Cant save my game. I guess if I don't want to complete the game in one go I should go F myself.

[Lukwich]

I have lost over 6 hours of my time in cyberpunk. I made saves, and the game decided not to keep them. I don't know why this is happening. I deleted previous saves, then proceeded to save hoping it was a save limit issue, but it unfortunately was not. I have restarted countless times, and I don't know whats going on. As any save I make is not one I can return to.

I am extremely frustrated, and want help.

earlier today I had the game start screaming "You can't save right now!" for no apparent reasons, luckily resetting without losing much progress I got back to back "wait a while for someone to get back to you" calls and was able to save again.

Might not be the exact cause the OP has, but 2077 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ itself since launch is not exactly new. To the point I was left wondering "Okay does it not like the fact I unlocked the new Hoon car or what?" because god only knows how 2077 is breaking itself at any given time.

Even the black flickering issue on the hall to dex is still a thing! (thanks, random youtube videos saying the color precision settings fix that, it does)

I had a problem recently where my game would not allow me to save (You can't save right now!), while I was not in combat or doing anything and just walking around the city. I had lost a couple of hours of gameplay the first time this happened and was close to jacking the game in. However, when the game does that, I now try to do something which does an autosave like fast travel or sleep so there is a save point, and then restart. It gets really annoying if the game is not saving and you are about to do a big fight or make progress. It also seemed to happen around certain parts of the city as if I went back to the place I was I would still be unable to save. Mostly it seems to resolve itself after the fast travel for save point + restart.

And here I was just about to try it and see if things improved.
I guess not.

I think in some areas the game just doesn't allow saving, but not sure what they were. Think I had that in some missions or such?

There is no save limit on PC.
Verify that the save file location isn't set as read only for some reason.
Verify that the folder location and file aren't write restricted (allow access in protected folders/files setting if you have it enabled).

Yes, during some scenes or some areas of some missions you are not allowed to save.

I had completed an NCPD event when it first happened in the north part of the city center. I was not in a mission at the time that I could not save. I was heading towards another NCPD event via some shops, and could not make a save before the new combat started in the next NCPD. I was not in any main game mission or gig or even in any combat when I could not save, but it seemed like it could have been a snag from earlier combat which had ended.

I know that you cannot save on cut scenes or combat or specific epic sequences, etc, but I was doing nothing at the time and it was a glitch in the game as I could travel back to the apartment and manually save there, but could not save again once back in the area.

To the original poster: could it be something to do with the sync'ing of save files on Steam?

Adding to this because I can't save either. Even when the game shows its auto-saving it doesn't actually save, and it just wont let me save at all. No matter if I'm out of combat, not in a mission, and tried multiple locations on the map to save just in case and nothing seems to work. I've looked online for solutions as well and did the ones that could apply to me, like allowing the app in windows defender and still nothing. Hope this gets resolved!

Try turning off crosssave.
