I deleted some save games from within the the game and now it seems that I cannot save games anymore, only on rare occasions when a new mission begins. Also a new game that I started does not get saved.

Is there a solution which does not involve re-installing?

Is this about the PC version of the game? – JohnoBoy Nov 15 '12 at 9:28
Jip, the PC/Steam version – Peter M Nov 15 '12 at 11:05

I've tried deleting all the saved game files out of game. Relaunching the game, all the saved games still appear however in the list however trying to launch one gives an error dialogue. This indicates that there is a secret database storing info about the save games, which is not in that SaveData folder. – frankster Feb 9 at 13:04
did you delete that many that the number of saves came under 90? until you come below, nothing will change. – Peter M Feb 11 at 22:39

Ok, I found a solution here: Link to 2k-forums, at least for my problem.

Xcom seems to have problems handling to many save games. So, go into your save game folder (e.g.: "C:\Users\\Documents\my games\XCOM - Enemy Unknown\XComGame\SaveData") and delete or move old save games. Et Viola!

Go to the savegame folder (C:\Users\%username%\Documents\my games\XCOM - Enemy Unknown\XComGame\SaveData), copy your latest saves to a new folder elsewhere, delete every thing in the save folder, and start the game.

If you look at the saves, they should all be blank. Exit the game, copy your saves back to the SaveData folder, and restart the game.
