After alot of saves (130 ish) the game will freeze/ load very slowly

[WaffleFlopp]

SPECS

• CPU ryzen 9 5900x
• GPU 4080
• 32gb ddr4 RAM

 

This has happened with 2 campaign slots at this point and after 130 saves** everything will load slow, e.g. loading from the vab to launch will freeze the game for a few minutes before getting to the pad, opening the map will freeze everything for a minute or so, quicksaving will freeze the game for a minute or so. Prior to this I never had to wait more than a few seconds to load anything. Starting a new campaign slot everything runs and works fine in said campaign slot.

**The issue may not be because of alot of saves - in both campaigns that runs slow i loaded an old save and played from that and that might be what causes the problem.

 

VIDEO OF PROBLEM

- First campaign loaded is one with very few saves and works fine

- Second campaign loaded is the broken one

 

WHAT I HAVE TRIED:

• Verifying game files
• Deleting 100+ of the saves
• GPU is up to date
• Have checked all the save file sizes for the broken campaign and they are their usual size, no large ones

FOUND A TEMPORARY* SOLUTION. 

---------------------------

 

---------------------------

The TravelLogData part of the save file was massive, please fix intercept.

*Temporary as overtime the same will happen you just need to keep deleting it over and over.

There is also this (still just ‘temporary’ but perhaps easier to do) utility on SpaceDock:

Savefile editor, not a ‘true mod’
