Quicksave Ain't Workin

As the title says, I'll play for a while quicksaving every now and then so I don't lose my progress. Done this twice for the past 2 hours or so, I'll quicksave, then get killed and be at the save I started with in the beginning. (In a different empty lookin system.) So yeah, all progress made is lost. Little help?

Yup, don't save after you take a contract. You can't save with a pending active contract. Just save any other time in between contracts.

Oh dear lord, Vice, oh great and powerful programmer if this most awesome game, please cause the game to notify you, upon attempt of quicksave during a contract, that "You can't save with a pending active contract."

If its not to much to ask...

But thanks dude, at least now I won't lose anymore progress.

It will notify you in the message log if you use the Alt-F9 quick save key option (which is the recommended quick save method). It just won't do so if you go all the way into the exit menu and then try to save there. Good news is, this is being changed for the expansion and the game will notify you if a quick save doesn't take in either the exit menu or in-game.

I actually thought that F9 itself quicksaved, so unfortunately I always ended up in that menu anyways. Is there a way to just make F9 quicksave? I was in the config menu earlier but I couldn't see one, just a notation that said to hit alt f9 to quicksave. F9 is labled quicksave.

F9 should be labelled 'Quit (ALT for quick save)' as it's an alternate quit key. You should find the alternate single key/button quick save input function option on page 3 of the configure controls > keys/buttons menu.
