I've been recently getting a 804 Save Error (save file not saved during auto-save). I saw that error recently - seems to always trigger outside the Creche/Monastery for some reason - it will not auto-save at that point and gives the error. Which always freaks me out, but I've found I just need to move to a different spot and then I can quicksave just fine, and future auto-saves also work normally.

BTW, I blame, for logical reasons, one of my mods, though as always I have no idea which one. It's weird - only in certain spots do the auto-saves fail ... they work elsewhere, as does quick-saving.

BTW2, this is the first time I've ever seen an error code like this when saving, and then the save file failing to be generated. Fortunately, it can and does go away when you leave the spots where saves don't work.

Hmmmm. "Maybe I'm not the only one". (And I apologize, I'm getting a different error code than you guys, I think your error comes from a failed load, not a failed save.)

"having this issue aswell, seems to happen at the Githyanki Creche atm"

"I got the same issue. 804 error after encountering the drunk kobold that falls asleep"

"I am getting the error message. It started when I met the kobold in rosymorn who stumbles out of the winery drunk and falls asleep."

This is just about the same spot where I get my save error.

Your error, Error 300, seems to occur when the game fails to load a quicksave.

I encountered the same error around the creche aswell. I found the fast travel point and as I moved towards the creche it gave me the error on a quicksave.

Hvae you ever found a fix for it? Had to abandon a previous campaign before this one due to the inability to load a save, which also started happening in the creche.

One thing I read was; too many saves, but even after deleting all saves but last, it still continued.

Edit: i uninstalled the game last week when I encountered it, reinstalled it again cuz I like bashing my head against a wall, but going back to the camp gave me a workign autosave. I will now walk towards monestary and see if it fails.

Edit 2: The autosave before the cinematic with the absolute gnomes worked.

So maybe only a reinstall works?

It has nothing to do with your number of saves, AFAICT. I was getting it when I had a tiny number of earlier saves. But it is totally "location based". So the auto save fails near the Waypoint. I try and quicksave. 804, save fails. I try and quicksave in the room with the drunk kobolds. Still, 804 error. Now, of course, I'm freaking out. If I can't save and THEN ALSO get a crash, I am hosed.

But, I found, as I got deeper into the Monastery/Creche, I could quicksave again, and so my heart stopped pounding that I was going to lose all progress. Once I left those areas, saving worked again normally.

Now. The causation? I use a lot of mods and of course I think it's one of them. Do I know which one? Nope; and yes, THAT is the frustrating part of using mods. Figuring out ♥♥♥♥ like this. I mean for a short while I was getting constant crashes in combat and I finally figured out - though I don't get exactly why - it was the Icequiver Arcane Vanguard subclass creating frost surfaces and something in the Frost Guard mod not reacting well to that - once I disabled both ... it went away. That one I was able to self-troubleshoot.

So of course I admit wondering ... if we both experienced this, is it a) not mod caused or b) do we have the same problem mod?

Again, from my experience, it went away once I left the "trouble area" where saves weren't working, so I stopped freaking out about it.

BTW, I know none of this is of assistance for the folks getting the Error 300 Load error (as opposed to the 804 Save Error) ... which was the start of the thread ... but, and I guess I should have said earlier, your best bet is to contact Larian. And consider disabling some mods that might be creating the problem.

Oh, and one other bug that mystifies me. I have no freaking idea why, but if my party has my Alchemist hireling in it when we go to meet Emp in the Astral Plane during the Endgame (right after you fail to control the NB), the game crashes. Just the Alchemist being there does it. Nothing and no one else does. Why? I have no freaking idea, but at least I know the cause, and in the end all it means is he will never be in the Endgame chucking bombs at the Netherbrain.

To chime in, I did not install any mods and now in patch 8 I am running into the same problem of error 804 with quicksaves. It happened right outside the monastery right before the gnome scene and then the drunk kobold scene.

[seeker1]

Well, I was hoping Patch 8 squashed it.

I was getting it in Patch 7 - the 804 save bug - but granted, I chalked it up to the fact that I DO use lots of mods, so maybe something there was causing it.

If you are getting it in Patch 8, no mods ... then it is some kinda bug they didn't squash and isn't mod caused.

So I'll give you the only consolation I know of - if you get that bug, try and quicksave or regular save after you kill all the drunk kobolds, and that seems to always work. The 804 seems to only happen outside the monastery at that one location, but once you're inside you can save normally.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
