Save does not work properly
I cannot overwrite savegames, although I choose "Yes" when asked. Same thing goes for autosave - it is not possible anymore since one autosave game already exists.

I've been having the same problem. When I wanted to save over a previous save, the game asked me if I wanted to overwrite it. I clicked yes and everything indicated that the save had been made.

It wasn't until I tried loading it up later that I discovered to my horror that the game had not in fact made the save, even though everything before showed it like it did and I could see the save file in the savegame folder on my computer. When I checked the save after, sure enough it showed the time of the save that I made prior to the one that didn't save, although I didn't look at this before as like I said everything pointed towards the save being made.

My autosave has stopped working too. The file is still there and I can save over it but it won't do so by itself anymore. Not sure if both of these things are related to the new patch. I also get a little spinning circle when opening up the save/load game folder which wasn't there before and it takes a lot longer in general to do so.

I also have this phenomenon with the spinning circle.
But I also discovered that you can load a game (or not load it), delete the save files you would like to overwrite (including autosave!) and create new save files. Now they can be overwritten. I think it has something to do with the version: The save file has to be created with the same version you are using now or something similar.

Since the problem with saving seems to be solved, another problem occured: In the timeline after each game there are no events like "Wonder construction" or similar. It seems, the timeline just goes from start to time X and everything after that is not shown.
Also the caption for "Wonder construction" is not in German anymore.

This still happens in the most recent version of the game, just encountered it. The solution is to open the save game folder, copy the save file you want to open and rename it. Afterwards the new file appears in the list of loadable saves and it works fine.

I had this problem recently, tried saving over old saves and nothing happened, I tried to delete and create a new save with the same name and also did not work, I tried to create a save with a totally new name and still did not work.

Disappeared alone, in this same match where the saves did not work I could save sometimes and then I return to save normally.

I had a problem similar to the one of the wonders quoted above, but the count still in progress, actually went back in time. It was in the second mission of the Campaign of Lacanas (Bulgarians) the count of the Church of patriarchs reached 21 and did not go down anymore, I stayed a long time there and did not win or reach 0, I destroyed the Green Church with the 2 relics I saved and then left, when I returned the count was in 57 again, I had already destroyed the Church and some AI event that had already happened occurred again.
