Since 2 Days Witcher 3 doesn't save anymore at all !

I dont't know what happened. I played the Quest in which you have to help Albert wih Triss to Escape off the Party.
The Game now alwys starts after the brawl with the 3 thugs and the Quest ist finished. I get another Character Point and can play but not saving anymore.

I checked the Savegames Folder and all Files are 2 days old. The Folder isn't write protected neither hidden oder sthg else.
I can't save manually, automatically (after travelling over a checkpoint or after acomplishing a quest) nor per quicksave.
There is no flashing Icon that normally indicates that a game is beeing saved.

Please Help. I want to play it to the end and I can't do it (or so I think) without saving. Els I die or the PC crashes after 2 days...

All of a sudden this is happening to a lot of people,so it's got to be a bug that will
need fixing.

I saw this Post and replied my issue there.
I can't tell if this is happening to more than 2 people.
Any Idea of a Workaround ?

Is it possible that your antivirus (if any) is preventing from saving. Try turning it off while you play.

Thx for answering, butI turn it off every time before gaming.
I started a new Game to test if my last savegame is corrupt, but it's the same.
I renamed the original Save-Folder "The Witcher 3" and the Game created a new one. Input.ini and user.ini
were created also "gamesaves", but the latter is empty nonetheless howoften I press F5 oder save manually.
And I get a strange Message (look Pic) :
Attachments:
Yeah i don't know what that says, but it does give me an idea. Try changing the game language to English, maybe it's a localization bug.
Maybe even try changing windows localization temporarily.

Sorry, I forgot that not everybody understands german....
I play the german Version and it says that savegames made with this Version are not compatible with older Versions.

This was after deleting/renaming the Witcher 3 Save Folder, thus there are no savegames.
This happens when I try to save a game, when there is no other savegame.
With my normal Wither3-Save-Folder this message don't popup.
ALL FIXED !!

I don't know what it WAS, but now I can save again.
Yeehaa...one can't tell how sad one can get, when the beloved Game doesn't work....and I'm not a kid anymore ;=)

It seems to have sthg to do with Standby (S2,3), as I didn' turn my PC off for a few days but rather used "Energy sparen" (Save Energy aka S2,3). Why this is ? Dont know.
I thought, that I have to start my PC again and had Little hope, but i worked out.
LOL.
I didn't want to wake sleeping Dogs, sorry.

So,because you left PC in standby you couldn't save?
That sounds unbelievable.

Seems quite believable to me. All sorts of weird things start to go wrong with a computer that hasn't been rebooted in a long time.
