JackTrenton Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I played New Vegas for so long on PC that eventually my saves became so enormous that it would take like 5-10 minutes to load them. If I remember, I hit that point when the save size exceeded 20 mb. I never had that problem with Fallout 3 (on xbox 360) despite over 600 hours of game play. I am a completionist who likes to explore every single area and finish every quest I can. I want to squeeze as much content out of it as I can and level up as far as I can, so I'm hoping this won't be an issue with Fallout 4. I'm on PS4. My game play time has reached 16 days and 7 hours. My saves were stuck on 10 mb for the longest time, but now they are starting to grow. I'm currently at just over 17 mb and I was at 16 mb just a few days ago, so it seems to be growing pretty quickly. Load times aren't too bad yet. I was just wondering how big everyone's saves are and if anyone has ran into any issues with load time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceGoober Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Current saves are around the 24.5MB range and my game runs just fine. Take into account I have 280 mods with 200 active plugins installed it is impressive when compared to Fallout 3 save system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorByte Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Same here, cept actually maxed out at limit of 266 mods active and have to delete one before can add another. Save files are a pain, thats for sure. Even with great hand-built system, do have troubles with certain things. Actual number of saves recorded is limited no matter what size, your newest save just overwrites your oldest when maxed.... well worth noting. I have found on load times and such though, there are tricks that can help. Example... Spectacle Island I have 174 settlers, 14 floor HUGE warehouses, Nightclub to rival Hard Rock Cafe, etc.... yeh, I have started lagging while on the island due to simply to many object references. Loading a game into the island takes quite awhile but found that if I travel to another settlement that aint real big and then save. I can reload the game quickly to that save. Granted, if I then fast travel right back to the Island its gonna take forever to load but alot of time I might choose to go elsewhere which is 10x faster. I actually built Sanctuary so overgrown with stuff that cant even go there now, just instant freeze. Save files gonna build up no matter what ya do, but deleting redundant ones and minimizing will help alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RattleAndGrind Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Last save 27,700kb. Load times are pretty good, 15 - 45 seconds, depending on last save location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
