Forum:Unable to save my game

Ok, so I'm playing on PS3, just started playing this game two days ago. Played for like 3 hours and then tried to save and go to bed. The save option was unlit in the start menu (I wasn't in the middle of dialogue or fighting or anything, just standing there and it was unavailable). So I thought maybe it would just autosave.

I turn it on to play yesterday and realize that it didn't save, and it loads my last autosave from when I just entered Megaton. So I was pretty confused at this point, but this game is just so fun that I started playing and a couple hours later I run into the same problem. Save option is still unavailable and it had not autosaved that whole time. So at this point I tried everything I could think of. I messed with the options in the settings menu, tried sleeping and waiting (in the game), and no luck. Couldn't even get it to autosave and I still can't manually save. There went another couple hours of gameplay down the drain.

Today, I turn the game on and just start playing again ( because this game is so addicting). To this point I have played for about an hour and same thing, I can't save it. I am honestly stumped at this point, and the only thing I can think to do next is just start an entirely new game and see if that works.

Any ideas?

Anon sez: I ran into a similar problem after copying my saved data (PS3) from one profile to another. I'm fairly certain that on the PS3, there is protection against "uber save" transfers and downloaded saves, etc. Try starting a new one on your profile and see if that helps. Otherwise, it might be a glitch however I think copy protection is the most likely answer.
