Bugged save file (again)

[SilentZero]

I recently started a new playthrough of new vegas. The last time I played it was a few years ago and the reason I stopped was that actually loading a save file went from taking a second to suddenly taking 20 seconds to finaly taking several minutes. Once it started it happend very quickly.

This time I just used a handful of mods to actually get the game running.

FNV 4GB Patcher

NVAC - New Vegas Anti Crash

Yukichigai Unofficial Patch - YUP

 

I also downloaded Underground Hideout New Vegas V4-4, but deleting it had no effect on loading times.

 

I've heard saving/quicksaving can cause alot of problems..and I admit i tend to use quicksave a bit.

 

 

Any suggestion to what I'm doing wrong would be helpful. I just don't want to waste 70 hours again, just to lose another save file.

* Please see the paragraph about "auto-saves" under the 'Essentials for Getting Started' section of the wiki "FNV General Mod Use Advice" article. If you have been using the built-in "auto-save" feature and you get the endless "roulette wheel" when loading a save game, then your current save game file is corrupted and you will have to either go back to a save before the corruption occurred (hard to tell) or start over.

I recommend anyone read the entire "FNV General Mod Use Advice" article to understand the differences between this game and others you may have experience with; especially if this is your first attempt to play a modded FNV or it's been more than a year since you last did so. See the 'Common Game Problems' section in particular. It is designed for someone who has never played a modded PC game before, so it tries to avoid making any assumptions, is kept "up-to-date", and covers years of "lessons learned". It is NOT a list of various mods to install that happen to work on the author's machine. It addresses fundamentals underlying how to get the basic game and mods to work together.
