"Currently unable to manually save"

[BraveRyan525]

Please help! I have been playing Red Dead 2 and I have gotten pretty far. I know that my autosave is on. I am NOT in the middle of a mission and I do NOT have a bounty on my head. The two cheats that I have found are turned off. I know that the game auto-saves, but I want to be able to manually save. but for some reason I keep getting a message with a lock next to it that says, currently unable to manually save. Does anybody know what I should do? I'm so confused.

I typically go to sleep for a few hours (in game obviously) and then hit save, then change the save slot to a new one when I want to be able to go back to that spot.

I have tried that as well! Every time I go and try to save the game there is a lock symbol next to it and it won't even let me click on it to save it in a different spot. It's completely locked me out from saving and I have no idea what's going on.

It locks if you are on an active mission.  Save BEFORE you talk to someone to start a mission, not during the mission.

From what I'm seeing, even if you turn the cheat on and then off, it will still not allow you to manually save.

I'm stuck on the same issue right now. Not currently in a mission and just did 2 others to make it progress to no avail. 

I had turned on a cheat earlier, turned it off shortly after and now I cannot manually save the game.

I'm having a similar issue. I'm not locked out,  but the game still wont let me manually save, and it's not auto saving either. I'm not currently in any active missions,  havent used any cheats, and dont have any bounties, so I have no idea what's going on. The last time I exited the game I lost 2 perfect cougar pelts as well as my count of cougar kills for master hunter challenge 6, so now I'm back to one kill with a bow. Pissed!  I'm afraid to exit again game and lose a ton more progress. Help!!

I had that issue, went to Valentine, antagonised the Sheriff, got locked up. After that it allowed me to save
