The Last of Us' autosave has a glitch. Read if you're playing. [Apparently fixed]

Ergh. Yeah. Guess the spores got into the system.

Wait, someone explain this further - autosaves are independent of the checkpoints? So I wouldn't have to be saving manually every 5 minutes anyway?

Ugh that's what I was worried about.
So basically, the safest way to play is to do the manual saving option, but not actually save until you are done playing for the moment?
Lighten up, Francis!

Lost about an hour worth of gameplay after getting about 5 hours in.
Dammit, I was so proud after stealthily clearing out some huge area without alerting anyone, now I have to do it all over again!

Oh, so I just looked it up. Apparently, they didn't change the aiming - just added an alternative aiming (whatever that means).
On TLoU, been playing for 1.5 hours so far and I'm good.

Yes, because plenty of people (like yourself) had no problems with how it was, so they didn't want to risk another round of complaints if they changed it outright. So they patched in an alternate aiming option. Alternate aiming feels much closer to the aiming in Uncharted 1 and 2.
I have the medium slim model. I'm thinking, next time I see this bug, I'm going to kill myself (as in Joel), to see if it gets the bug unstuck with a reload after a checkpoint. Also to check whether it reloads the game based on the save file, or from memory.

So once you turn off autosave, you should be able to save it in desired locations, right? Is it checkpoints based?
It does it indeed save.
40 mins in, no issues. Using the no auto-save option when starting a new game.
Here's the thing, maybe I'm slow. But why does the game want to auto-save, every time you hit manual save? What's the point of manual saving if the game forces an auto-save first?
Tried that already.. nope.

When you guys start the game is the loading screen black with particle effects flying by? also does the loading get to 100% and then restart another loading from 0-100% again?
It doesn't seem to be auto-saving after "events". At least there's no on-screen indication.
This happened on my very first new game.
what's up with that?
From boot to main menu this game takes forever to load.
Eesh. :/

Thanks for the Heads Up GAF. This would suck to run into.

My ps3 just crashed while downloading the update that was released today :/
Hope my five hours or so gameplay has saved.
Great game though, lives up to the hype more so than Infinite.

Just lost three hours Going to be a few days before going through this story again now. Worked fine yesterday. Today, patch the game, load got to 70% then restarted at 0% on black screen. Didn't think much of it so carried on playing.
Three hours is a long time when you're crouched and waiting for things to walk past you, or spending time crafting and upgrading. I have to do all that again and go to the same workbenches /yawn.
Gutted.

This happens to me exactly the same, initial load creeps up to about 35% then resets to 0.00% and does this a few times before finally getting there and starting the game.

Not yet. My PS3 was on for a few hours prior downloading while I went to the store and I think it could have gotten a tad too warm so I turned it off and put it somewhere to cool off a bit and will try again soon
I keep telling myself it's just an overheating issue lol I bet it's something more. Sucks too cos I was like in the middle of recording a let';s play of it and it crapped out on me

Thank fuck for that, my save is fine. I did manually save before going to bed at 4am though.
I wouldn't want to manual save either, but if I run into this glitch and can still manual save and still respawn at all the spots I would have respawned with autosave on, I'd be fine just waiting until I'm done playing to save.
But if having this glitch present means that every death will have me respawning at the last functioning save, well, that's different.

Wasn't someone saying earlier that as soon as you manually save, the autosave turns back on? I'm still trying to understand what I should do when I get my copy later. Do you have to quit back to the main menu every time you manually save to turn the autosave back off?

What's worse is that they delayed the game to add polish to it and finish it off better and this happens.
it's weird though cos people who got it early last week from stores who broke street date had no issues, also reviewers had no issues (that we know) and yet here we all are at launch

Damn it, I just bought the game this morning too. Hopefully they will have it fixed today... I don't want to play all weekend worrying about it not saving and having to redo something.

I'm retail, i don't know if it's your system. I've never had any problems with mine i got the impression it was struggling with..something when i was playing it.
