Hello!

I've installed the Big World mega mod pack. Everything went well, but when I enter a new area ingame, after a while I get the "You cannot save at this time." message when I want to save. It happens on all the areas. Sometimes -if I keep pressing the Q button- it will save the game (before and after the save the game still tells me that i cannot save at this time). The autosave still works, when I leave, and after loading that autosave, I can save again for a few minutes.

I'm new here on this forum. I looked around, but couldn't find a thread with the same topic, but if I somehow made a mistake and there is one, could someone redirect me there?:)

Thanks in advance!

Could have something to do with my mod, in that case you can solve it by ctrl-R ing all members of the party.
Unfortunately, I still have to change one or two things, after the new developments of TobEX

Thanks for the advice, unfortunately it didn't help:( I pressed ctrl-R when the whole party was selected and on every single party member, but the game still told me that I cannot save. If I did it wrong then feel free to correct me.

Have you unpaused the game and waited a few seconds afterwards? Anyway, if it still doesn't work, it's not my mod.
My mod actually casts some spells on all players, but they all disappear with ctrl+R. If the bug remains, it should not be my spells' fault

Yeah, I unpaused and waited. So its probably not your mod then.

Try a few times, I think it is just when you catch it. I too am have the problem. Or go into a smaller area (that works for me).

I've tried it several times, but it didn't work.
I usually get this bug after a fight or a dialogue.

If it is the same bug I have I might have to try 6 or 8 times move bit and try again a few times.

Yeah, sometimes when I move my party around and keep the Q key pressed, then it lets me quicksave for a moment(without having to ctrl-R the party). But sometimes I don't even have to move them, spamming the quicksave is enough.

Edit:
But most of the time I cannot save at all, and have to force autosave by leaving the area. So I'm still waiting for suggestions.

I got the same problem. It takes a while before the QuickSave works during periods when it should.

Currently, I can live with it, but I still hope other solutions will come up.

Turn off PARTY AI - You can save, but sometime you must Turn On this. STRANGE but it works. :D

Doesn't work sadly. Can't save either in BG1 nor BG2. Switching AI on or off doesen't make a difference. Ctrl + R doesn't seem to do anything either.

When you can't save, you can rest or also no? In my game when I can't save I also can't rest.

Same here. Can't rest, can't save. Begins right after looting the chest outside Irenicus' prison before I even released Jaheira/Minsc.

Same in BG1 too, just pick up the item from the haystack or something similar and the game won't let me save/rest.


Help! :)

Negative. No colored bag in my inventory.

I installed the Big World Project three times now. On the first I had said bag, but since I don't have it on my third installation anymore with equal results I doubt it had anything to do with it.

I also tried killing Branwen in her cage, no change. After killing them all (Jaheira, Minsc, making Imoen run away) I sometimes become able to save.

I have coloured containers, but I still get the "you cannot save at this time" message after dropping them.

I got 6 of 'em (9 containers in all).

4th installation, same result. Everytime with different mod-compilations.

I'm done wasting my time with this. As appealing as a complete Baldur's Gate saga sounds, it's unplayable without saving or resting.
