Yep, seems that way.
At this point it sounds like I can download the patch, then sign out and disconnect my internet connection, then go back in and everything will be okay.

I've done the same, but my PS3 still has an active internet connection - I've just never signed in.

Listen people... The game, for a lot of people, is constantly stuck in a "auto saving" state that disables manual saving and auto saving. It literally greys out the option to save and even quit the game. So anything you do past the FIRST time the game auto saves, is lost. Meaning that if, like me, you played 3 or 4 hours on your first time starting the game, you come back to a save 10 minutes into the game.

Good question. Someone should answer. I rather stay signed out than fully offline.
No, it's the fact that gamers weren't informed about the issue prior to logging 2+ hours of game time.
Patched, not connected to PSN

Now the question is, what the fuck is the game doing connection-wise that prevents the game from saving? That should NOT happen, ever.
never been offline, never had the problem.. but again I have not played with the patch, review copy here.
Maybe a mod should update the title with big caps "play offline"? Same with the official thread.
I just went to "Internet settings" and disabled connection, even easier.

Just sign out of your PSN profile. No need to unplug your router or anything drastic like that.

Possible it's sending save data back to the server at the same time. Possible this is a volume issue and the servers cannot cope?

Good thing I know about this, just minutes before I actually start playing the game. Never crazy about autosaves so I am glad that there is an option for saving manually.

I deleted the 1.01 patch and played for 45min without any issue.

So your PSN friends could see you were playing TLOU early?

If you get this bug you can't manually save either. Make sure you play offline apparently.
Hey Carl!
Just to recap, you didnt disconnect from the internet just from PSN, and you didnt disable autosave, right?

What did the patch even do in the first place?

Updated OP. Keep giving feedback guys.

Yeah, but what's the point? This game is not using any cloud saving, like some cross-play titles do.Valtýr;63587451 said:
So ridiculous.
Naughty Dog must have known about this issue prior to release. Back in my game tester days this wouldn't have gone gold.

Yep...that might be it.
Well yesterday was pre-launch. It's possible whatever is causing this was flipped on today.
Or, if it is an issue with the server side process not being able to cope it's because there's a lot more people playing today than yesterday.
yeah just ask Carl.. he sent me some Hate PM´s.. lol (just for fun though).. had to sign in to try out Online MP..
Correct. Just signed out of PSN. That's all i did.
Christophe told me to try online again and see if i hit the bug. Definitely seems like connection to PSN is the cause.

You won't be able to manually save your game if you encounter this bug. Play offline.
Game developers gather save data all the time. Helps them understand how the game is played out in the wild.

Ok, so it actually breaks manual saving once the glitch has occurred, if that is the case then yes, that is pretty shitty.
I thought people were making a fuss even when they could save manually, which while annoying, is far from game breaking.

BioShock Infinite is like playing some homeless guy's vivid imagination
Ah fuck, continuing the game from my last save point, and now I'm seeing the greyed out saving glitch in the menu.
So what can I do if I notice it during the game? How much progress would I lose if I were to quit right now?

Not necessarily. Could easily be an issue with load in their servers or something that's clogging it all up. It shouldn't have happened, but it's one of those things they couldn't have predicted.
Don't go online at this point
Stick to offline and do manual save every now and then.
I'm about 1h30 in - have tried to quit and reload the game a few times, the auto save have not acting up yet .
