Save files keep getting corrupted.

[Squashie]

Start to load the game and it crashes. Need to go back 5-7 saves to find one that works. This is now consistent every time I exit the game.

Anyone else experiencing this?

EDIT: Looks like it's only affecting certain areas of the game. Currently every save at Rosymorn Monastery is corrupted and causes game to crash.

turn off cloud saving

Thank you! Looks like it resolved the issue!

do we need to turn off cloud saving in steam or in the game? I've turned crossplatform saves but the game keeps crashing when I am trying to load my last save in act 2

So I just turned off in steam and prevented larian launcher from staring and everything works well.

To turn off, right click on the game in your library and there is an option to disable cloud saves specifically for that game.

Side note, I've turned off cloud saves, reset all settings to default, etc. I still get this periodically since hitting Act2. I sometimes have to try 5 or 6 saves back before I get a good one. Now I hit F5 every 5 or so minutes, but immediately reload the save to confirm if it was valid.

I cant figure the trigger. I have a save right now, loads fine. If I fast travel to a specific area and save, thats now corrupted. However if I fast travel somewhere else instead, but then fast travel to the "bad" spot, the save will be fine. It's very erratic.

That sounds like the hotfix 4 problem.

Same with me, tried every suggestion and still can't load the game, really pissed, just lost 50 hours save, 5 days, and no dev answer as well.

I tried tuning off cloud save. cross save, re-installed the game, cleared cache and registry.

Sincerely, I wish I had my money back.

50 hours lost for nothing. The save is not from EA, it was a new one.

Yeah sometimes quicksaves and autosaves get corrupted out of nowhere. You just take a break or play the next day and voila, game crashes at 60%.

Dunno why it happens but its the game's fault. Be sure to do normal saves more often as they appear to work without problem

for me, I just had this happen (moonrise towers act 2), and so had a save file from RIGHT before it started happening.
never had a corrupted save before, ever.

Turns out it is summons on Gale while in certain places (never had this happen with no Gale). no summons... no crash. specifically, I believe it is undead summons on gale. doesn't matter if you park them outside or not. causes corrupted saves when in moonrise towers for certain. likely it is script related. never had a problem with any summon that did NOT make "friendlies" uptight (druid woodland, infernal summons like cambion).

I'm literally getting so tired of this. I can't even get past the grove after 7 hours because I keep getting corruptions between going from the leader dude to the prison. Cloud saves are off!!! My manual saves keep DISAPPEARING

Hey sorry for reviving this but did you ever find a solution for this? I'm having this for no reasons on P8. It saves alright and the next moment it gets stuck at 75% then go down 25, 50, 25 again and just brings me back to the menu.
