Hello all , here is my problem .

Since a little times now ( 5-4 months ) when i start a new game on crusaders kings II on Iron man mod ( in facts i always play on iron man so i dont know if this problem happens also with manuel saves , never experienced ) , approximately 100 years after the beginning of my game , this message appears at my screens :

2015-10-22_00003_zpsxuo99wvz.jpg


"Error writing save game

Failed to save game for unknow reason .

Are you using forbidden characters in the file name ?
Do you have enough free space ? "
I dont know why i have this problems , its actually ruin all my games , i never changes my files names , i have tonne of free space on my computer " and apart that my game globally work without problems .

Since the first apparition of the message during my game ( in my actual game for example , i started in 1066 , and the message appeared for the first time in 1159 , 5 jully 1159 ) , if i quit without saving , and launch again the game and load my save back , its work , the auto save work properly again because my game retake from the last auto safe since the auto safe crash date . That is what i do for save my game and its work generally two or three times , sometimes less , sometimes more . the proof , at the third time , in 5 jully 1262 , in my actual game , when i quit , and try to load back my save , this time the game saved the date of the crash ( 5 jully ) , and then if i try to continue my game , this message appear at all auto safe , and then i guess the game is definitely ruined ...

That is what happens actually to me at any of my games i start . In past i had already this problem, but its was occasionally , but now it's always . Now I'm sure if i start a new game , i will get again this problem , sooner or later , i know whatever i did during the game, at end everythings will be ruined by this . Its demoralizing .

I searched on internet for find solutions , but i find nothings which was able to help me , this problem happens also to others, but visibly this problem remain uncommon .

Im out of ideas , i dont know what to do , i love this game but i cant play it anymore normally ... thanks for reading , and thanks in advance if you have any eventual solutions for me and my problem , thanks .

Informations : I have XP ( Yes ) , 4 G of Ram , i play in game with very speed mod ( always , its more practice ) , i have some dlcs which are activated during game and i'm playing with last version .

Do you think if i find a solution , ]its will only work for my future games ? , my actual game is lost ?.

Hmm...can't say.
If it indeed saved when the game crashed, then this specific file will very probably be corrupted and lost, yes.
I'm not sure if i understand fully what you wrote in your first post though.

Please do point 2 a) in the link. That helped others before.
It was posted here by the official tech support.

But what is the problem exactly ? a lack of GB of ram ?but the game say only 2GB of ram are needed .
. If i disable the dlcs , it's will work again normally you think ? .

You have a 32 bit OS, which only leaves 2GB for the game by default, no matter how much RAM you physically have.
You need to change this by what is described in the link, so that the game can use more.
Might be the basic game needs only 2 GB, but as soon as you add DLCs it will need more.

The method i linked is safe to use for you as you have 4GB RAM.
You could try disabling/unchecking DLCs and see if that works, but i don't know if it will in your case.
