Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - Enhanced Edition Xbox One saves keep corrupting

I can't even get out of Cyseal without my saves becoming corrupted. I rely on quicksaves with full saves whenever I quit playing, and they all keep getting corrupted before I leave Cyseal. This has happened multiple times and is getting really irritating because I keep having to start over.

Please fix.

By corrupt do you mean crash on load, or are you getting any error messages?

When this happens it effects even older saves, that had previously worked fine?

You can increase the number of quick and auto saves kept in the Game section of the options, though it doesn't sound like the frequency saves get overwritten is a factor in this, if named save are also corrupted.

Have you been playing other games that write a lot of save data? A hard drive or memory problem with the Xbox could cause this, but in that case it should effect any game.


If you still have any saves from the last time this happened, please email supportdos@larian.com, with a description of the problem (or link to this topic) and a couple of the saves (or a Dropbox or Google drive link, etc).
You would need to transfer them to a USB flash drive first, and a third party tool is required to read drives formatted for Xbox One on a PC (see here).

Thanks for the reply, I didn't know I could increase the amount of saves I have. That should help.

I'm also now experiencing a problem where the game freezes and crashes when I try to save the game.........

If you create a new profile in-game (assuming you can do that with the Xbox version; in the main menu, it is the Y button for that on PC using an Xbox controller) and start a new game, does saving then also freeze or crash?

It doesn't. It's very strange. It's like there's a point in my game where it causes every save I make after that to be corrupt, but I can never identify what it is. And if I save while I'm on a corrupt path or whatever, sometimes it freezes and crashes the game.

If I start a new game or whatever, it's fine, but it gets to a certain point and it just starts corrupting itself...

If something becomes corrupt that can carry into subsequent saves. That is pretty rare, though, and especially shouldn't be happening repeatedly.

I know it isn't overly helpful to the original poster, however I have played through this game many times on the X1 and never had any issues with corrupted saves or crashing, so it would seem a particular issue and not an X1 issue.
