Greetings together!

First I´d like to say, that I love what you´ve done.
In every Game from Larian Studios that I´ve played (Divine Divinity, Divinity 2: Ego Draconis, Dragon Commander and now Original Sin) I could feel the love of the developers to the franchise. Not like most other games, which are only made fast to get money, these games of you have souls. Thank you for that!

So, after i had played Original Sin on the PC for some hours I bought the Enhanced Edition for Xbox One, which I now play since late January 2016.

So far I had only two minor bugs.
The Twin Caves didnt accept/interact with the amulets and the secret teller offered no skill books.
Sad, but I can live which that.

Now I´ve a gotten a far bigger problem. Sometimes when I want to load (Quicksave or standard save), there either happens nothing. I can play along or save, but I´m not able to load. The other version is, that I can load a savegame, but the game becomes a blackscreen an I only hear sounds of it, but it freezes completely in every other aspect.

The only thing I can do then is to restart the xbox and play on, because then I can load savegames again.

I´m a very patient game, so this alone would´nt even be a big problem for me. (Besides the costs of energy for turning on and off the console tough -_-)

Along with these problems comes, that when I´m able to load savegames again, there are not shown all of the savegames I created.

So, what I´ve done the last days was to save often as I do normaly too. Want to load. Games crashes. Restart the system and hope, that the last savegame which was kept "alive" wasn´t too far back in time. Sometimes it keeps the savegame from 5 minutes, sometimes I´ve to to 30 Minutes again, which is very annoying. Its a game of luck, it seems...

I even saved games and opened the load menu, to see if thees savegames where accesable. Allright. Shiny. All was there. Game crashed. I thought: OK, these save games were there the last time i watched the load menu. But then, after the restart, even these savegame files were disappeared.

So, im at about 90 hours of playtime, when the bug first occured I was about 80 hours.

I can´t say at which time it first occured ingame, because it semed sometimes that I´ve to do ingame process again, but then I thought, that I hadn´t done it.

The first time I really realisied that I had to load a older savegame was in luculla forest at the fight in the goblin village. (Done there anything but that and the two temple/cathedral missions Closing the Rift and Inflitrating).

So, I´m keen on to know how the story goes on, but under these circumstances, its a horror to play on...

I´ve read that on the PS4 some games hat similar problems (but I´ve never got a ingame notification about an error). There it was solved with a patch, when I got everything correct.

My question now ist, are the problems I have known with the xbox One? Is there a patch in work, solving these issues, too? Or have I to play on like this. (And please don´t say, that I´ve to paly the game again from the start...)

Thanks for reading this and please excuse bad bad english ^^

There is another patch in the works, but I don't know if this is a known issue.

Do you have cloud saves enabled? Unfortunately there is no manual control over backing up and restoring saves, and there is no way to manually back up saves. You can try switching it opposite of the current setting, and see if that makes a difference.

Hi Raze!

Thx for the quick response!

Glad to hear about the patch.

Nearby the savegames is a cloud symbol, but I never used a cloud before.
I cant choose where the game saves in the game menus. Whether in midgame nor at the Launch Screen. I have an internal and an external harddrive.
As for the harddrive lists, the savegames are saved on my external harddrive and not on a cloud...

The Problems occured shortly after I went to the start screen of my xbox and launched accidentaly another game instead of shutting the game down in menu as i always done before. Maybe this could be the reason of the problem?

Cloud saving is automatic on the Xbox if you are logged in to Xbox Live... I don't know if you can turn it off, actually, short of not logging in to Xbox Live.

If the Xbox would let you start a different game without shutting down D:OS, then I don't think that should cause a problem, especially if you were exiting out of the game anyway.

I wasn´t able to turn it off and even worse my game is totally crashed by now.

The Game deleted an huge amount of two days of playing!!!

Thats harsh but I wanted to start over these two days agein, because I really love this game and want to play it torugh.

But now I can´t save anymore!
The game says, that the saves were made succesfull, but when I want to load the new sacegames, the Game crashes.

Really frustating...

That is with a new game that the saves are crashing when you try loading them? It's too bad there is no way to get saves off an Xbox One.

Is there another profile you can try starting the game from, and see if that makes a difference?
