Unfortunately, as soon as you load a save game, it seems to perform an autosave straight away.
This means that if you load autosave 4 to check if it is the one you wanted, if the last was autosave 5, then autosave 1 gets overwritten with the same data as 4. Now say 4 was not the one you wanted, you then try and load 3 and 2 is overwritten straight away with the same data as 3 ... on load!
This is crazy. There is absolutely no need to autosave after you 'load a save'. That save point already exists because you just loaded it!
This is really annoying and should not be an issue.

The whole save system is terrible...how come I didn't have any problems with Origins, their whole system was perfect, the saves, the Reveals, the controls..etc...etc...
I've had to go back and re do stuff even though I've saved and I've discovered places only to go back to them and have to rediscover them!! It doesn't autosave when you have uncovered places on the map!! Lunacy...It makes for awful gameplay.
I literally had to log on just to comment on this! Are you really trying to pass your terrible save every 20 second auto save feature as a User issue!?! LOL omg ubisoft ive seen some stuff out of you but making a terrible save system and then blaming the users has to be my favorite! LOL 10/10 would downvote ubisoft again.
Remarks panning the useless autosave system are 100% on the money here. Doubly so for the remarks from Ubisoft suggesting that "Manual saves will solve all your problems". They may as well not have autosaves at all. A system that creates an autosave AS SOON AS YOU LOAD A SAVED GAME was either designed by an idiot, or else, as is more likely, that behavior was unintended, and the fact that it made it into the game was an oversight. Either way, DEFENDING that implementation is IDIOTIC. Typical, mind you, but definitely idiotic.
Even an option just to turn the autosave feature OFF would be preferable. At least that way I'd never accidentally load one of the (useless) autosaves by mistake when trying to back up to an actual, usable save point I manually created.
TL;DR - Assassin's Creed Odyssey Autosave files are useless. (P.S. And that definitely isn't the players' fault.)
Hello everyone!
I appreciate you have some feedback regarding the auto save system, and this was passed on to our team earlier in the conversation.
We are of course not blaming the users in any way and I understand you preferred the auto save system in AC Origins.
The suggestion to save manually was simply to help you, while we forward your feedback to our team. We are unable to guarantee if a change to the system will be made, so we did our best to offer you a workaround.
All the best!
As a game developer not for this game , just wanted to relax and play. Impossible no customer support and broken auto save fails, but restarting to brand new game from level 70 is a joke, so as this intelligent game say , we want to play not BE BETA TESTERS YOUR MAKING US OUT TO BE.
IN FORUMS NOT ANY MENTIONED ONCE UPDATE IS DONE NOW HAVE AN INCREASE IN KILLER GAME YOU CANNOT PLAY.
THEREFORE TODAY SAW SAVE WAS DONE FROM LEVEL 16 TO LEVEL 19 ONLY AND NO MORE AUTO SAVES.
Sorry you CANNOT DO ANY SAVES AFTER AUTOSAVE FAILS NO MORE SAVE.
BUT IN ADDITION TO GOING TO EVERYWHERE IN GAME NO EVERYTHING ACCOMPLISHED IS GONE VANISHED NO GRÉEN WINGS TO GO FLY TO .
QUESTION ON MANY MINDS IS, HOW DO YOU STAY IN BUSINESS WITH NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT, CANNOT LOG IN90 PERCENT OF TIME , REPLIES SAY HAVE NOT HEARD FROM YOUSO WE CLOSED THIS ISSUES. YOU LOST ALL CREDIBILITY, BUT TO BE FAIR I PURCHASE MANY OF YOUR OTHER GAMES SO MUCH BETTER, BUT AC ODICRAP IS LOST IN BUG SWAMPS,
