1. Allow Titanfall 2 through the Firewall
Time needed: 4 minutes
Windows Firewall is a great security feature that protects you from various threats that your PC is constantly exposed to from multiple sources. However, if it recognizes the game as a threat, it will prevent it from saving files, so we recommend you add Titanfall 2 as an exception.
- Click on the Windows icon, type Windows Defender Firewall, and open it.
- Click on Allow an app or feature through Windows Defender Firewall.
- Click on the Change Settings and then Allow another app button.
- Select the Browse option and navigate to the Titanfall 2 installation folder.
- Click on the Titanfall 2 executable file and then hit the Open button.
- Check the checkbox in columns Private and Public in the Titanfall 2 row and hit OK.
- Restart your PC.
2. Disable background apps
Background apps will consume your PC’s resources and create compatibility issues, even if Titanfall 2 runs on fullscreen. Close all of the apps manually, then follow these steps to close the apps you might be unaware are running.
- Use CTRL + Shift + ESC shortcut to open the Task Manager.
- Select an app you wish to close.
- Right-click on the app and select End task.
⚠ Warning: Never disable Windows background processes and your antivirus software.
3. Verify game files
Corrupted game files can cause various issues. Even if Titanfall 2 is running correctly, if one of the game files is incorrect, it can prevent the game from saving files.
- Launch Steam and go to the Library.
- Right-click on Titanfall® 2 and select Properties.
- Select the Local Files tab, and click on Verify integrity of the game files.
Extra steps
If Titanfall 2 is still not saving, try to:
- 🧹 Perform a disk cleanup: This can be done with a default Windows app. Click on the Windows icon, type Disk Cleanup, and open it. Select which type of files you want to delete and hit OK for the process to begin. We recommend you do it frequently, even if you don’t experience any issues.
- 💾 Install the game on the primary partition: Many players report that the issue occurred due to the game being installed on one section of your drive and save files being on another. To solve this, install the game on the primary one, usually C: partition.
- 🛡 Check folder access permissions: Click on the Windows icon, type Controlled Folder Access, and open it. If the setting is ON, which we recommend, you need to add Titanfall 2 as an exception by finding it in blocked history and clicking on Allow on this device
