Very slow save

[[UNQL]Tango]

The save game function suddenly slowed down. it takes about 30 seconds to do a save. Anyone else experienced this?

I actually lost a day progress, because I just hit F5 for quicksave, then a few seconds later Alt+F4 as usual and next time I was back at start of the Abbey section (at least I could look smarter in the book club...)

sounds like a problem with your hdd/ssd or another thing active on the computer making them slow

It was like this for me when I was still running the game through the launcher.

I have 90+ hours in the game and I experienced this slowness only today. The game is on a fast SSD. I don't use the 2K launcher.

i've never tried fast save so cant really help you then, always save from the menue (like once per session ~5h)

Same problem for me

Does it do a new quicksave every time you hit F5? Could be you've hit a limit with the cloud or something like that.

Saves can be slow on PS5 as well. Not all the time, just occasionally. I'm of the theory its less about the drive speed and more about them connecting to their servers. Mainly because I got hit with it during what I'd consider peak hours.

Have similar issue. Sometimes it goes quickly and some times it takes almost a minute. The actual game runs smoothly except the initial logos stuttering.

Any fix? Game keeps crashing

[[UNQL]Tango]

I didn't have any crashes. Also, the save problem kind of got solved, as I finished the game, so I don't have to save any more.

For me it's not only the fast save game that takes long but ordinary save from menu to. One thing I have noted is that when the game tries to save the cpu usage spikes to 80%+ from a comfortable 20-30% on max settings. This cpu usage usually last 20-30s and makes the fan on my pc go haywire. The game is on a high speed M.2 SSD drive so that should not be the problem.

Happened to me too. Depends on when and where you save I guess. I never use quicksave. It usually takes a couple of sec to save but when I was in the Abby while doing the wanda chapel mission it took forever to make a save. This game is weird.

Steam, 16GB RAM, SSD, Intel i7 3GHz, saves are super slow.

I used to think it was RAM memory usage so I kept making sure the game had as much of the 16GB as possible (by closing all apps especially Google Chrome windows). But it seems like maybe with the Venom DLC, all saves are slow no matter how much RAM I make sure is free.

I'm at the final mission so maybe it's just how many cards, resources, etc. I have.

Happens to me too.

I figured that if I have a lot of saves it takes longer to save. So I delete my excess saves when I encounter a slow save and it seems to fix it. Could be a coincidence though.

I having the same issue since the last update.
