What is up with this horrible Save functionality?!

[MonkeyMan]

What is up with this horrible Save functionality?! It is ruining the game for me. I can never save when I want to. It always says, "Currently unable to manually save". And most of the time, when I start the game, it makes me replay the last mission I already completed. So. Damn. Annoying. Anyone have a workaround or suggestions here?

Are you still in Chapter 1 - The Tutorial?

Hmm you should always be able to save outside missions. Maybe you become part of some event/get bounty hunters or whatever on you.

I'm still pretty early in the game. It says 3% progress, I just finished the train robbery.

Story or Online?
In Story You can save outside of a mission when free roaming anytime.
Esc Pause screen and open the Story menu. Select Save Game to save your game.

Story mode. Maybe it's just like this for Chapter 1?

You can manually save anywhere in open world bruh.

Saves are locked once you start a mission tho boo. So manually save prior to starting a mission

Hahaha, amusing comment sir.

Are you actually allowed to save before Horse Shoe Overlook in Chapter 2?

I don't recall.

But if not, there's your problem.

if it says 'unable to save' you have to wait for the current scene, animation, combat, or auto save to finish. just loiter in game for a few seconds.

if you're not using an ssd/nvme drive, then your wait time will be more like 20-30s.
