Since the last patch the game is unplayable for me in Singleplayer since the message «failed to bak up save file» appears every few month and pauses the game for me. It also appears when manually saving the game! This
Here’s exactly what the message says «Backing up save file failed when renaming save games/x.eu4 to save games/x_backup.eu4. You may want to try removing one or both of these files from the save folder.»

When removing the save file i simply can’t save the game anymore…

I bet the solution is simple but im too retarded to undestand what to do. Any help is apreciated!!

This is a current bug that the developers are working on. You can see it discussed here:

https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/1-19-1-save-error.984462/

Basically, it used to happen under 1.18.x with no warning, and users could lose years of gameplay without realising. Until the root cause can be found and fixed, the developers have implemented that message, so you only lose at most one save’s worth of play time.

Try clearing out any autosaves left in the documents/paradox/eu4/save games/ folder.

And if you are saving locally, try setting the game to autosave to the Cloud instead.

Very sorry about that! I’m sure the developers will fix the problem as soon as possible.

Any news on that?

I dont know if this might help, But I bought a new ssd for my PC. Then I installed eu4 again on the ssd, while the older hd still had another eu4.
Since then Im getting this save error.

I already deleted the eu4 on the old hd. Deleted the documents and all save files. Reinstalled eu4 again on the new ssd. Deleted all save files there too.
Tried to save it to the cloud. Tried to compress the autosaves.. I tried everything, but nothing works…

I hope you find a fix for this soon, because the game is unplayable now for me..

Any such news would be in the Bug Report threads on the topic.

That said, most people find saving to the cloud helps. If it does not for you, perhaps you have a different problem.

Also I don’t get a handy message saying that the save failed. Everything appears to be running normally. Even when I hard save, I immediately check to see if it’s in the load menu, it then disappears.

That’s probably 0kb save issue

There is a working fix for the «Failed to backup save file» Ironman bug

I’ve seen lots of people here complaining about this bug, and rightly so. There is a very simple fix.

• CLOSE THE GAME. Yes, you will lose all progress since the most recent successful save, there is no way around that.

• Locate the save file.

Windows [Drive name]:Users[User Name]DocumentsParadox InteractiveEuropa Universalis IVsave games

Mac ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/userdata/<YOUR STEAM ID>/236850/remote/save games

Linux ~/.local/share/Paradox Interactive/Europa Universalis IV/save games/

• Any given Ironman game has two save files, one of them called UlmWC.eu4 and the other one UlmWC_backup.eu4. When encountering this bug UlmWc.eu4 will contain 0 kB of data (Sometimes this doesn’t happen immediately even if the game claims that — wait for the second save failure to happen in that case). Delete this file. Rename UlmWC_backup.eu4 to UlmWC.eu4

• Keep playing the game.

The most important part to remember is to CLOSE THE GAME before you do anything with the files. You will lose ironman if you don’t.

This page is intended to assist with editing the EU4 Save File. Before editing save files, it is highly recommended that you create a copy of the files in question. Simple mistakes made while editing can make a save file unplayable. Editing ironman saves directly would require advanced knowledge of the binary format which is used by them, but tools exists which can be used to turn ironman saves into non-ironman saves which then can be edited like this article describes.

File locations[edit | edit source]

• Mac: ~/Documents/Paradox Interactive/Europa Universalis IV/save games/
• Linux: ~/.local/share/Paradox Interactive/Europa Universalis IV/save games/
• Windows: C:Users%username%DocumentsParadox InteractiveEuropa Universalis IVsave games

Save files will be compressed (ZIP format) unless you uncheck the box when saving. Autosaves and quick saves are not compressed. The encoding of the save file is Windows-1252.

Editing Save[edit | edit source]

Any element in the game can be edited very easily. Any aspect of a country including stats and prestige can be changed. You can open save files in Notepad, but they will take several minutes to load. A more advanced text editor such as Notepad++ is therefore recommended. If the file contains illegible characters, change the extension from .eu4 to .zip, and use a compression program to unzip it.

The section below, Save File Contents, can help you identify if you are in the right spot.

Once you find the element you are looking for, you can edit any of their features. Numerical values such as prestige, diplomacy.
