Failed to save error

[Ashenzarea]

Playing the Epic version of the game and the tutorial realm in single player mode:
Saving the game regularly fails with the "Failed to save. Check for sufficient disk space." error.
Restarting the game makes save games work again for a few turns, then it can't save again.
Plenty of disk space on all drives, so it must be something else.

By the way, Planetfall had a similar bug for many people, but that one worked fine for me.

I am getting this error as well Failed to save. Check for sufficient disk space. i have to restart the game and then it will start to save again. also on Epic. not sure where they are putting the save games as its not in the normal Documents\Paradox folder like the rest of their games.

What's going on here?

There seem to be only 10 Save Slots you can have per Session (Game/Campaign/Faction/Realm).

You need to delete one save slot/point or overwrite one of that current session.

In the Load Game menu it says up to 100 Sessions and individual Sessions each have a maximum of 10 save slots.

Example:
1. Session as Rats you make/have two save points.
You can still have 8 more saves combined (auto, manual or quick).

2. Session you start as Orcs and make/have 10 saves you hit the max at which point the game tells you "No more free save slots in session" when you try to do a manual save.
(I assume auto and quick saves overwrite themselves.)

The "Check for suffiencent Disk space" from the OP might be a different thing altoghether though.

I tried to delete it but it doesn't delete the saves seems an odd way to create a save system

I don't own the game on Steam but I'm having the same issue. I can't make manual saves though it seems like auto saves are continuing to work correctly. I also can't delete saves. Trying to delete seems to fail silently, with no error message. The save doesn't get removed from the list.

Additionally, I can't seem to find my save files on the disk. I'm not sure where they are being stored.

Edit: Found the save files. Gonna try deleting them manually from there. See if I can make manual saves if I have less autosaves

Update: After deleting some (most) of the auto saves I was able to load in to the game and make a new manual save.

I think the problem is related to file permissions. Either the game isn't allowed to delete and create new saves or a bug in the game prevents it from interacting properly with the file system.

Where are the saves located?

[ForgottenPlaces]

I'm having the same problems. I can't save and I can't delete saves. I have no idea how to solve this problem. :(

[Rilinyth]

I also had a problem when creating my own race that it isnt able to save the custom ruler etc. seems like there is some weird issue there with the Epic version

[elentillent]

I have the same problem with Epic versin.

On Windows it should be in

/Documents/Paradox Interactive/Age of Wonders 4/Storage

Thanks everyone,
I checked the Paradox forums, and looks like there are multiple issues with saving.
No idea how this kind of basic issue would not get caught in testing.

The Epic specific one may be cloud saving related, and after about 30-60 minutes pass ingame, it's not possible to save, because the game can't reach the server anymore (could be an authentication / timeout issue).

In the Epic version, I couldn't find any savegames offline in the folder mentioned above, or anywhere else, and I don't think there is a setting to turn on offline saves on Epic (or is there?).

The other issue is the savegame limit in total - I didn't see this error, and had about 30 saves in my first game, because I couldn't delete any of them.
I pressed delete in the menu and nothing happened.

Same problem. i found interesting records in log:

"[13:41:04]Skipping FPropertySourceIDGenerator in CRC because every save/load it is incremented. This may be a bug, so fix it!"

"[13:44:43]TStrategicWorldInvasionManager::PostActivate(): Disabled chance check because it changes the CRC on load->save->load. // TODO: To fix, the chance check should be performed once (per round?) and stored."

error:

it's look like developers knew about the problem

Hey Guys, we've tracked down the main issue relating to Epic Game Saves. We have a fix ready that should be coming out shortly.

Same issue.

I just Quick Save every round, then once it fails - after about 12 rounds - I just restart the game and then it works again for awhile.

I guess that's what I get for trying to support the Epic store.
