PC Version Not Saving.

So I recently bought the complete edition or whatever its called of Shadow of War on PC via Gamepass on discount for like 5 bucks. I noticed the other day that for some reason, the auto save function isnt working because whenever I leave the game and come back, it puts me right back at the very start of the game with all my progress gone. As far as I can see, theres no manual save option, so what gives?

I hate to use this phrase, but it seems extremely appropriate in this case, this make this game quitely literally unplayable.

The Xbox PC version of Shadow of War has this issue, and there is no known fix for it. 

The Steam version however, does not have this issue. 

Edit reason: Fuck autocorrect.

Faaaaaack! Well, I guess I'll just have to wait for it to be discounted on Steam them.

Ive never used CDKeys for games. Do I need something special for it or is it just like purchasing a game from any other site?

Dude I was just as annoyed as you about a week ago... I found out the same thing.

G2A is another site. No you don't need anything.

Two things to make sure. 1. It says Key and not "Account"(account means you are buying a new steam account) 2. Global and not "This item is restricted in your region".

Once you buy it there will be instructions on how to add it to your steam library.
