can we at least play multiplayer without problems?
We've already established it was broken before the patch

I just tried and I don't think autosaving can be permanently disabled. I'll remove that from the OP.
I'm saving manually every 10 minutes or so, everyone should just do the same until we get a fix.

Well the system is 4 days old. i only got it monday and it played Journey and HD ICO and SotC fine so far all week, though they were DD and not retail.
TLOU is retail though but I hope it's not an issue with lasers or the disc itself. I would have gone DD but my internet sucks and would have taken 2 days to download it and I got retail to avoid issues

Never had this problem before the patch. It took a while, but mine always saved.
I did have a great invincibility glitch though!

This was my experience:
Go into pause menu, only the top three items were selectable. From top of ym head, think it was options, bonuses and resume.
Load game and Save game were greyed out with autosaving next to it
Quit to Main Menu was also greyed out and unselectable.
I killed Joel and the in-game checkpoints worked fine, I restarted from right near the event I was currently in. So I quit to XMB and went back into the game and the options were:
Continue - The Woods
Which was miles behind where I was. I went to manually load a game and that was the same (from yesterday). :/ Stuck now, going to wait for a patch.

Oh geez. Good thing I read this thread before I went to GameStop to get it today. So, there's no fix for this yet? I'm shocked Quality Assurance didn't detect this bug.
Locks and glitches are one thing, but an autosave problem should be easily caught in QA. It also should have been mentioned by reviewers if the issue were present. Pretty much enough blame to go around between those two, but as usual, it's the consumer who gets the shaft.

I'm pretty sure if a reviewer lost hours of gametime they would've mentioned it. Take off the tinfoil hat.
Probably. Can't imagine they'd let this continue into the weekend, it would be a nightmare.
No way of telling if and when the autosave loop will start. You'll have to manually save every 10 minutes.
This is all over Twitter now and is only getting worse as more people buy the game. Very widespread problem.
Edit: Unless you mean turning off autosave and playing the entire session without saving, then maybe.
Ahh, that sucks.

2 hours lost.
Enthusiasm for game lost.
I can't even see the option to turn autosaves off.

Its 7am. I hope they had a good night sleep lol. Good luck to ND; hope it gets fixed soon as my copy of the game is en route.

There is no way it will be fixed today. Even if they do figure out what the issue is, they probably don't have the ability to hotfix the game without a title update.
What if you die in between saves?
You go back to the last checkpoint.

GTA4 on PS3 was hotfixed pretty fast after launch. It's possible.
It's so meta-survival.

OK, I updated the OP. Info is clearer now.
To sum it up (correct me if I'm wrong):
Autosave can't be disabled permanently. Save manually every chance you get. When you enter the menu you'll also be able to see if autosave is still working. If it's not you'll have to reboot the game. Even manual save is impossible at that point.

It's still weird how it happened so suddenly and is such a mass issue. Were there no signs of this in QA?

Don't just save before quitting, if the bug kicks in you wont be able to save anymore, save whenever you get the chance!

I'll prolly just mess with the multi until this is fixed.
Is manual saving available in the menu at all times after you initially disable it?

Wtf this is totally not cool. I'd hate to lose hours of my life like that. My copy's coming in today, when is this bs going to get patched?

Thanks for the clarification. It makes much more sense now.
I don't want to have to save every 10 minutes, but it's better than not getting to play it today or losing a lot of progress.
there is no REAL way to disable autosaves..
it auto saves once you have made a save file.. and it will autosave after that.. it can´t be disabled.
When you pasue the game you can save manually all the time .. UNLESS the glitch has kicked in, then the pause menu will stay on the AUTOSAVING PLEASE WAIT screen forever..

this really sucks i Just lost about 2 hours of progress. i was so looking forward to playing the game over the weekend. but i think i will just wait for a patch now.

That's really bad then. I initially thought that this bug limited us to manual save. That would not have been a problem for me ... but this is much worse.
