azhar2955 Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 Hey guys! So I have played the game for a few hours and have completed The noblest of men and a woman mission. I manually saved the game and started playing later. Played for a few more hours and found that I cannot save manually. It says "currently unable to manually save" and there are no auto-saves either (auto-save is turned on). Loaded the previous save, lost the progress and still cannot save manually. Any suggestions?
Poggy Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 The only times I've been unable to manually save from the Story Menu is when I'm within a mission. The only thing I can suggest is to make sure you haven't got some mission or bounty or story element active before trying to manually save. You could also try turning auto save off/on again. Sorry, no great ideas about this. 1

Reporting posts here does not make them go to Rockstar. Just send them a message and they should be able to help.
Dubya75 Posted October 31, 2018 Posted October 31, 2018 You can't manually save whilst in the middle of an active quest.
Scorpion_1738 Posted November 2, 2018 Posted November 2, 2018 Did you have a map waypoint set at the time, I had the same problem but removing the waypoint allowed me to save.
DylBandit Posted November 2, 2018 Posted November 2, 2018 As @Dubya75 mentioned, you cannot save while you are on a mission. However, if you quit the game while in a mission, the mission will not count, and you will have to re-do the mission. I did this when I had to leave my house while I was in the middle of the mission and he to do it over again. Not a big deal because I knew exactly what to do, and went through the motions pretty quick.
Rugguuio Posted November 2, 2018 Posted November 2, 2018 Did anyone find a fix for this, i seem to be having the same problem?
N7Creed Posted November 2, 2018 Posted November 2, 2018 If you use the game's cheat codes, it turns off the option to save the game. (Just in case anyone has used them.)
micah Posted November 2, 2018 Posted November 2, 2018 @Rugguuio Setting a custom waypoint and then removing it worked for me. For some reason, the game just didn't let me save till I did that.
Justin Hearne Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 I was running into the same issue. I tried installing the update. I had to uninstall then reinstall the game and everything is working fine now
TennesseeWhiskey Posted December 16, 2018 Posted December 16, 2018 Had the same issue. Didnt realize I had a bounty on me across most of the map including where I was located at the time. Paid the bounty and was able to save after that
VampireKrush Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 I had this happen to me once or twice. If you are in the middle of a mission, either finish it or fail it. Alternatively, you just make sure to save right before going into a mission so if you need to stop playing, you won't lose previous gameplay. If you have auto-save on then it shouldn't be an issue to just quit playing.

For it had not happened before. But it was making periodic autosaves as I completed the various missions. You can check when the last time the game autosaved by going to the Load Saved Game section and looking at the time/date stamp for your autosave file. If I had to quit out while going through Epilogue Chapter 1, it only meant losing the last few minutes of progress. Whew! I assume this was happening to me for it was late, and I was always in the middle of one of the missions.
Gamer.28 Posted January 6 Posted January 6 (edited) Does anybody know how I can save even though if I've got no way point set, no cheats on and no bounty. I am in the second chapter and I'm bored of the game but I can't go off until I save. Anybody please help Edited January 6 by Gamer.28
