completely uninstalled/wiped and re-installed.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as I have sunk 45 hrs of my time into this game and all of them have been an absolute joy. This is by far one of my favorite gaming experiences and I would hate to give it up at this point simply because I can't actually progress.
