I was very excited to claim Mafia 3 on my Pro subscription today! What a game!
Played for an hour and a half, had to quit the game for a while. When i came back, there was no "continue" option on the main menu and had to start a new game. Then played for more two hours and again, when i came back to the game - no save again! I still tried a third time on a new game - still no saving.
The game has an auto save feature, so there is no option to manually do it. I do see the flashing icon on the top right corner of the game, indicating that it's saving, between new parts of episodes, cutscenes, etc, but it just won't save. It doesn't matter if i play for 30 minutes or four hours. I'm also getting the "reopen the game to play" error a couple of times with this game, which never happened on other Stadia games.
All other Stadia games work perfect and no issues with saves at all.
I'm still on my trial month subscription period, but if this game breaking issue on Mafia 3 continues, i will cancel before it ends... for sure.
Hey @MrVacca!
I contacted Stadia support via Facebook and after some troubleshooting i was asked to do exactly that, and i did contact 2Ksupport today about the issue and got this back from them:
"Thanks for contacting 2K Support!
I am very sorry to hear that you have been having these issues with losing all your save progress in Mafia 3.
The good news is that the developers are aware of this issue and are currently working on a fix!
Unfortunately the workaround we have for other versions of the game requires you to access your game files and delete the autosaves. Since you are on google stadia you will not be able to change the files needed."
They didn't mention a timeframe for the fix to be out, so i guess i'll just wait.
It's a terrible thing, as a Stadia Pro user, to have the game available and not be able to play, but at least is good to know they're aware of it and trying to fix it ![]()
*** UPDATE *** (10/20/2021)
Hello Stadians!
So, the devs contacted me directly through the ticket a couple of weeks ago with a few more questions about the issue and asked for a video recording of the issue happening while using the game so they could look further into it, which i happily sent right away.
Yesterday i got this new reply from them about it:
"There has been an update that should have corrected this issue.
Can you check and see if you have the latest version of the game and see if your issue has been corrected.
If you are still having an issue after that let me know"
I launched my game, tested it, and i can confirm that (at least for me) the saving issue is gone. My game is now saving normally and it's finally playable.
Everyone having this issue, please have a go! Your game should be saving now, too. @FranFra @SmileLikeADonut @bryn530 @Gatarag @PiotrOne @c0c0MELON @Castore @rAOUL
Hope i helped ![]()
Have fun!
Hey @okcomput3r - I'm sorry that it's not saving for you - that is def an annoying and off-putting bug. I sadly have not had this issue while playing the game yesterday and am having difficulty figuring out what could be causing the problem for you. I want to lean towards saying it's on the dev's side instead of Stadia since you aren't having that issue with any other game on the platform. I'd say the best place to start is to reach out to the dev team to see if there is any fix.
Sorry about that

Thanks for the update!
I have the same problem. I played but the game is not saveing
Fortunately, I have no problem with the save game and I hope it will stay that way.
You can expect fixes for this and that from developers this week. I suppose.
Same problem here, the game is not playable.
It's a pity, 'cos is really beautiful.
Been having the same issues too, really frustrating…
Same problem here, no point playing until it's fixed
Same. No progress saving. So sad.
Same here. Unfortunately makes playing the game pointless.
I'm having the same problem. Hope they fix it.
Me too. This is ridiculous. The first time with stadia and maybe the last.

Good work. Now It is fixed. Thanks
Still having issues, tried playing the game for at least 2 hrs in and it still didn’t save. Tried on chromecast and cpu ![]()
It is happening right now to me... Looked like a bug because I couldn't talk with the guy I was supposed to talk. Closed stadia and started again mafia 3. Now the game is not saved at any times... Very annoying after so many hours
