Having the same issue - "Failed to create save game."
Verification, PC restarting and reinstalling didn't help.
Very frustrating.

First thing is make sure your Documents\ isn't sitting on a full disk.
Second thing is shut off any cloud garbage you're using to sync that directory. Shut it off and leave it off forever.
Third is pray that, if this is really a bug in the game, it gets fixed.

Not seeing the issue here.

Do you guys have ransomware protection? It's possible something is blocking access to documents or wherever the saves are.

Check your antivirus settings.

saves, exit save, quick save, auto save work on my win 11
they are in folder
Documents\My Games\Starfield\Saves

check your antivirus log? might be blocking the game

have windows one drive running? turn it off or if you need it, add exceptions for the game Documents folder

check windows security/controlled folder access? if on, add exceptions for the game

neither steam nor the game installer nor the game make any changes to windows security

was able to create my first save after waking up after touching the relic. maybe you have not gotten that far?

For me the solution was in removing from OneDrive sync list Documents foled. For me it was a weird path kinda C:/users/myuser/OneDrive/Documents (something like this) but should be C:/users/myuser/Documents. disabled syncing for documents folder and it works now.
I guess (but i could be wrong) the main issue with the path to Documents folder not even in backuping itself. It should not contain /OneDrive/ as part of path. I don't even disabled OneDrive, just removed folder form sync list, it will delete all the data inside (so backup it before) and removed this folder backup from cloud (just in case)

also seems like there is other fixes look in here (i didn't try this): https://steamcommunity.com/app/1716740/discussions/0/3824173464657559824/
