Missing Save Disk Icon | Missing Sniper Rifle During Snail Trail Mission

[Arviem]

I have an issue when I arrived at San Fierro, I think when Cesar Vialpando started calling me about the drug shipment leaving San Fierro. Whenever I decline it, the save disk icon started disappearing whenever I walk into it. What I tried to do was I bought a new property and tried checking to save there but unfortunately it did the same. So I triggered and finished a mission and the save disk icon did not disappeared and let me save. But things repeatedly happening every time I decline Cesar about the drug shipment whenever he calls in. Until one point further in the game, the save icon no longer spawns. Whatever I do, it just don't show up. I bought a new property but some of them aren't showing the save icon and some of them shows the save icon but it just disappear whenever I walk into them. I am 100% sure I don't have any ongoing missions specially from Cesar because once I decline his call, there isn't a red triangle in the radar nor in the map. I just let it be and just relayed on my auto save file even though its risky. Once I've accomplished the "Outrider" mission, I started to trigger the "Snail Trail" mission. But there was another thing that frustrates me, the Sniper Rifle that Officer Tenpenny hid inside the construction site was missing and it doesn't show up inside the big rounded cement (but the Chainsaw and the flamethrower spawn was visible and possible to get). I can't progress without that sniper rifle. I don't know why it was missing nor how to solve all those issues. I can't go back to my last successful save point which is after "Back to School" mission. Because, I would have to deal with Zero's missions again. I know it's just a side mission now but I can't just redo them sometime in the future now that I already dealt with them. Also, I have already maxed out Michelle Cannes' progress. I am also aware that she's just a part of the side missions in GTA San Andreas but man, I can't say more about it because it's just the same thing as why I won't redo Zero's missions.

Please, if anyone read this, help me.

Autosave? Is this the mobile version, remastered or DE?

 

Got any mods installed? In particular, do you have any mods that add pickups to your map?

 

It sounds like your pickup pool is clogged with too many pickups. Collecting horseshoes, snapshots and oysters should free up enough room to restore normal operation. If there is room in the pool, the save pickups should fix themselves when you toggle a mission on and off.

 

Money and weapon pickups dropped my NPCs can clog the pickup pool if CJ leaves the area before they expire. Take a tour of the map and revisit areas where large battles occurred, like gang war zones and remote mission sites. If CJ gets close enough for the expired pickups to spawn they will clean them selves up and free up room in the pool.

Xbox DE? So no mods. Thank you for the report. Please include information on the progress of missions and collections (horseshoes, snapshots, oysters).

 

Are there any similarities with the speculated causes offered by the other player with the glitch; can we rule out Cesar calls, for example?

 

Please test the hypothesis that the pickup pool is clogged. If you have ignored the collectible pickups this is fairly likely. There's not much extra room for a very dynamic pool to function properly. Peds stop dropping as many money piles, gang members drop fewer weapons. When it's really bad the armor spawned by a gang war can disappear within view as CJ opens fire on the next wave.

 

If you make a casual trip around the map and collect at least 20 collectible pickups you should clear enough room in the pool to restore normal function to the save pickups by toggling an sub-mission like taxi, pimping, or vigilante on and off.

 

If someone on PC encounters this glitch then please upload the save to GTASnP.com so I can take a closer look at the data.

Pickup pool clogging data for the DE would be really interesting to see so I'm hoping somebody follows through with this.
