PS3 LAG/CRASH bloated savegame bug on the pc version?

[AurelioMagherelli]

Hi guys, I just hit the 150 hours playing time and the 20mb savegame file size, around the same time, I checked prior/earlier savegames and the closest one hasn't hit either of those 2 marks.

 

NOW whenever I travel 500 m in an exterior cell the game crashes.

 

I didn't change any landscape textures or .ini settings in the meanwhile.

 

I had crashes before, but usually after some time of playing, never this frequently.

 

I'm in Whiterun, I exit the city, and as soon as I reach the bridge on the left after the meadery OR the trees to the right the game ctds.

 

Is it a coincidence or is there a 20mb/150 hours bug?

 

Also, I have alredy:

 

-LAAA patched the game

 

-not running patch 1.2

 

-running the latest enb

 

-set the volume windows option to 44.100 hz 16bit

 

-And tried the .exe with either +fullproc or without, no change.

 

I tried playing a bit with an old save like 35 hours in, and I get NO CTDS.

 

At least an half an hour roaming around.

 

Also, If I load savegame 145ish hours in I don't get the "ctd everytime the game loads a new exterior cell" bug.

I believe the game starts to lag and ctd on PS3 when the save file reaches 10-11mb.

 

It is possible the same happens on xbox and pc when it approaches 20-21 mb?

 

In fact I remember the first 60 hours of playthrough being smooth as silk with zero ctds. And very good framerate and loading times.

 

After that it started going downhill. I blamed the mods/ini tweaks.

 

 

I realise that most of you don't have this problem and I could be the exception.

I just want to shed some light on the issue since now I can't play anymore... so...

What do you think?

 

 

 

 

Thanks in advance.

With a new playthrough after 15 hours I have been having no issues whatsoever.

Zero Ctds.

I think, if we assume my savefile was indeed affected by the bug, it was due to having explored almost 90% of the world map at really low levels, without doing much questing either. So 60 or so hours later I started ctding badly.

Then at 20 mb savefile size the exterior cell/ctd ratio got to 1:1.
