After the lukewarm reception of Dynasty Warriors 9, KOEI TECMO is back withDynasty Warriors: Originsfor current-generation platforms. The PC version in particular is a highlight with an in-depth graphics menu and support for upscalers like DLSS, FSR, and XeSS. For the most part, it’s very stable with solid performance to back it up, but there are some technical issues players can run into. If your progress in Dynasty Warriors: Origins isn’t saving, here is how you can fix that.
Fixing the Dynasty Warriors: Origins Not Saving Issue
There are a few things that can prevent the progress from saving in Dynasty Warriors: Origins, but it’s likely related to the controlled folder access setting in Windows Defender, which can block certain applications from modifying or creating files.
For most users, this should be enough, and Dynasty Warriors: Origins should create a local file and save progress. you’re able to accessthose hereif you’re looking to back them up.
If the game still refuses to save, we’ll need to provide its executable administrator rights.
Provide Executable Administrator Rights
In theory, this will ensure that the game has enough rights to access the storage location for the local data. It’s normally not necessary, but a few users have claimed that this resolved the issue for them.
If other games are having similar issues, you might need to provide Steam with administrator rights as well.
Whitelist Dynasty Warrior: Origins
Similarly, your third-party antivirus may be flagging Dynasty Warriors: Origins as a threat. To make sure that isn’t the case, add the game’s folder to the list of exceptions/exclusions and remove the executable from the quarantine if you find it there.
This isn’t an issue on the game’s side and the game is fairly stable as already mentioned.

When he isn’t spending an unhealthy amount of time in Slay the Spire, he’s probably trying out yet another retro-shooter or playing Dark Souls for the 50th time.
