Save error
« on: September 07, 2022, 04:41:10 PM »
Wanted to see if anyone else has not been able to save their game? Both, my sister and myself are having this same issue.  We have played vanilla games, doesn't throw the error for a while and then it starts again.  We are not quite sure what to do now.
Is it true that cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny?

I sometimes get stuck when I save and exit, but I haven't had any trouble saving.  The game just gets stuck and won't close until I force it shut with the task manager.  However, even when that happens, it does save the game properly.

It hasn't happened to me lately.
But when I have trouble saving, I click the X at the top right of the screen, which gives me the options to "Save and Exit," "Exit," or "Cancel."

I tried searching on this issue. Since there aren't any error messages or numbers, I wasn't getting very many results.

I do want to share some troubleshooting tips that might help.

I did find out that it is an EA error.  There is a long line of numbers and letters behind the code.  I guess they are aware of the issue and of course, who knows how long it will take.  Thank you.

With the new patch addressing this issue, are you able to save again?
