Hey everyone!

I seem to have a problem. I've recently upgraded from the vanilla version of skyrim (without mods or addons) to the legendary edition. I used my old saves which loaded without a problem.

However, since I've installed the legendary edition, I have been having trouble saving my games.

1. I save, however it does not show up on the "load game" list ingame. I find them in my saved game folder (documents/my games/skyrim/saves) and they all have the .ess.tmp extension at the end. When I remove the .tmp part, it seems to work properly and I can load those without a problem.
   
2. My last save before upgrading was save number 89, and now, every time I try to save, the save slots in my folder are called "save 91", which is quite confusing.

I hope the information given is enough for some Skyrim computer geek to spot the problem and/or help me out! Again, I have no third party mods installed.

Thanks in advance for any replys!

It seems that skyrim does not save the game properly. !!!

Can you check your permissions to your "My Games " save folder. Maybe you should add your permissions manualy...

I just checked, it says that the system has "full control". (using windows7, btw)

That's from another user btw.

Edit: SOLVED. Save files got corrupted somehow (normal save file is .ess, corrupted is .ess.tmp)

Solution (If someone gets the same problem):

1. Load your game, that is corrupted.
2. Load that game again.
3. Save with a "save " command. (now you can save).
4. Delete all corrupted saves + all , that you really don't need( too much saves will corrupt the folder).
5. Use command "pcb" in a non-Skyrim room (like a custom house or the developers place(cocsmoke i think).
6. Exit that room to skyrim.
7. Save game, exit game, reload game.

This fixed it for me.

Your really best to not load an Autosave into a updated version of these games. Best to use a manual slot. Also, fork the save you load, that way you have an original to go back to. Then save and reload that forked save and move on.
