My most recent save file's playtime is 68:44, this is the one at 8,191KB. I periodically delete saves that are extremely old, but I had held onto maybe the previous 10 manual saves just out of paranoia for things like this. I never went back to finish the main quest.

I reached the point of no return maybe 30 hours in, turned away and started doing everything else I could. At this point, my most recent working save is 8,191KB, so I'm largely stuck from progressing unless I find a way to reduce the file size. The symptoms are a perfect match, and I didn't even think to check my save files at all, but it's the same issue with saves that are 8,192KB or larger. This is the first thread that actually matches up to my problem exactly. 60 hours down the drain unless it's fixed, I'll save me time for now and play something else. Testing a few things out but as of now I don't feel like wasting any more time until it's fixed. I also it may be tied to the amount of money as well. I've tried every 'Fix' that's been listed as a solution on other threads, no luck. I'd imagine this becomes more of an issue as people get further into their playthroughs. I noticed the long 30-60 second black screens before I really started getting into churning the craft/disa, probably just from disassembling everything I ever picked up from the start so it's not like really grinding out mats is the only way to run into the issue. All six of the broken are 8MB exactly in size, the playable are under or around 7.9MB, so almost there. I've been doing crafting/disassembling and this issue has come to play.Ĭurrently I have 6 unplayble saves, and 4 playable. Funny enough, I have the exact same problem and came to the exact same conclusion. Just created an account to comment on having this same issue.
