MostGrand Theft Autofans likely know that the recentGTA Trilogy Definitive Editiondidn’t launch in the best state. Numerous bugs preventing progression have been reported, but the inability to save is a particularly big problem, and one that is apparently still causing issues in the game.
TheGTA Trilogyhas received fixesthat help to mitigate some of the many problems that the games launched with. From its poorly rendered rain to falling through the ground, Rockstar Games and Grove Street Games have been working hard to clean up the messes in the trilogy. However, it seems that one major one is still lurking and causing problems.

As shared by Agozzo97 on theGrand Theft Autosubreddit, there’s at least one glitch withinGTA: San Andreas' Definitive Editionthat’s keeping players from saving entirely. For the unfamiliar, when players want to save inGTA San Andreas, they have to locate one of many floating floppy disks in the world. Upon touching it, it should prompt the player to save the game. However, this player discovered that upon trying to save, it instead disappeared, as though CJ had picked it up.
According to Agozzo97, this happened on the PS4 version, but others are reporting encountering similar or identicalissues with theGTA Trilogyon the PC or Switch versions of the game. Agozzo97 notes that they tried to save at other floppy disk locations, but each would disappear without a save prompt just like the one shown in the video. Helpful fans in the comments suggest that the only way they’ve found to fix this bug is to go back to an older save, which of course could mean losing quite a bit of progress.
Unfortunately, much like with2020’sCyberpunk 2077, there seems to be a long way to go yet before the developer and publisher fully fix all the bugs with the games. While this particular save glitch is a nuisance, others have shared their saved game woes inSan Andreasin particular, highlighting issues with being unable to load auto-saved files and having normal saves become corrupted. Said players have been coping by saving as much as possible in a new slot each time, but needless to say, gamers shouldn’t have to rely upon these maneuvers in order to simply play a video game.
While open world games likeGTAandThe Elder Scrollsaren’t strangers to bugs and glitches, nostalgic gamers were understandably expecting better fromGTA’s Definitive Edition. Instead, many problems that were never a part of the original games have cropped up. For now, all players can do is continue to wait for further patches fixing issues like these, but the fanbase is understandably frustrated with Rockstar.
