Hi, I've just purchased Eschalon II and I can't save my game except in the autosave slot. It was the same way with the first game as well. It's really really annoying. Please help.

Check out these two threads - here and here. (Yes, I know they're for Book I, but I think they are pretty much the same issue you're seeing.)

Anyway, it's likely some kind of permissions issue.

Not a permission issue.

The funny thing is, the game says it has a problem deleting a dir (DELDIR), but the dir is actually getting deleted. After that error, the original save folder is gone and no new folder takes it's place there. It looks more like some logic flaw in the save game code, maybe interpreting some return value from Window's deldir function incorrectly.
