Insufficient space for new save (normal and auto). Can't start other characters.

Product: Mass Effect Andromeda
Platform:Microsoft XBOX One
What edition do you have? Deluxe Edition
Physical Disc or Digital version? Digital Based Install
Summarize your bug Ran into the save game issue--Insufficient Space--due to too many saves. Deleted all but 10 saves on primary character. Autosaves still throw an error of Insufficient Space. Started a new character and cannot autosave or save new games. Grand total save game total between all characters--including autosaves--13. The only option for saving is to overwrite an existing save on my first character. As I don't have an existing save on the new character, I'm unable to do this method or proceed past the Nexus.

    Can you fully power off your console by pressing and holding the power button. Check the situation when you power it back on and let us know your results here, thanks.

  • Did you delete save in game ? I have the same issue and when I delete save while in game, I can't replace the deleted save unless I quit to main menu and reload the game. In total, the max save I can have is 205 including autosave, mission save and chapter save. While talking about autosave, I tought 9 was the max but I can have up to 10. Is that normal ?

    All righty... that worked.

    I'm loathe to mark it as "solved" though since this is a repeating issue.  I semi-regularly move my Xbox from one TV to another and that requires disconnecting power.

    Is there a projected time for the actual fix on this?  Perhaps something that doesn't require restarting my Xbox to use a save slot?

    Mine was persistent beyond going back to the main menu, but otherwise similar.  

  • I'm sorry for you. I tried really hard to figure that bug out. It's game breaker for me and it is sad because I absolutely adore this game.  Seems like I got lucky. 205 save is still a lot considering we only had 30 per career in ME3. Just have to delete some more now

  • I'm having this problem in Mass Effect Andromeda now, started happening right around the time I hit level 50 in the game. I'm playing off a game disc on an Xbox Series X.

    I am playing away and suddenly everything stops and I get a black "Insufficient space - need at least 30MiB to save" (maybe not exact wording, but you get the idea) error screen. When I look in the Game menu at saved games, it looks as if AutoSave is now triggering itself every 60 seconds or so, so I'm guessing the space is filling up quickly. I don't recall autosave triggering that often before? I get the error on manual saves as well, unless I've just cleared out saved games. I have restarted, and also turned the console off and then on again, but the issue persists. This has been happening for a few days in a row. 

    As I play, I do go in and clear out as many saves as I can, and then I can usually - but not always - keep playing, and/or manually save my game. But after a while the autosaves fill up the saved game bin again, and I have to manually clear out save files again.

    It is a real immersion killer, and is starting to ruin my enjoyment of what is otherwise a thoroughly enjoyable game (I love ME Andromeda!)

    I also got a saving bug right after completing Drack's loyalty mission, not too long before this new issue started. I went to manually save, the screen went black and the red and white saving icon on the lower right of the screen just twirled there for several minutes. After a while I could hear the game, and pressing buttons on the controller seemed to trigger the appropriate actions, based on the audio (moving, jumping, etc> but the screen stayed black and I couldn't play. I had to restart and then turn the console on and off a couple times to get my game back, otherwise it would just load back into the black screen. I am not wondering if this might have caused, or signaled, the saving issue?

  • This is on the older side of time, I'm closing this thread to stop it from being necroed.

    If you have any issues with Mass Effect, please make a new topic about your problems and what kind of steps you have tried to solve them.
