I have also been having this problem, and I wanted to add in some of the troubleshooting I've done. I should also mention that I have the game on my D: drive while the save files, while the save games are on the C: files. I've had this issue with the v1.2 beta and the one before the most recent hotfix. After the hotfix, I had several hours of play with saves from the game where I first noticed this issue, before I started getting the error again. I also started a new game before the hotfix, and was able to play for an hour or two before starting to get save game errors again. Now, neither character can save games, no matter what method I use.
Things I've tried, inspired by other forum posts, mostly:
- made sure my OS, virus protection, game, and drivers were up-to-date
- deleting all mods and verifying game files through steam
- opened game as administrator via bannerlord.exe and talworlds.mountandblade.launcher.exe
- allowed all .exe applications in the "Mount and Blade II Bannerlord/bin/Win64_Shipping_Client" directory through firewall and virus protection (windows defender), as was suggested on a number of other forum threads
- turned off all firewall and virus protection that I could
- turned off protected folders/allowed the Bannerlord .exe files as exceptions to edit protected folders
- right clicked on all Bannerlord files on my C: (where the .sav files are) and D: (where the .exe files are), and manually allowed write access to my account, even though I'm the only account on my computer.
- Removing all but one .sav file from the folder
- trying to create a "D:/Users/{username}/Documents/Mount and Blade II Bannerlord/Game Saves/Native/" directory tree to see if i could get the game to save there (I could not)
- Changing from beta branch to stable release
Non of these worked. Thanks for your support, and I know that you'd prefer to be doing other things than troubleshooting bugs, but this is a game-breaking and very frustrating issue to have.
