Quick Save.

[Atom.Little]

Does anybody know if there's a way to quick save the game?...

You know, just so you don't have to bring up the menu and click on 'Save', then find a slot, then click on that, then click 'save' and then confirm-click and finally click back into the game.

I've looked through the menu and through the tutorial but can't find anything about it - that's why I ask and not because I'm lazy. ;) ...Thanks in advance.

P.S. I'm on PC - Mouse & Keyboard.

there is one you can set in your keybindings not sure exactly which function button it is but it is one of them, WI, WII, had it and I am sure WIII has it too cause I know I hit it on occasion accidentally

Sorry, I should have mentioned I'm on PC with just mouse and keyboard (I better edit and add it right away - there, done). I don't know what you mean by WI, WII or WIII, it doesn't sound like a PC keyboard?

I will check the keybindings page and see if I can set a keybinding there.

Hey, I'm back... I looked and you're right, there is a keybinding. And you know what? I somehow thought I remembered something about it being one of the f-[number] keys and it is: It's 'f5'.

Thank you so much for mentioning it, you saved my day. :)

I advise against using Quicksaves. You will get your game bugged, a guarantee.

It takes me 2 seconds to manually save a game, so I never quicksave... but I went to test Quicksave vs Manual Save and the result is :

-Quicksaved just before a fight with an Archgriffin. After a couple of reloads, I could no longer climb ledges (a bug that blocks progress). It's really unreliable and had this "can't climb the ledge" bug even when the game launched. Never used it again.

-Manual save however I can reload to time's end, never an issue with it.

All in all, I wouldn't take the risk of quicksaving that will cause bugs to your game which will in the end cause you to lose hours of progress ( as it happened to me, lost 8 hours because of quicksave).

It does not work well with this game, or open games in general. Even in Bethesda games, quicksaves are likely to bug your game.

Never had any issue with quicksaving in Witcher 3 - and I'm quicksaving a lot.

Crimsomrider, have You submitted the invalid savefile to CDPR? I'm really curious about the issue.
