Reducing load time

[Lansat]

So after playing the game for a while it seems that the time it takes to load the game is getting longer and longer. From desktop to loading a save game, it takes at least 5 minutes to load. This by itself would not be much of an issue but my game also crashes extremely frequently. Anyway that i can reduce the amount of time it takes to load short of reinstalling the game/making a new char?

Whoa, 5 minutes. What's quite a lot, dude :D

 

Some questions:

Do you have mods?

What are your system specs?

How large is one of your savegame?

What's with 3rd party programs?

Is there a lot of programs running in the background?

Ive been having the same problem with my level 25 character. I assumed it was just because of how many mods iI had installed until just now I started a new character to test something and it loaded instantly. Just to check I loaded up several saves from the first character and shure enough, the longer I had been playing the longer it took to load the save up to my current save which takes around 7 minutes to load up. The save game file seems to be almost double a fresh character save but it's still only 9 megs.

Oh, quad core at 2.6, 4 gigs ddr3, gtx 285all that, shouldnt be a hardware issue and like I said a fresh game loads instantly. Any help would be great.

You probably have (a) mod(s) that is using placeatme's and not deleting them or else adding a ridiculous amount of persistent references. Your save games get too big and take longer to load, as you would expect.

Wracking my brain to think what's different this time around and the one thing i can think of is I'm using khets alternate start roleplayers mod, playing as an escaped slave it adds a non removable slave collar, cold that be what's causing the issue? I'm not at that computer atm so can't access my load order. thanks
