Hello, firstly I must excuse for my english. I have only elementary wisdom of english.

I played Fallout4 without problems, but some time ago game need very long time for save (quicksave too) and this save i cant load. Game write save game corrupted. Old save i can load, game with new character is ok too. Please help me. I have win 10, hardware is ok for game and win defender is ofline, but maybe was run for short time some time ago.

Have you tried:

- moving/deleting previous quick-saves

- moving/deleting previous saves

- moving/deleting previous auto-saves?

The game engine can have trouble with saves if there's a lot of save files in the saves folder. Also, over time, the auto-save and quick-save function can produce corrupted saves. Previous games that used previous iterations of the game engine suffered from the same issue and it seems they don't seem to have managed to fix it for FO4.

The workaround usually is: figure out a save that isn't corrupted (or at least a save that loads properly), delete or move every other save, disable auto-save.

Thank you, but this way dont help. Do you have some other idea? Thank you for your time.

Make sure Fallout4.exe and Fallout4Launcher.exe is in your anti-malware exceptions.

Yes, nothing....

If you can upload the save in question to an online hosting site then PM me the link I can test it on my rig.

Will be perfect. Where i will sent my saves?

You can use any (free) hosting site but for ease of access https://www.mediafire.com/upgrade/ is commonly used here.

I used mediafire and send you links in message. Thank you for help.

Use Wolfpup's help - but prepare yourself to role back to a previous "good" save.

We have no way to fix corrupted saves.

There will be a tool to help clean up uninstalled mods (orphaned scripts, references, etc.) but structural damage is not repairable.

I was able to load and play the save for 5ish minutes without issue.

(Now I must go jump in a shower. Back in 20 or so.) Blast! Scratch that, seems my neighbour used up all the hot water. *whelp*

Tested, yes your save is corrupted. You will have to find the last working save and continue from there. Dont rely on autosave do your own save. Make sure there are no processes/services that take up disk activity.

I understand, but all NEW saves i cant load too.

Odd, seeing it worked perfectly fine for me.

I thing, that one save position is ok, its my last good save. But i cant save new. Again corrupt.

After loading, try to do a save or die in the game which will trigger a reload. All these will cause the game to "hang".

This got seriously more interesting, with the conflicting results from testers.

When you say you can't load new saves, did you start a new character, save, and try loading it?

Or did you find a save you could load and try resaving it? Your game may already have been toast on that one.

With new character is ok, but with old was ok for 20 hours. How much time i will have with new? And one information... I dont have some mods in game, i dont use cheats, absolutly nothing.

Yup, I was just coming back having done just that in additional testing and saw the same effect. When I try to load that save, I get the "save is corrupted" message. Load the original, works just fine again.

?And one thing... In same time, when saves [censored] me, game need for load and save very long time. Before neednt, It was very fast.

My own prediction:

Go back to a save made the day before the save you can load but not resave. You may never see this problem again.

I think something in memory went south (bad bit, whatever).

Why the different result from testers? Maybe different memory configurations. More storage might hide the error.

?

i dont uderstand, you say, that i will play some older save and??? Im sorry, english isnt my language....

There is something bad in the most recent save that you can load.

Go back to an older one.

Preferably a manual save not a quick/auto save.

P.S.

In fact, I'd disable quick/auto saves and ONLY make manual saves if you find one that works or start a new game.

Of course it helps. I think you just didn't understand correctly.

You need to:

- figure out a save that isn't corrupted,

- delete every other save, especially newer saves made after the one that isn't corrupted,

- and continue from there.

Or alternatively you need to just junk every existing save and start a new game. (Before starting a new game while troubleshooting it's always a good idea to have Steam verify the game cache.)

Advise for the future:

- like I and the people above me already said: avoid auto-save,

- don't trust quick-saves,

- manual saves are preferred,

- avoid having too many saves in the saves folder,

- keep a back-up of some saves.

Further advise:

Save corruption is a common chance occurrence with Bethesda games unfortunately. If it is persistent and you keep getting corrupted saves even after you tried junking every existing save and starting a new game, then it's no longer a chance occurrence. That would indicate a possible hardware issue, like for example: a harddrive developing one or a few bad clusters, RAM developing one or a few bad blocks.
