Save has become corrupted......

Not suprised since it happened after my game froze to the point that i couldn't even alt+tab/CTRL+ALT+DEL/**** sticky key. This was the 3rd time i might add where this has happened. I have never had this happen on any other game i've played and it seems i'm not the only one. I am extremely frustrated by this, it only autosaves on one file? it doesn't create multiple saves? Not to mention having to force shut down is damaging to the OS and the fact that I cannot even alt tab tells me it might be damaging my hardware as well.

That's why I save at least every fifteen minutes on a rotating saves (at least four) in any RPG.

Most RPG do saving well, but I had enough problem not to trust one with my saves.

Let's hope it was just an incident, I wish you a safe journey then on with good saves.

I never overwrite saves, always save new.  And delete older ones later on.

That sounds like a CPU overheat to me? And yes it also happened to me until I cleaned the fan. A good thing too otherwise we'd probably have a melted processor, motherboard and potential house fire.

 

Unless the system goes into shock, you should always be able to ctl-alt-del.

 

Not a bad idea to keep alt-tabbing to check your heat sensors! I'm seriously considering a liquid cooler. If your CPU starts going into the high 70s OC start worrying.

Honestly, this sounds more like an issue with your PC and it being overstrained than anything else to me. Not DA:Is fault, but your PC maybe not up to snuff. For me, it runs fine, and over 160 hours in [I never close the game, it has been running for about a week straight, mostly on pause, because I CBF closing it before going to sleep] and if anything its performance only improves with time for me.

 

Your issues sound similar to ones that happened on my laptop recently, when I tried doing things whilst it had its CPU and RAM usage maxed out at around 90%. Non responsive, very slow, several internet tabs and programs just crashed. So, yeah, I think its a 'upgrade something in your PC' issue. Get more RAM, a better CPU or a better GPU, or if they are all up to snuff [A good CPU {Not going to define this, I'd personally say something that benchmarks similar to an old i5 2500K or better though}, 8Gb RAM and a 660Ti {Nothing below the X60Ti range, preferably from one of the newer generations though}]. If you've got all that, maybe try installing better cooling, and checking all the connections in your PC.

Run on lower settings.  Also keep spamming the quicksave key.

OP - take this as a lesson on the importance of saving regularly, and not just with quicksave, but regular proper saves on different slots.

 

Every gamer seems to have to learn this the hard way. If you're smart, you'll learn it from a single bad experience, and this won't happen to you again. My sympathies if your game progress is lost.

 

I DO agree though that It would be nice if autosaves were made in maybe three or four slots and cycled, so that you'd always have a few of the latest autosaves available.

Ouch! I learned this lesson back in my Kotor days.

 

Now i have 10 saves, and i rotate on them regularly to save me from game breaking glitches (which i have NOT encountered so far in PC..)

Most of us have learned this the hard way. In this game because it is still new and has some bugs I do save pretty frequently, a mixture of quick saves and hard saves in different slots. Each night I usually zip up all my saves and throw them into the cloud as backup. Might seem a bit obsessive, but this has happened to me before and it is not fun.

A good practice is to make a hard safe at the end of a play session that way if something happens you only lost that last session. As you progress through the story you can get rid of the old saves or keep them depending on what you want to do.

I would suggest backing up the save file ever so often if you are on a PC to a backup storage unit like a flash drive. I always backup important work and any save files for my important play daily. That way if something happens (and believe me it will) you do not lose everything.
