One of the issues players of Hogwarts Legacy are facing is their saved files are going missing, and if they are present, they are not loading properly. In that regard, the following guide will help players in resolving the saved files missing problem.
Hogwarts Legacy: fix save files missing and not loading
The issue has been spotted in players who are playing the game on PCs as well as Xbox. Players have complained of their save files going missing sometimes, which has only increased after the most recent patch arrived.
In other cases, players have complained of saved files failing to load, which is also a major headache.
While there has been no official solution from the developers, Avalanche and several other users of the game have come up with a number of solutions.
It is important to note that some players may have to try a combination of the methods given, as there is no guarantee which solution will work for each gamer.
One of the most common fixes is verifying the integrity of the game files. Players have to enter the Steam Library and right-click on Hogwarts Legacy.
- Go to Properties
- Choose Local Files
- “Verify the integrity of game files…“
It will reinstall and update any missing or corrupted files that the game may carry. After it is finished, you will have to restart the game and see if the problem has been resolved.
Another fix that players have been talking about is trying to load the saved game files by coming out of your full-screen mode.
This means players have to come into the Windowed mode to check this solution which will enable you to check the game files that you have saved.
For players who have faced this issue on their PCs, you can open the “appdata” folder present within your system files.
You will find the Hogwarts Legacy game data which needs to be copied and pasted over into the game’s files.
Another common way is to save the game manually and then turn on autosave which can be done as you get the game started again.
Thus, these are some of the methods that players can implement in Hogwarts Legacy to solve the missing files issue. There have been complaints of players being unable to go on quests or missions which require saving.
Autosave is still working for the most part, but players have to be wary of playing the game and saving as often as possible. It is hoped that the developers will release a new patch soon which will take care of these problems.
