Huge Saved Game File

Fearless · 08-10-08, 07:03 PM

Greetings,

This is a first for me. Normally the biggest saved game I'v had was around 5 Mb but now for some unknown reason the latest file size is 875 Mb and growing :hmm:

Anyone else had this happen?

My mods are

PE, RFB v1.5, RSRDC latest.

When you save, are you also clicking on the box labeled "REPLAY"?

It's saving your patrol as a video file that you can replay.

Negative, I never tick the Replay button but will check it though.

Thanks for the response.

every time you save on the same name in the same patrol = file is growing. One time ~ 1 MB. Mine normally is ~ 2 MB, but one time was ~ 8 MB. I saved ~ 6 times one the same name on the same patrol.

If that is what is happening maybe you need to change your saving ways or one day you'll perhaps lose a whole Patrol..maybe career.

I was saving, over and over, under the same name each time like "Patrol 1" for example.

Then one day the last save would not reload.

The forum concensus was that multiple saves under the same name was at fault. I started naming each save with a unique name ("patrol 1 a", "patrol 1 b", ect.) and never had a reload save problem since. True...I have lots of saves to delete with each new patrol but it is worth it for me.

Just a friendly suggestion.

Known problem, check the RFB and RSRDC threads. That seems to pop out once in a while, though I think they've almost solved it(=it occurs quite rarely). You might want to tell the RFB team the details(sub, date, location, career starting time, etc) to help them hunt down the cause.
