Saving takes forever

[Warkarma]

Hi,
I have a fairly simple scene with few simple materials, but it takes forever to save. It sort off freezes for around 25 seconds. This never happened before, it used to take about 2-3 seconds. Any ideas how to fix it?

I have upgraded to Win10 recently. My PC specs are above system requirements. I am running only Firefox, PureRef and Blender in the background.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks!

Could you try using the Save as option instead of save and see if future saves on that new copy go faster?

Hey Jerc,
I have tried it and it didn't change anything.

I have also noticed the file size of SPP is 4.7GB
The model FBX file size is 14.4 mb
The scene has 13 materials 4k baked textures (Normal, AO, etc). <--- Could this be the reason?

Thanks

Hello, i have the same problem :
"saving project" are staking and i will loose hours of work!
"Save as" changes nothing and just add another saving process
I have 10 "saving project" in the bottom of the screen ^^
I thought that every time I made a backup, but in fact nothing at all

My issue was the size of the project. It's just way too much materials. Try to split your project into chunks.
