Steam [resolved] Tsw6 No Longer Saves Anything

Hi, I just noticed that nothing is saving since the last update. I can't save in-game, my points increase after a match but revert to their original value upon restarting, and scenarios I've already played aren't marked as completed with the corresponding medal. I haven't changed any of my settings.

Regards, Torsten

 

Has a windows update perhaps screwed with your folders in a way that shifted the save folder to some kind of cloud synched storage? I seem to recall that messing the game up for people in this way previously.

 

I've had this after the last few updates, my solution:
1. Turn off game saving in the settings
2. Shut down and Re-start TSW6
3. Turn on game saving in settings - this should reset the game to save correctly (probably until the next update anyway!)

 

If OP's profile is not saving any progress, then it's likely they will also be unable to change any settings as this implies the folder has become read-only.

 

Check your Documents\My Games\TrainSimWorld6\Saved\SaveGames folder to see if there is any issues with the folder or files. If you use OneDrive on this folder, please set the entire TrainSimWorld6 folder to "Always keep in device".

 

The problem is solved. In the Windows settings, under Virus & threat protection > Ransomware protection, simply set the appropriate permissions, and saving works again. The latest Windows update must have changed something there.
