This particular error can occur due to various reasons, including corrupted saved game files, Windows security protection issues, lack of admin access to the game or Steam client, and more.
If you’re receiving the same error message while attempting to load a saved game that says “119 120 612 Error Code” or “Access Denied,” refer to the guide to resolve this issue completely.
What is Error Code 119 120 612 in Baldur’s Gate 3?
To be very specific, there are a couple of particular error codes literally pushing the Baldur’s Gate 3 players to the backside as the players can’t even load the saved game files. That means the game launcher seems to be failed to access the saved game files while executing the system to load the game.
- First of all, make sure to run the Baldur’s Gate 3 (exe) game file using administration access. So, right-click on the Baldur’s Gate 3 exe file and click on ‘Run as administrator’. Similarly, you can do the same thing for the Steam client.
- Disable Controlled Folder Access from Windows Security. Click on Start > Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Security > Virus & Threat Protection > Manage ransomware protection > Turn off the Controlled folder access.
- Set Restore Defaults under the Documents folder (right-click) > Properties > Locations. Just open the File Explorer or This PC and do accordingly.
- In some cases, the Microsoft OneDrive Cloud Backup process for the Documents folder can be the reason. Make sure to turn off the OneDrive backup for the mentioned folder and restart your PC.
- Once done, try running the Baldur’s Gate III game on Steam and check whether the saved game file starts loading or not.
