How far in the game have you made it when you stop playing? – Doozer Blake Sep 29 '13 at 17:12

Taken me about two hours of play to get this far (i know its not v good ) but as i said not experianced.Is that my problem -havent got far enough? – alan stadler Sep 29 '13 at 17:35

Hard to say, you should be far enough to save I think. Can you quick save from your phone, or save from the start menu? If not, then you have to at least get done with the first mission. – Doozer Blake Sep 29 '13 at 17:42

if its not a stupid question -how do u get up the start menu – alan stadler Sep 29 '13 at 17:49

2Hit the start button on your controller. Save is somewhere in there, but it sounds like if the phone is not coming up, you may have to get farther in to the game to save it. – Doozer Blake Sep 29 '13 at 17:52

1Saved eventually after getting to Lamars house and sleeping-v frustrating to replay initial part of game so many times. – alan stadler Sep 29 '13 at 23:30

@alanstadler: you're not playing Candy Crush now, Alan! Welcome to big school! – Paul D. Waite Oct 03 '13 at 09:32

@Robotnik: that is exactly the sort of answer I'd expect from an evil genius. – Paul D. Waite Oct 03 '13 at 09:32

There's three ways to save the game. You can save through the start menu. You can save at a safe house if you have one unlocked. The game should autosave after completing a mission, as long as you don't have autosave turned off.

Grand Theft Auto 5 refuses to save my game automatically.
You can head down to Pause Menu > Settings > Saving/Saving and Startup and check that Autosave is enabled.
PS3 & Xbox 360:
PS4, Xbox One and PC:
Even if the auto save didn't work, you can quick save after a mission by using the phone:
Or by sleeping on one of the beds:
After that you will have to choose a save space, you can either create a new one or overwrite an existing save:
After that the current game state will be saved and the progress should stay intact, but remember to save the game constantly!
