Saving in this game is fau, Quicksaving in this game is fau too. According to my version of The Saboteur, saving is in the UI, but doesn't work. Does quick saving/loading work for anyone else playing this game. I hate repeating a level after completing 75% - 95% of it over and overand over again. any help/tweak?

Doesnt seem to work for me either. :/

I can see 2 save games in the list, but loading either one takes me back to the first checkpoint in the level.

This is really gonna be an issue!!

EDIT: When you go to save it does say something like "progress in the mission wont be saved", which makes me wonder what the save games are for?

Normally you're progress mid mission wont be saved. You'd have to finish the current mission first and get back to the main hub world.
So as of this post, May 1st 2020, the Quicksave function does _not_ work, it just flashes up a message very briefly but writes nothing to the save game folder. Quickload will load back in the _autosave_, which is basically a checkpoint save made after the successful completion of a mission.

If this was the original intent of this feature then one must ask why it was included in the first place, surely the purpose of a Quicksave feature is to save the game at the exact point of the game the player is currently at, including progress, and enables the player to Quickload back to that exact point should something go horribly wrong with their gameplay.

In this case, when quicksave is used _no_ file is written to the savegame folder, therefore one can only assume that it does _not_ work as intended.

One can also assume that this will never be fixed officially due to the fact that the software company went bust at the time of the game release...

Sorry, unless somebody wants to patch this then the GOG version of this game will never have a working quicksave :(

The game still won't save, not mission, not after completing the mission, it just won't save. The saves in the menu read "Last completed mission: No mission". I'm uninstalling.

Oh yeah, as a PC Gamer I can feel you. But this is the "console world". They just have another definition of what a quicksave is.

In the PC world a quicksave saves the exact state of the game as it is right now.

In the console world, it only saves some variables like inventory, checkpoints etc. Which means evertime you reload you loose all progress you got during "a mission". This is the main reason I stopped playing all the GTA's.

It's a user-defined forum title. You can go to the page where you can manually change it by going to the top of nearly any forum page and clicking "My Settings" in the upper right, in between "My questions" and "Help".
After rage quitting while still in the prologue all my hatret for EA killing the game studio is gone as i see it as an act of karma now.
Thanks EA for avenging all the PC gamers who where trolled by Pandemic's "save" system.
