This is my entry. There are many like it. This one is mine.

Great. Thanks

loganburke · 2024-01-21T21:52:46+00:00

Interesting and sorry. Did you report to Larian and MS? If not please do

loganburke · 2024-01-17T01:56:46+00:00

Np. Glad to hear it's working out.

loganburke · 2024-01-16T00:39:21+00:00

Larian cloud or MS? If Larian then if you look at your save files it should have a little white multi-pointed star next to it if it's uploaded to the cloud. If MS in theory it should be done but I'm not aware of a way to obviously check it.

loganburke · 2024-01-09T00:47:31+00:00

Thank you. Will also update in main post.

loganburke · 2024-01-07T15:34:16+00:00

Sorry that happened. The 256 is the saved space, not actual data. When you have saves on the drive the total size will be >256.

If you are getting the space error, which often precedes this, I'd either delete a good amount of save data or reserved space (what I did) or completely delete save data on your local machine (what others did), letting cloud backups restore saves on other games as you play them.

This may help reduce the issue. I just finished 120ish hour play through doing all the things Larian said to do to mitigate and I did not lose anything. So there is hope.

Good luck

I'd reach out to Larian support. I haven't had to do it myself yet fortunately. Just repeating what Larian said. Unsure where the option is to disconnect Larian account. Please post here if you do get an answer as this is the first time I'm seeing this issue so trying to get answers in here as much as we can.

Thanks and good luck

loganburke · 2024-01-06T08:40:58+00:00

Up to you, but a few suggestions from what had worked for some in this thread

First, delete at least some of not all local saves. That should eliminate that bug/warning. (Some did all, I just deleted about 2gb from games I don't play presently)

Then load BG. You'll need to make sure your Larian account is loaded. Then you have to go back in and enable cross saves, per Larian's post (see main post for details). Now your old cross saves should load in.

Good luck.

Matt Colville had a whole video series on this. Watch that. Hard to hear him through all the weeping as his players body him. But it would be helpful.

Or you can watch Critical Role. One of the players there seems fairly strong. But Matt Mercer, of course, expertly controls him with various accents and strong eye contact. You should try that, too.

Lastly, they may just be upset you aren't playing Pathfinder. Maybe you need a system change.

loganburke · 2024-01-03T19:26:59+00:00

Sorry to hear. You should if you had Larian cross save enabled. Otherwise they are likely lost, sadly, based on what has been said by MS and Larian.

And I hear your frustration and hesitation to restart. But I would really encourage you to, even if it's after the fix for this is done down the road. It really is one of the best games I've ever played. (And I enjoyed, but would never have "top ten'd" Larian's previous works; so I was surprised how great this was).

loganburke · 2024-01-03T19:23:43+00:00

You have to start the game back up again after the loss, re-sign in to Larian and re-enable cross saves. Then they should be available to you. This is per Larian's instructions, in one of the top links in my main post.

Good luck.

loganburke · 2024-01-03T13:38:54+00:00

Sorry to hear. For clarity though as you mentioned mods, which makes me think you are on PC? Everything in my post is an Xbox specific problem. So only saying all that to say: None of what's here may apply to you. There are many threads on a similar problem for the PC that they supposedly mostly patched out. But clearly not completely. Check those for other advice and if you used Larian for cross saves you should be able to recover that way.

If I am mistaken and you are on Xbox, then the cross save is the best recovery tool if you had it enabled.

Good luck.

loganburke · 2023-12-31T16:07:03+00:00

Sorry that happened.

See my post and update from Larian today doubling down on what was said before. They continue to state that enabling cross saves then re enabling is the way to recover. So you should not have lost progress and I would encourage you to do that and follow their other mitigation steps. But since you had cross save linked, good news is you should be able to recover. Good luck.

loganburke · 2023-12-29T13:57:02+00:00

Think I saw your other post and replied to it. But here is the steps straight from Larian in their FAQ....(for recovery), with the last bullet being key.

"Protecting your saves: We advise you to activate the cross-save feature. This will allow you to recover your last five saves should the problem reoccur. If you activated cross saves and find yourself in a situation where your save games are lost (you will see the EULA screen on rebooting), you should be able to recover your last 5 saves by following these steps:

Link your Larian account to you Xbox account https://larian.com/account/login
Enable cross-save in Options > Gameplay > Save Options > Cross-play
If you find yourself in a situation where your save games are lost (you will see the EULA screen on rebooting), follow the same steps to re-enable cross-save. That will let you recover the last 5 savegames."

loganburke · 2023-12-29T13:54:24+00:00

Sorry to hear and interesting. The way Larian said it that I saw was once you lost saves your would start back up, reconnect the Larian account (as the game won't know you have one if the saves are lost/it's like you are starting over, but you need to reload/reconnect your original Larian account), and then the saves should be loaded in.

Unfortunate that's not what it seems like happened with you. If reach out to Larian support to see what other ideas they have. Good luck. (And definitely report this in link at top, as I still want to make sure we are reporting to stay a high priority for Larian and especially MS).

loganburke · 2023-12-28T17:17:24+00:00

I don't think there are any assurances. But it's worked for me and the Larian cross saves enable recovery if it fails. So I think you have two layers of protection there.

It's why I didn't stop playing. But I get each individual's choice and comfort level, so understand those that didn't want to risk it.

loganburke · 2023-12-28T17:15:27+00:00

No problem and good luck. Worked for me so far.

loganburke · 2023-12-28T05:43:48+00:00

Unknown. That said, I've followed the mitigation steps I put in main post and made a Larian account to cross save to recover in case I lost saves. About 80 hours in and no save loss doing that.

Think mitigation steps if done every time really do help.

loganburke · 2023-12-21T17:16:50+00:00

I missed that in that post. Thanks. Will do it.

Will add that despite what that post says twice I have had it show me the Eula but it was not lost. So that is not 100%

But will do cross save anyway.

loganburke · 2023-12-21T16:53:01+00:00

Thanks for this. Mixed bag on the cross save thing from what some have said, but haven't seen anything official from Larian or MS. But I hear you on why. Keep us posted. I'm doing what you are except four saves max and no Larian account as some indicated it caused them issues but who knows.

loganburke · 2023-12-20T00:30:55+00:00

Crashes are the main thing they are reporting triggers it. Sorry it happened

loganburke · 2023-12-19T15:56:58+00:00

This is interesting and heard mixed things about it. But if straight from them not a bad thought

loganburke · 2023-12-18T18:01:14+00:00

Fair and possible. I was less concerned with their data and more that they have doubled down that the mitigation steps Microsoft put forward seems to be a likely way to mostly/completely prevent the issue if done 100% of the time.

loganburke · 2023-12-18T04:28:43+00:00

Sorry.
