Cannot save game, temp file remains?

Post » Sun Jan 29, 2017 8:32 pm

Hi guys the title pretty much sums it up, When i get past all the intro dialogue, the game refuses to save. I've already posted this on the Nexus forums.



A message pops up saying, "Unable to complete operation due to failure removing previous file. Temp file remains. Continue running executable? yes or no



The only mod/overhaul i have installed is MGSO that is it, I did not check box any mod patches I did not need, nor did i select any additional content or mods.



The game runs great at about 55 fps on the very fast computer setting with all the red details checked so i guess that's good Below i will list things I've tried.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1. Tried clearing steams temp folder


2. Selected properties of morrowind and had it set to launch as administrator ALWAYS


3. Reinstalled the game, deleted the steam directory 3 times.


4. Verified steam missing files


5. Cleaned registry, temp windows files, ran malware and virus scan


6. Disabled steam overlay


7. Disabled steam cloud saves


8. Created a save folder in the morrowind directory because there was not one, this also didn't work, Thought it would.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I did not try the below description because I did not want to mess up my installation, needs to be verified.



1. Running program in windows xp compatibility (was worried it might mess up the MGSO somehow)


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Now I need to include this... I did have a orc save about 2 years back from steam and at that time the cloud was actively backing my save, This save has no longer appeared during this installation.. not sure if this matters. Which I could care less because I want to start fresh.



Thanks a crap ton guys! I really want to dump hours into this game, I miss the "not holding your hand D&D aspect of it REALLY BAD haha.

*FIXED* Apparently I had to recreate the save folder again this time into the main directory and that seems to have fixed it, I just had a hunch because the game itself can not save somewhere if it does not have a path.
