Why is the Auto-Save broken?

[Ceciliantas]

The entire game, it just does not Auto-save. and I cant figure out why.

[supertrooper225]

Mine works...but my advice would be to NEVER depend on Autosave with Elder Scrolls or Fallout games. That is a good way to end up getting a corrupted save 25 hours into the game. Use quicksave.

Autosave works for me, they get the same name as normal saves though.

Sighs. typical Bethseda. thats why this game wont get GOTY, its gonna be Witcher 3 or something else. I knew the game would be a god awful bug ridden mess, but no, gf said she wants us to play together, bout ready to just lock this game up for a year and come back once the fanboys all modded and cleaned up bethsedas ♥♥♥♥.

You have 55 hours in this game. Nice try.

Every game will get GOTY from some rag. I guess a few will give it to Witcher 3 for its amazing twrilling combat.

I love Witcher 3.....like....That game ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ kicks ass.

I found its combat enjoyable too. But I am liking Fallouts gameplay more.

1: You do not want the game to auto-save

2: You do not want to quick save

It's a pain in the ass, but the same issues that have plagued Bethesda games since Oblivion, is that both the quick save and auto save features will eventually kill your save. Even after all of this time, they haven't even remotely fixed the issues related to these features. Without going into extreme detail, the more times you auto or quick save, the more unstable that particular save file becomes. In time, that save will become unsalvageable and crash more and more for seemingly no reason. To know the details, just search any game that uses this engine (or a renamed recycling of it) followed by "save bloating".

As much as it sucks, you are better off disabling all auto save functions, and making yourself manually save the game from the menu. It's tedius, and it's shoddy programing, but if you don't take this step, you might find yourself with a 500 hour save you can't use any longer.

Your a moronic ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ boy, nice try. I have 55 hours in the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ what? I expect it will take at least 500 to do everything in it, since I do alot of settlement building, and I got screwed over three times so far due to Auto-save not working and about ready to shelve the game and come back in a year to await fixes like I done for Skyrim, like I done for Oblivion, like I done for NV and Fallout 3.

Know what 5 of those 55 hours are from? Auto save screwing me over, usually when busy building and arranging settlements.

So ♥♥♥♥♥♥ boy, what smart ♥♥♥♥ you wanna say now you little candy-ass?

Didnt Skyrim got modded and patched fixing the save bloat issue at some point?

I did. it doesnt auto-save, ever. Its likely a problem with Windows 7 or maybe admin privelages, or just another unfortunate bug depending on the users system. So no, it doesnt work for me, it doesnt work for alot of people from what I read.

Please think before you post.

Kind of weird since my autosave works fine on 3 computers 1 being a Windows 7 and 2 Windows 10. It does not say it is autosaving it just does and I have mine set to 5 minutes. I have 3 autosave files and 2 quicksave files than are created. I have several of each type of file depending on date played. I do not have steam installed to C drive mind you it is on D:\Steam so not sure if that makes any difference.
