I think your problem is similar to what happened to me and @Geoffers747 helped me out. When I tried to save nothing would appear, and I couldnt load any save (because there were none!) so I had to delete all the files in the “saved games” folder (you will lose every save, it’s a pitty) and then you will be able to save again, you don’t need to uninstall the whole game.
Edit: Wasn’t @EpicDwarf who helped me out, it was @Geoffers747, sorry lord.
