TRYING TO AUTOSAVE IT SAYS FAILED

[Spaiilix]

Every time I try to save the game it says failed or manual save it says I might need more storage when I have 200 g free

It might mean you need more cloud storage.
Suggest you go into the save folder and cut some the older saves place into a new folder name it saves and dates from to.
your game files are saved under located in My documents Rockstar Games/Red Dead Redemption 2/Profiles. your user ID number they have an unusual name SRDR30000 SRDR30000.bak the S stands for save

Go to Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Security > Virus & threat protection. Under Virus & threat protection settings, select Manage settings, and then under Exclusions, select Add or remove exclusions > Select User//Documents//RockStar Games// Red Dead Redemption 2. Then also add SteamLibrary//SteamApps//Common//Red Dead Redemption 2. Hope this helps!

Has anyone been able to resolve this yet?

I had the same issue couple of times. I've resolved it by "Verify integrity of game files".
It's in Library, right click on a game, Properties -> Installed Files tab.

I could not save manually and auto save also failed every time. Thankfully I didn't go to far into the story.

The cause of this for me, was the controlled folder access. After I shut down the game I checked, and windows prompted me (notifications don't come through when playing) that the game tried to modify the folder, ergo create a saved game file. This by default is blocked on my pc. So once I allowed the game to modify the folder, autosave started to work and I could manually save as well.

Did you look into what I mentioned?

Windows Security > Virus & Threat Protection > Ransomware Protection

Right click Rockstar Games folder in Documents, untick the read-only option and click OK. It shouldn't be on read-only but its possible some of it is. I had this same trouble on some PCs for whatever reason that did the trick.

Then launch Steam via Run As Admin
Launch Rockstar Launcher via Run As Admin
Launch RDR2 from Rockstar Launcher

All those extra options which you applied (they are NOT defaults) for controlled folder access and memory, disable that stuff in Defender.

Download rockstar game launcher and link your steam or epic account. then go to your pc settings, windows security, virus and thread protection, manage settings and disable real time protection. Open the game from rockstars game launcher.
