Game crashes during saves

[varjot]

Hello,

Apparently there are people who have managed to play the game through or at least farther than I was able to.

I've encountered following error messages:

Vital Engine
Application encountered unrecoverable error and unable to continue. See details below:

Details are usual notes to code which doesn't reveal anything to uninitiated.

They appear during saving - doesn't matter if it was quicksave or regular.
Same message appear on vanilla version and patched and if crashing wasn't enough it corrupts the save game file it was saving to. I'm playing it under Win10 and tried also play with different compatibility modes with similar results.

These errors started to appear every third or so saving attempt at second village with Rodrigo and paramilitary base.

Any similar experiences and did you solve it somehow?

I had this error when the cash (like amount of transport, corpses, items lying on the ground, etc) of current session exceeded memory limit that one save can handle and game crashed with save corruption. The solution was just going away from the place like 3-4 km to make game despawn all dumping objects, then come back and save safely.

Same problem its making the game literally unplayable.
Would be very surprised if it was memory over flow as I'm at the point in the game where I've just got Ricardo car back so not caused many bodies transports E.T.C.

Crash log looks lie this for me.
