I cannot save game.

[Gnijący Trup]

I cannot save the game. I delete many of saves. Now i have only 3. Now I’m in lab x5. I’m not near the enemies but still i can’t save. Do you have any solution to that or i must wait for next patch?

Sometimes you have to leave the current area to activate save

If it’s red at the top of your hud you are still near enemies.

I've had this once, I was in X5 as well. It coincided with the controller bugging out, it was just stood there like it was asleep and couldn't be killed. I had "The game cannot be saved" for over an hour, I went all the way back to a safe area to see if that worked and it it didn't. I ended up loading an earlier save and doing it all again. sorry that's not much help.

I found this thread where someone had the same bug

Seems like sleeping or fast travel might fix it, but obviously you need to make it back to a safe hub


Or completing the mission might fix it

Fixed. After autosave in Rostok I can do it again. Thx

You can't save near enemies, the bar at the top has to be blue/white to allow it

Yes I had this bug once, the “solution” was keep playing until an auto save was triggered, then curiously quick/normal save function was back.

Ahh that's the key. Thought it was just during some mission sequences. I have saved when enemies were really close, but they hadn't notice me yet, and my bar was white.

At first like the OP... you think you've maxed out so you delete a bunch of "saves". That doesn't work, so you assume it's a bad mechanic to raise the tension during missions. But it's actually means to keep the player from saving in a bad spot..... which is a better way to look at it.

I have the same issue. After entering X5 saving is impossible. It doesn't matter if enemies are present.

[UncivilS3rvant]

Did you try F5? Those appear to be unlimited...

Yep, this has just happened to me, I've done with this over priced early access nonesense, I'll stick to Anomaly.
