Tmax98 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) Somehow, Skyrim saves are getting messed up. I've experienced it and saw another forum post about it. Simply put, at a certain point, save files(viewable in the Your User/My Documents/My Games/Skyrim/Saves) are increasing in size far much than they should. I've seen 20 minutes add 2 MB onto a save file, and 2 hours add 20 MB. Something happens, and I don't what, that makes saves suddenly start increasing in size dramatically. For instance, my main save file was being added up at reasonable increments. Suddenly, I see a difference between two saves that are only 13 hours apart of 21 MB. While a previous save can be seen at 29 hours and another seen at 78 and there's only a 3 MB difference. It gets worse, I started a new game and only 2 hours in I was experiencing chronic freezes, lo and behold the save file was at over 140 MB. 2 hours in with that much information? Something's up, and it's causing CTDs(Crashes to Desktop) and chronic freezes. I even deleted my whole Skyrim folder in the My Games directory and fully reinstalled, and the problem still seems to persist. I played a new game and 11 hours it was already at 39 MB, another two hours have added 20 MB. I assure you I didn't doing practically everything the game has to offer in those 13 hours. It's not like I have a lot of mods, with all my mods activated I have about 90 plugins. My new save is running with about 60. If anyone has any sort of solution to this, please do tell. Something is up. Edited July 19, 2012 by Tmax98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M48A5 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 If you are using Sounds of Skyrim, deactivate it and uninstall it. There a problem with the mod. The mod author is working on a solution. In the meantime, he said to uninstall the mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tmax98 Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 Wow, so that worked with the save file thing. File size dropped way down, hopefully the tiny chronic freezes will stop soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmax98 Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) Okay so scratch that, the files are going way up again. When I first took off SoS it went down like from 59 MB to 16 MB(still too large compared to my original game save size, but still less) but now another 3 hours and its up to 34 MB. I'm still having the short freezes fairly constantly, and now they're now even longer than before. Edited July 19, 2012 by Tmax98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
