Re: ME Andromeda - Option to disable Autosave

I'm on ps5 playing the ps4 version of andromeda and have so many save files...  Each time I start a new mission or significant event like new planet a save gets created.  And then all the autosaves are way too much overkill.   Saving 10 times in 10 minutes and never overwriting previous saves means within a few days of gameplay I had 0.5 gb on my hard drive full of unnecessary save files I'm never gonna use.

Now every time I start playing I'm having to delete all the crap saves I don't need to save space on my harddrive.

I understand some insanity players are going to want to respawn as close to where they died as possible and need regular saves but I'm not one of them and I don't want them.

At the very least autosaves should overwrite older ones... Maybe keep 10 - 20 at most and better still give users an option to control autosaves to their preferences.

I'm more of a play on normal and if I forget to save then that's my problem kind of guy.

    There is a glitch on you system.
    (Or maybe for the PS4?)

    The number of Autosaves is normally restricted to 9 and the last one is overwritten by the newest one.

    Patch 1.06 increased the amount of Autosave from 6 to 9, but as said, it should not be more than 9.

    That might be, but I really can say for sure.

    The problem is that the game is out of studio support for years now, meaning a fix for this is rather unlikely.

    Did you contacted PS support? Maybe they know something about this problem?

    Sony put a disclaimer up for all ps4 games when playing on ps5 to say some features may not work properly so I'm not going to expect anything from there either.

    I replayed me1-3 and doing andromeda for the story before the next me comes out.... Which should be a ps5 native game and run properly
