Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Beta Copy to levelcache failed?

Started getting a new error today.

So now I am unable to save a game or load a game.

I get the message Save Game Failed (copy to levelcache failed) error now for either a quicksave or a regular save.

Did you have any errors loading saves in the previous version?

Yes. All saves would crash me to desktop. So I uninstalled the game totally today after the patch. Started a new game played for a few minutes and saved. Both regular and quicksave fail. However the save file seems to show up. But still get the error if I try to load them. Previous saves that I readded to the save folder wont load either.

***Just sent in a new bug report via game client.

I have the same error message and issue.

Hopefully that will get fixed soon. From the topic Alpha update 1.0.93;

Do you guys need any system info or anything else from those of us with the issue to try and solve this?

I am experiencing the exact same issue. I also just sent in a bug report. Let me know if I can assist in any other way.

The fact that this copy fails is the reason why some save games don't work anymore - we're trying to understand why so please do send your specs via the debug tool. It'll help us find it faster because so far we didn't manage to reproduce the issue.

if you have this, please use our support tool to send us a report.zip at supportdos@larian.com

Firstly i want to thank larian for making this great game, as a older player of the old devine divinity games, i love to see where this new game is leading to, and its very!! promising indeed

About the issue with the save/load game failing:

W: Removable Disk

Operating system windows 7 64 bits sp1

Steam is installed on drive E
games are installed also on drive E
so not on the C drive

installed divinity-original sin via steam on the E drive

running the game normally with default settings and used a party with 2 mages

in the start area where you appear first, i do a save and a quick save
the window with cannot make save to levelcache appears, but the save is made, i checked it in the save folder, although in the levelcache folder nothing is written, its empty.

when i try to load or quickload game, the game crashes right away.

Now for the strange part , or not so strange part

i took my 2 persons party into the game further on, i went to the orcs, and then to the dark cove

Inside dark cove i can save and quicksave the game, its still showing the cannot make save to level cache error, but the game saves, WHEN i load or quickload the game at that point the game DOESN'T crash, the same happens for me when i enter homestead and save there, this also doesn't crash the game.

Not sure if all this is helpfull for you guys, but i wanted to mention it anyway.

Getting the same error and I've sent my report.zip file to Larian.

A quick question. Is anyone getting the error using Microsoft's Skydrive? I've noticed that sometimes Skydrive takes over my physical documents folder and tries to save files to the cloud based documents folder.

We've found the cause of this issue and should have a fix up very soon. Thanks for the reports and detailed information!

Absolutely fantastic

That's good. In that case, I won't send in my report.zip (admittedly, in part because I couldn't attach a 12 MB file).


Hey, as I'm typing this an update is downloading!


EDIT: It worked. I can now properly load both normal and quicksaves! Thanks, Larian!

Well the last fix did not work for me... I still have the "copy to levelcache failed" message and when a save does exist it just crash on loading.

At least it worked for some people.

Yesterday with the before-last-patch at the time of writing, I had the levelcache message exactly once. Wasn't able to reproduce later.

If I recall correctly, what I did was:
1. delete all savegames I had (not really playing the story for now, so I can do that )
2. try to save
3. get warning
4. retry saving
5. game freezes, music keeps playing (wasn't able to reproduce)
6. kill the process via task manager
7. restart the game
8. saving games worked for the rest of the evening

Start new game.

Won't work with old one I think

I deleted all saves, deleted even the whole larian studio folder in my documents.

I even checked the game contents via steam (validating...) and started a new game, still the error and same issue: I cannot save.

not sure what is happening but my game wont update to 1.0.95 (according to steam itself 1.0.95 is latest patch), it stays on 1.0.93, deleted whole game and downloading again maybe that helps

lol when my downloaded finished 5 seconds later the 1.0.95 patch downloaded

in any case i am happy camper because savegame loadgame works now and also in the start area

kuddos to larian and all the guys that helped fixing this bug

Steam installed the 95 Patch, i start a new game but
Copy to levelcache failed

Report sent.
