Dark Souls 2 “Failed to save game” error

dark-souls-2

I recently started encountering Failed to save game. errors while playing Dark Souls 2. What happens is it interrupts the game with a prompt saying the above message and then it exits me to the main menu. What causes this error? How can it be fixed?

If it helps, I've been playing Dark Souls 2 with GameSave Manager to cloud-sync my save files across multiple PCs, but the Failed to save game. error has not occurred in my other PC yet.

Problem solving 101. Remove any extraneous items from the mix, in this case GameSaveManager. If the problem goes away, then you know the issue lies with GameSaveManager.

If that is the case, I suggest you try using Dropbox instead. I've been using it successfully for years by symlinking my savegame directories and never encountered any issues.

Here is a link to an article that goes over it quite clearly.
