"Save failed due to insufficient space..." [DA:I PC version]
Is anyone else getting the "Save failed due to insufficient space. Please overwrite or delete an existing save" error during autosaving, manual saving, or even just after changing a setting in the options menu?
Because of this, I can't start the game -- I'd be wasting my time having to redo everything all over again, since I can't save.
Running the PC version of the game, by the way.
Never mind, I was actually able to fix this on my own. My problem was extremely unique and may not apply to any of you.
When I staged my gaming system it had originally set my secondary drive to E. I wanted it set to D. So when I set my secondary drive to D within Management Console my origin redirected files were still set to E... Technically.
Since E was in fact my DVD drive now, it would give the 'Save failed due to insufficient space'
So here's what I did just to make sure my redirected folders were actually on D where they were supposed to be and not E.
I went into my PC registry:
- Click Start
- Type: regedt32
- Click the program regedt32.exe to run the Registry Editor
- In the left pane, navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
You should see the folder paths for Documents, Music, Pictures.. etc.
Mine were still set to the E drive. I just needed to modify them to point to D instead.
Once I did that everything was fine.
My issue was truly a stupid user error, and no real fault of EA. However, if any of you staged a system and changed the secondary drive location AFTER the PC was done, this problem could relate to you as well. Though most likely not.
