Corrupted save files

[kugkings]

For some reason I keep getting corrupted saves. I've noticed it takes about 3 times as long to save. I don't know why it's happening, I've used all these mods before at the same time with no problems. I've also noticed that the save files are going from about 8000kb to 3500kb.

If your saves are corrupted, they will not load.

 

What you are describing sounds normal, the more you do ingame, the more info that has to be stored, and the save gets larger.

 

The saves from my lv. 60 char are 13,500 kb, but my new one is around 5k. All of them work just fine.

 

One way to help minimize savegame sizes is to never drop unwanted gear. Always give it to a dead body, so you know the reference gets deleted.

[kugkings]

well the problem is that the save files with the same character are dropping by about 4500kb for no apparent reason. I'm familiar with save game bloat and the such, but this looks like the opposite to me.

 

I thought that one of my mods may be causing the issue, as I recently updated a lot of them

[Bozzz123]

What I usually do is either delete unwanted save files or at least put them in a different folder. I don't know if that will solve your problem but it helps with the clutter of saves in-game.

[vlaka]

by corrupt do you mean that your games fail to load or constant ctd's?

Save games will increase in size based on what mods, what you've done in game etc

[kugkings]

By corrupt I mean when I try to load the save it gives me a message that the save is corrupt and can't be loaded and it sends me back to the main menu.

I've since fixed the problem, once I reinstalled some mods (player headtracking and auto-unequip ammo) and uninstalled the auto harvest mod it all worked fine. Not sure which fixed it, but my saves work again and instead of shrinking from 8000kb to 3500kb they grow slightly like they are supposed to.
