is there a way to fix saved game bloating?

[Asenath]

i only have issues when trying to enter some or fallout interiors like old north church or Faneuil Hall or Haymarket Mall or Hubris Comics or Park Street Station and others is there a way to fix the infinite loading screens? and yes infinite loading screens only thing i am able to do is ctrl-alt-delete

Same here, but no fix ever.....

Open the console, and type; Save <game name>. Then delete all the saves associated with that character (except the one you just made). Now when you save, it should be quicker and help reduce load times. And disable ALL autosave options, you're going to have to rely on quicksaves.

Blame Bethesda for this, the engine they are using is the same they have been using for decades, and all the games they have made with it suffer from the same bloating problem.

Have a look at the first post here: http://www.darkcreations.org/forums/topic/3752-skse-cleans-invalid-scripts-from-old-mods/
It's from Skyrim though, but since it's the same game mechanics, it might still work, haven't tested it yet...

yea... use hard saves and dont use quicksaves
quicksaves always been and always will be dangerous and unpredictable on any game that uses this engine

that's a known fact since Oblivion
nothing has been improved in that regard by Bethesda

like Joe said "this engine needs to be taken outside and shot!"

SSD. Fixed.

Instead of deleting older saves, I suppose you could create a new folder on the drive and move them there for a safe location?

Just wondering, how are the saves affecting moving from one map to the other? I don't have any trouble loading any save game, ether quick, or full save. I usualy do a quick, and a full save, one after the other.

No idea. It's just one of the many "quirks" with the game's old engine.

Save corruption causes game to act up in various weird ways when loading that save
but usualy the main sign of a corrupted save is when you constantly CTD in spots you never had problems before yet same spots you visit from a different save work fine even with same mods and game settings

had that happen many times in New Vegas and sometimes in Fallout 3 and Skyrim
and i hear it happens sometimes in F4 not surprising because its same engine just "improved" a little

and i had this usualy happen with Quick Saves
this is usualy why i avoid Quick Save option and just use Hard saves or eventualy Auto saves

I FIGURED OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THE CRASHES!!! At least the crashes when you enter a building or a new area like Good neighbor . 95% sure. I crashes when I sneak through a transitional doorway. It never crashes when I stand up. The rest of you guys will have to check yourselves to verify. Stop sneaking into buildings. It should stop the crashes.

Humm, I haven't had an infinite loading in months, and only two total ever. Make sure you don't download textures that are too big for the amount of VRAM and RAM you have, plus keep a large page file (this is what Windows and the game uses as a third RAM) which you can do by changing your Windows settings. I have 32GB allocated.

I almost always sneak while going through doors but haven't had any issues with that so I don't know. A CTD in a particular place almost always means that there is some conflicting script or script that is trying to load some asset that might have been modified by another mod and is no longer there. I used to get a good deal of CTDs, but I re-installed a lot of my mods and removed some that were especially script heavy for no reason and made worldspace changes for no reason. Since the last few updates (about a month), I've had one CTD in total. The game is more stable than ever for me.

You should always use LOOT for mod order sorting, and read the descriptions and posts about any mod you install. Some mods are made by rookie modders who have accidentally done things they shouldn't have and were discovered by mod users who posted. Usually they are corrected in an update.

I don't have any mods yet. Now, I cannot seem to get into some buildings at all after today's update! They seem to have made sure it was broken for anyone with an older video card! I think they take money from nvidea to break with older cards to make sure everybody keeps buying up to date cards! I will just have to lower my resolution even farther, because I can't afford to buy a new motherboard/CPU, ram, and video card right now......

Looks like someone is trying to level up "Conjuration"
I suggest Skyrim forums instead if you want to perform Necromancy.
