Saves

[LtRhapthorn]

Basically, when loading saves on my FalloutNV game I lag, and lag is very bad thing on my system, it makes crashes 50 times as likely. This affects me when I have more than say, 300-350 saves. Unfortunatly, due to the laggy nature of my game, I have to save often to avoid data loss. If I delete the saves found in My Documents\My Games\FalloutNV\Saves, up untill my current save, leaving the autosaves alone, will I get any long-lasting negative effects? Thanks for any help given.

you can move them someplace safe instead

then if you really need

you have them to fall back upon

So, just to clarify, it would have no long/short-term negative effect at all?

you mean like

 

that fatman you left in your vegas house would vanish because a previous save was gone

 

or

 

that you couldn't sleep at night because the security of 350 previous saves was not at your fingertips

 

 

 

 

I really don't understand your question

I mean like the game won't corrupt itself or explode or not ever function again.

Still need a definate answer on this please.

I keep a maximum of 50 games in my Save game directory - any more than that and it takes longer and longer to Load/Save a game and increases the possibility of a crash. Like Fonger said, just move your older saves into a seperate directory and unclutter your save game dir - it will definitely speed up the Load/Save process. I've been doing it that way since Morrowind with no issues at all. Matter of fact it has saved my bacon many times (including yesterday).

Excellent, thanks for the help.
