Error writing savegame

[BalefulEidolon]

Searched the whole internet for solutions for this one and so far nothing has worked.

I'm playing CK2 3.0.1 with the latest GoT mod(since it is incompatible with 3.0.1.1), but don't think this is an issue specific to the mod itself. Happens about 120 years into the game, after a certain point I can no longer save, happens after I call the Lord Paramount of the Reach for trial, and after it is over I can't save no matter how many times I reload the save.

My specs are:
Ryzen 1500X @ 3.9Ghz
16GB DDR4 Dual Channel @ 3066Mhz
RTX 2070 8GB
Windows 10 64-bit

So I don't think either OS nor hardware is an issue in this particular situation, I even started playing with everything in the background closed. I ocassionally encounter crashes during autosaves aswell, but if I remove autosave and save manually it doesn't happen, but apparently I can no longer save manually.

I also use local saves not cloud, tried both compressed and uncompressed same issue, it's not a filename issue, i tried naming it TEST several times which has worked before. I also have about 10GB free on the disk drive my savegame files reside. I read about all reddit threads, couple of threads on this forum and on Steam.

P.S. got past that point after about 10 reloads, and about a year later same thing happens.

Seems pretty clearly a mod issue.

1) "All submods, apart from Century of Blood, have been updated for version 1.8"...., so if you use CoB, then better don't, i suppose.

2) Could be because of the bloated save file issue for AGOT.
Try the file in the currently last post of the linked thread in this post here :

3) An alternative to 2) and another post in that forum dealing with the bug

I've also had this bug; I found that if i exitted to desktop and then reloaded my most recent save, I could get one more save through before the Error message blocked further saves.

Doing this and uncompressing my new save, I was able to use the "Replace with" function (leaving the "Replace with..." input blank) in Notepad to remove the "defunct=xxxx.x.x" and undo the bug

I've been able to continue my game, saving has returned to only taking 1 or 2 seconds to complete, and no error messages obviously.

Not a perfect solution, obviously, but it removes the "gamebreaker" from this bug

Why is that?

Well apparently the mod doesn't work with 3.0.1.1 or at least it didn't for me. Crashed during loading. Gonna try what Aardvark suggested I guess.

P.S. Okay I just noticed that some of my saves were indeed bloated(450mb) and maybe that one is the issue that prevents me from saving after a certain point.
