TheknightofRand Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 So In my past two characters I have experienced massive save bloat around hour 50 of my play through. While the game is perfectly stable and runs fine while im actually playing, loading into the game and saving takes entirely to long (over 3 minutes on each character). I have started a new character deleted several large mods that add a lot of scripts and have religiously cleaned the save through my play through, but I am worried I am seeing the early signs of bloat occurring on my new character.A bit frustrated I am convinced the only solution is to add an SSD drive and install Skyrim onto it with the hopes that it will decrease load/save times. Would this actually help or am I just throwing away money? Again my only concern is load/save times when loading/saving character data not when entering a new world space.

camaro_69_327 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Finding the source of any Bloat would be the first step... Makeing sure that your SKSE.ini has the proper settings (link in my SIG) the setting for "Clear invalid registrations" tries to help with this..Clears orphaned 'on update calls". MY current save, running 254 mods is 128 hours and is> 25 MB...loads normally..30 seconds to a min...and i have a HDD no SSD for the game. (OS is on an SSD). You could try the "save game cleaner" have a look at your Save , see if it is full of Orphaned Scripts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheknightofRand Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) I have cleaned my saves and I had the skse settings, looking around I when people post load orders with save bloat, I tend to notice that immersive patrols, travelers, dawnguard, etc. are on the lists. Perhaps those files are causing the bloat?Im gonna look through each mod and hopefully find the culprit.

Roguespear Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 It has been said that using quick save can foster broken scripts in your saves I don't use quick save so can't verify. I have over time installed ssd's in all my computers and it does make a difference I have 2 in each computer. skse.ini change was good tip by the previous poster. Checking other players load order for mods that could cause save bloat is a start, If you have any of those just deactivate the ones your unsure of and see what happens, although I do not know if a bloated save scenario will show any evidence of slowing down, may need fresh game to gauge the effectiveness. Play up to 50 saves with current load order and make changes to your load order and try again. Trouble shooting is sometimes a slow process.
