Getting the error "Could not auto save the game. Please save the game manually" frequently.

Post by Jimmy2027 »

Hi, I'm getting this error message quite often (multiple times per game) and can then not save the game anymore:

"Could not auto save the game. Please save the game manually.save_game_failed:failed opening file: Too many open files: iostream error"

When this happens, I need to force quit the game and start from last saved gamepoint.

Does anyone have an idea why this might happen? Or which logs I could share to track the issue?
