Ouch. Are your save files showing up at My Document > STAR OCEAN THE DIVINE FORCE > Steam > 76561197989681011?

Not sure what you would do even if they are showing up there though. Hopefully someone else here would know what to do...

Definitely not showing up there.

Only thing I could think of is the game is operating same way FF VII remake is working. Which you have to go into windows security and add some rules to allow it bypass firewall. But havent seen anything involving the exe file.

I even did an integrity check, lead to nothing.

Do you guys have special (non-english characters) in your user name or the path to the save folder? That can cause issues sometimes.

No, I have two drives. I placed it in my secondary steamapp drive. Basically uninstalling and it placing it in my standard default to see if it takes it. Strange enough, I got 1.1 TB of space in my HD and 500 GB in SSD.

Went searching for a save folder, nothing. Does not exist for some reason. Went digging around my docs.

Edit: Found the location but nothing in the folder, just has an autocloud file.

If you have OneDrive installed, then the folder will be:
Users\{yourname}\OneDrive\Documents\My Games\STAR OCEAN THE DIVINE FORCE\Steam\{Randomnumber}

Maybe a permission issue? Have you tried running as admin?

Thanks Jaimi, I did that. But I figured out what was going on. Turns out had to put it on exclusions list on Windows Security and specifically put Star Ocean Folders in My documents and exe location. Now seems to save.

If you are using windows, be sure to put Star Ocean Divine Force folder on exclusion folder along with my documents folder via Windows Security. Similiar to how FF VII Remake had this issue.

Holy Sh*** this game is glitchy. So apparently, that part did not work. I just tried to save the game and it reverts back to my first save. I mean first save I did as a test. so My level 8 character is level 1. Gotta love games that are deemed virus threat, I am gonna guess Denouvo sh**

Yup I lost 3 hours of my life, mines gone too.
