Failed to save game for unknown reasons

[Nnoouurr]

Hi, I am a Mac user who is getting the error disabling me from saving:

Error writing save game
Failed to save game for unknown reason
Are you using forbidden characters in the file name?
Do you have enough free space?

It is a modded GOT game but the files are fine and I have plenty of space, the integrity is verified, and I've closed all other apps before opening CK2. If i restart it, it only lets me save once, and crashes at the monthly autosave. This was my first HF game and I haven't had any issues before now.

Please let me know what I can do!

Regards,
ND

I have not seen this reported on Macs with the vanilla game, only PCs with 32bit Windows.

Please check with the mod team.

I've also had this problem, though I have 64bit Windows. It crashes most of the time when autosaving (and autosaves takes ages even when they doesn't crash). So basically saves are either really slow, or they just don't work at all (which is to say autosaves result in a crash, and manual saves resulting in the "failed to save game for unknown reason").

FYI, I don't play vanilla, and this happened in both my Game of Thrones and Elder Kings playthroughs recently (the later it took a few decades longer till it started happening, but it did eventually).

Not sure if that is a typo for 32 or 64 ... !

Oops, I meant 64.

Then I can only guess that this too is a mod issue. Maybe they are running out of the 4gb limit.
