Hi! I spent 52 hours in my only save in HoI4. I'm playing in Ironman mode and as Germany. Yesterday I wanted to exit the game as always, as there are no manual saves. As I loaded the game today I was about half a year before than I exited the game. I wanted to check if the game saves, so I played for 1 month and exited it again but the game didn't save. Anyone has a solution?

Any special character in your savegame name (é, à, %, & etc.) ?

If it is the case, avoid using such characters as it prevent proper saving in some circumstances (e.g. I had a savegame in game as Soviet Union in HoI3, but since I play in French, the game tried to save it as Union_soviétique, hence using a special character and failed to save any game)

I play in Polish but the save name is "Ironman Rzesza Niemiecka 1_temp_temp_temp_temp_temp_temp_temp_temp_temp_temp_temp_temp_temp_temp_temp_temp_temp_temp_temp_temp_temp_temp_temp_temp_temp_temp_temp_temp_temp_temp"

I think there shouldn't be so many temps.

try to shorten the savegame name... maybe you are exceeding 256 characters max length (including the folder path)... so try "Ironman Rzesza Niemiecka_1a"

@Purqke before closing this thread can you confirm that when you save now you don't have anymore any "_temp" added? Because that kind of save file name is not WAD at all..
