So I haven't gotten to play Battletech for a while, so when flashpoint came out it was a good reason to jump back into my unfinished campaign. Now after I launch a mission I can't save. No autosaves are made, and it just says that I need to wait for the beginning of my mechs turn or after an event and I am just sitting in orbit. I try to load a game from this point and it says saving is in progress.

I have tried uninstalling the game, I have uninstalled Galaxy, later reinstalled it since it didn't seem to help. Has anyone else ran into this issue?
Had the same problem -- was able to save once, then from there on, bringing up the menu, "save" is disabled with the same message you report.

Haven't tried debugging more (finished the mission, got back to ship, couldn't save there either, quit in frustration)
Did either of you install any mods? I'm pretty sure they all stick around during a fresh install and mess stuff up...

Just throwing it out there since your issues seem pretty non-standard.
Same here.
No Mods, no Beta.
No auto save, no manual save and not possible to save on exit.
Damn, i just got an Wolverine. He's standing there in the Bay and i can see him. But i can't save him....
Could your Antivirus Software block write access? Maybe disable for short to test and if its the problem make Battletech an exception.
Nope, it's also not a anti virus problem.
I also tried a completely fresh install with a new career

The latest version definitely has some serious problems i've never seen before (playing since day 1).
Rare crashes, approaching knocked out mechs, mechs doing nothing on firing command/using jump jets so the mission just hangs and only a game/os reboot fixes it, mechs dissapearing from bay after relocating...

It seems not to be a OS problem, it worked fine before the patch.

The new ~300Mb patch officially changes only two things, unfortunately nothing game relevant
I also have this problem. It worked for a bit, but then after one save, it will not save again. Even if I restart and bring everything back up. I can't save my game anymore. Pissed too since I finally got my first heavy and couldnn't save it. I'm tempted to just wait until the next dlc before trying to play again. *sigh*

To clarify, my save button is greyed out and says it's already in the process of saving. I also can't load anything as it says to wait until it's done saving. I also tried traveling to a new star system as that usually auto saves. No dice. I can't save my game under any circumstance now.
Hey guys... as a note I tried one last time loading up my career and just out of curiosity I deleted a bunch of the saves inside it and tried saving again. This time it worked and has worked a few times since. I don't know if that really had an effect, but it couldn't hurt to try if you're stuck on a game that won't save.
Yes, i tried that last time, it didn't help. The other time i had only a very few saves because i reinstalled and started a fresh career with an empty savegame folder

It's not a general problem - at least for me. Most of the time saving works. So if you close the game and restart it, it will work most of the time.
I think the problem is related to the fireing/jumping without action problem. Sometimes the game bugs out then and isn't ending the current turn or doesn't realize that it already ended. It stays in memory until you close the game. Changing map or loading doesn't help

I am experiencing exactly the same:

Motherboard: ROG Crosshair VII Hero.
CPU: Ryzen 7 2700X
GFX: GeForce GTX 980 Ti
SSD: Samsung NVMe 970.
I've had the same problem off and on since I bought the game. The most reliable temporary fix (doesn't always work) I've found is to:
1. Launch the game.
2. Click on the load game button
3. Delete a few of the older saves, so you have only half a scroll bar worth
4. Exit the game
5. Relaunch the game

This usually fixes the problem until you have a full scroll bar of save games or more, when you have to repeat the temporary fix.
I have the very same problem after the Flaspoint patch, like 8 times from 10 sessions.

I cant save my game (in career mode), but for me, this bug happens after or even during battles, and when i travel between star systems too!

I have tried the temporary solutions listed here, but nothing helps. It is totally random, when it works, and when it decides to go full derp mode.

I cant even quit the game properly after this bug kicks in, bec when i want to quit, the game enters and endless ,,trying to save"-loop with 0% cpu and HDD usage, and i have to murder it in Task Manager to get rid of it...

I bless my paranoia this time, bec i did not bought either season pass or the Flashpoint DLC, so at least i cant play the game for free :D
Same thing here. Repairing the install works for a little while and then it statrs again. Everytime I do the repair it downloads 300Mb. I have done a disk scan and the disk is fine... Hopefully 1.4 will fix it.
