Turn off autosave?

wetwarev7 · 03-10-10, 04:24 PM

Is there a way to turn off the autosave function? Every now and then the game pauses so it can autosave and it's driving me nuts!

I don't think it's part of the save game sync, as I have that turned off, but I can't find anything anywhere that would let me turn off autosaving.

I have been trying to figure that out myself. I have not found anything as yet.
I search the forums every 3 or 4 days looking for answers...

Well, thank you for at least mentioning you have the same problem. I was beginning to think I was the only one.

I just can't believe that no one else is complaining about this, considering how intrusive and mood-killing it is.

It's a small annoyance, but not exactly game breaking.

Mine usually saves at fortuitous moments, when I think 'Oh yeah, I probably should have saved here'.

That's to turn off the online saves, which can destroy days or weeks of gameplay, not the in game auto-saves, which are perfectly fine just a little annoying.

It's actually saved a game or two for me!

I like the autosaves..

I played sims last night for like an hour and had a power glitch... no saves

I'm lazy and absent minded and forget to save.

Well thank you everyone for posting just to say how this is not an issue for you.

I happen to find the autosave feature annoying as hell, and I would still like to hear from anyone who has figured out how to turn it off.

(heh, how's that for a snippy response

)

Very snippy. If you post something in a public forum, expect others to voice opinions which may differ from your own.

It's more likely that it's simply not possible to turn off auto-saves then it is that we're hiding the information from you deliberately.

i admit its a pain in the ass but it has also saved me from defeat it one point i lost my boat and did not save but i rolled back to a autosave and it saved my carear

SteamWake · 04-09-10, 10:58 AM

I find it absurd you dont have a choice to turn it off.

Probably hard coded.
But I'd love to see it gone.
