Save Behaviors

Autosave Every Entry

The default autosave mode, autosaves after every map transition. The first autosave of a mission is a hard-save that does not get overwritten.

Autosave First Entry

Only autosave the first time you enter each map.

Autosaves-Only (Hardcore)

Only autosave the first time you enter each map, and manual saving is disallowed.

Extra Safe (1+GB per playthrough)

Autosave every map transition, every autosave is a hard-save that does not get overwritten.

Limited Saves

Saving requires a Memory Containment Unit item. Autosaves are disabled except for a single autosave when you start the game.

Limited Fixed Saves

Saving requires a Memory Containment Unit item, and you must have a computer highlighted (security computer, personal computer, public terminal, or ATM). Autosaves are disabled except for a single autosave when you start the game.

We've seen some confusion with Limited Fixed Saves. When you have a Memory Containment Unit in your inventory (or 2 for the new Extreme version) you only need to have the box highlight on the computer and then you can use the normal Save Game menu or Quicksave button. The only freebie autosave you get is at the very start of the game. Make sure to save before going to Battery Park! Sometimes you might want to backtrack to save. Remember that if you die not all is lost, because you now have a better plan!

Unlimited Fixed Saves

Saving requires you to have a computer highlighted (security computer, personal computer, public terminal, or ATM). Autosaves are disabled except for a single autosave when you start the game.

Extreme Limited Fixed Saves

Same as Limited Fixed Saves, except now saving will consume TWO Memory Containment Units instead of one.

Autosaves Disabled

Manual saving is allowed but autosaves are disabled, the same as the vanilla game.
