witcher 2 does not load savegames

Hi Guys,

since a few days I have a problem with loading savegames. When I load a save from the prologue it's fine but trying to load any starting from act1 the game showes the loading screen and nothing happens. The little circle in the right low corner is just spining for hours.
My system, gameversion or graphicdrivers can not really be the reason because it worked previously.

Can you please help me?

Sounds like you might have a corrupted save and if it`s anything like witcher 1 then it keeps manifesting itself in every save you make . You might try loading a save from the prolog and play to act 1 and make a manual save then try loading that save .

That works for now. Thank You :) Is there a way to prevent corrupted saves?

EDIT: It started again -.-

Is your game a Steam version ?

I may have a save game from the beginning of act 1 if you would care to try it .

No it's not Steam.
I don't know if this would work, because yesterday I had a working save from act1 but after playing for a hour the game created a new corrupted save.
Any idea to stop this?

The only thing that comes to mind offhand is errors on your hard drive which could possibly lead to what you`re experiencing .Go to "My Computer" and right click the "C" drive and select properties and then the tools tab and then in the error checking "check now" and in the dialog box that appears make sure both boxes are checked and click start . Windows should give a message about not being able to check the disc because of system files in use and would you like to schedule it at the next restart . Just click yes and ok then restart your computer and windows disk check will take over from there . By checking both boxes mentioned earlier it should go through a 5 stage process .

I have run the error checking tool and now my hd should be without errors. I could test the result for the game just a fiew minutes jet, but new created savegames are not corrupted until now.

How many save games are in the witcher 2 folder ? You might try backing them up to another folder if you wish to save them . Once that is done delete the ones you don`t want to keep the try reloading a save . Also in Documents right click the witcher 2 folder and ensure that is set to read only .

I kept the saves I want and I can play the game now and load saves :) But ther is still a thing with loading: sometimes the game get caught on the loadingscreen but when Iswitch to an other opened window and back it loads the save successfully. So it's no problem if we don't solve that because it works anyway.

OK . Is your Documents folder on the "C" drive and if so how much free space is on the "C" drive ?

Yes it is and there is 332gb free space. Should not be the reason ^^

Just checking to make sure you have ample free space . About the only other thing i can think of is either there is something not right with the game installation or your antivirus program is not playing friendly . First try making an exception in your antivirus program for witcher 2 and also Witcher 2 folder in the Documents area and retry game . If saves continue being problematic the uninstall the game and
1) disconnect from internet
2)disable antivirus
3) install game and patches
4)enable antivirus and reconnect to the internet .
