162) BUG: autosave size

[Brownbeard]

autosave size

the size of my autosave expanded from 9.5mb to 34.5mb between two autosaves(10 months) sometim in 1210.-s

is it a bit too much new data in just 10 months, naturaly, the save time lasts much longer now

please send a zipped copy of the small one and the large one to kurtbrian at tiscali.dk

Is it in 1.02 ?

Is anyone having the same problem able to send up two zipped saves somewhere (before/after inflation) ?

What would be a normal size for which year?
What I have got (game not loadable anymore):

1083 - 8.28 MB
1104 - 11.8 MB
1134 - 18.1 MB
1150 - 19.5 MB
1155 - 20.4 MB

Last one is not loadable (freezes at 'initializing scripts') but since I have over 300 titles it is not really something I haven't expected.

Well 34 Mb save in 1210 is pretty normal, in fact quite normal. What is not normal is having a 9.5Mb save in this year. It is impossible I think, short of killing off 10.000 other char.
Maybe you disabled autosave for 120 years?? or it is a autosave from another game?.... a 9Mb save would lay about the year 1090-95.

Each year addes roughly 200Kb to the save, so half though the game you should have a save about 40Mb - by the end of the game 80-90Mb - and that is EACH save! (start 1066)
