Fallout 4 save files

I've contacted support and they tried everything to get my save files back. I'm missing about 6 hours worth and they said it might be a syncing problem.

Fallout4 save issues

I'm on my 3rd play through of this game now,. On my previous play through's I was allowed a vast amount of save files, I think the game allows 2Gb of save data?

But this play through with my console memory less than half full and only 4 or 5 Fallout 4 save files, every time it generates an auto save or I try to save I get an insufficient memory message. I have deleted all old Fallout saved files. Does the games
DLC use space for saved game data? How do I resolve this and get back the ability to have a shed load of in game saves??

 

Fallout 4 Failing to Save Files

I was asked by one of the forum people to start a new thread for this, so here goes.

Fallout 4 does not save, but instead gives an error message claiming there is no room on the drive and I should use the system file management tools to clear space. The problem is that there's 250 GB of free space on the main internal drive; clearly, space
is not the actual problem.

Both I and my son have the same issue. Sometimes, deleting some of the existing auto and exit saves, and having no more than 2 older saves for each character, would allow a new save to be created. But even that no longer works.

I've seen suggestions that unplugging the ethernet cable once the game is launched will fix the problem; it does for ONE save, then the next time the game tries to auto save it simply crashes to the XB1 desktop.

I've also seen suggestions that a proper power reset (unplugging the supply, waiting at least 15 s, and powering up again) should fix the problem; it doesn't.

Looking through a number of sites shows that this has been a recurring issue with FO4 on XB1 for at least 2 years.

Is there an actual, working, permanent fix for this, or do I and my son have to give up playing this game?

 

Disconnect your Xbox from the network so it is offline.

Load Fallout

It should default to looking at your local save files. Load the latest one and you should hopefully see your save with latest progress.

Load up that save file and then reconnect to the Internet.

Then save you game again, you might see a version difference pop-up and make sure you select the option of using your local save as the primary and the cloud should get updated with that correct save.

You may need to load up a few of the save files to find the one you want as Fallout 4 creates multiple saves.

If the save isn't available locally, it is likely your progress is lost unfortunately.

 

If you have multiple characters you may need to go to Load and press Y to see missing character saves. I'm more inclined to think Baza is correct with the syncing explanation.
