Savegames of 150 MB?

[unmerged(12759)]

I am playing the 1939 scenario with the USSR. At first savegames are +/- 6 MB, then they steadly rise to 10-15 MB. Then within a month, I saved 3 times: 25 MB - 75 MB - 153 MB. Is this normal? Because of these enormous sizes everything goes very slow as well.
My PC: Athlon 1.2 GHz with 512 MB SD RAM.

OK, I found the utility to fix this. Thanks anyway.

Savegames of 150mb?

I have the save problem as Dark Templar mentioned - growing savegame files and some slowdown too. He mentioned he found a utility which solved it. Any give me an idea where it may be? I have a PIII - 750Mhz machine with 256 Meg SD RAM if that helps. Thanks.

Thanks Dark Templar. I'll give it a try - I was in early 1945 with Republican Spain and seeking world domination fighting Japan, having already beaten Italy and Germany!

Yup there is a sticky thread in the main forum that describes the work around.

This is fixed in 1.04.
