SirSmokalot002 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Hey everyone. Im thinking of starting the DLC for Skyrim but im concerned that my save file will be too big to be able to enjoy it properly. At the moment the main game freezes after about 30 mins of playing forcing me to reboot the game to fix it. Does the update fix that problem? My save is 16mb and clocked 340 hours playtime. Wondering what everyone else is playing the DLC at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecto69 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) Mine is 12-13mb and the other is around 5-6mb The Updates do indeed help with the issue, the save file stops getting larger at some point, mine has been at 12mb for a long time. The 12-13 has about 260 hours on it almost all game quests done. OK so there are possible many more as there are places I have not been on the map, however no quests in log, just those map updated places from heard conversations.

luke077 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) My save is 12MB with 170 hours. I never had the freezing problem that you are talking about though. (with the exception of occasional freezing the first 2 months after the game was released) Edited February 15, 2013 by luke077 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yasgard Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 14 megs, 180 hours, games just crashed on me early in DLC, about 45 minutes in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious Gargoyle Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 12 Mb. Haven't many many issues at all really apart from a glitched quest in the civil war storyline. If you diligently maintain 2 or 3 save files at rotating intervals it isn't too bad. Although there seems to be a fair bit of delay (up to 15-20 seconds during autosaving and changing areas).

Rhysss Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 14MB and 170 hours...some small frame rate issues started at 13 MB but not game breaking. Game is 10000x more stable now than at launch. I have had a few freezes, ps3 dump outs, and long lags but these happen maybe once every 3 hours max. Save often! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving On Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Just got to 14MB this weekend. I haven't checked to see my current play time after the DLC, but after the main game it was around 120-130 hours. I have the occasional lag spike here and there, but nothing too serious.

felatio Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) My initial paladin is 9mb at 105 hours my current wizard is sitting at 12mb and 140 hours. I got the ability to ride dragons last night and it wasn't even laggy while I was flying around attacking other dragons and shit, it was only absolutely epic! I've never had any issues with freezing tho, besides the occasional one that comes after playing for like 9 hours straight lol and that's happened to me with many games Edited February 17, 2013 by felatio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldskoolrave Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 15mb so far after 300+ hours. Had a few lag problems but only in high populated areas. Still loads to do & things to kill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deceiver Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 11MB with 2/3 of the DLC done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious Gargoyle Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 14 Mb - 150 hours. Still have a long way to go to grind to level 70+ for the legendary dragon and complete werewolf and vampire perks. After prolonged playing A LOT of framerate issues and Lag (framreate drops to less than 1 fps:mad:). I can still count the number of freezes on one hand though. The problem is that when it does, it forces my PS3 to do a system restore upon restarting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElfenSky Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 14MB and 330 hours Damn guys, how do you manage a file so small? I'm on 200hrs and have a save file of 17Mbs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo76 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 My save file is 16mb now, and takes an age to load. got a good couple of hundred hours of playtime and all 3 dlc's played too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecto69 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) Damn guys, how do you manage a file so small? I'm on 200hrs and have a save file of 17Mbs... My 300+ hour level 66 (created in 2011) is currently 15mb , I need to sell a bunch of stuff and do cleanup. My first character created 11/11/11 has 10mb save and 178 hours of play on it When you sell stuff and keep houses in clean shape it helps keep file small. I actually moved most stuff out of the Breezehome, took all food and content out to see if that helps, it seems to at least with load times in and out of the house. Also if you clean up arrows and other stuff after fights (I do some not always) I don't display many items in houses, even though I own all of them including the Heartfire ones Another thing that might help is if you make a new manual save and do not over write an older save file. This helps clean up the save data. My Newest save (latest patch) on Xbox is 12mb and has 200 hours on it, mainly played the Dawnguard and Heartfire DLCs only and quests needed to play the DLC Edited March 21, 2013 by ecto69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormer90 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I just recently hit 13 mb as soon as I started the dragonborn DLC. I think it is starting to lag a little. It seems like just some studdering It is kinda bumming me out since it is all downhill from here. However, maybe it was always there, and am now just realizing it. I am level 63, but I still have a ways to go to get that legendary dragon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanehi185 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 At 12 mb I didn't have any problems. Making sure not to leave a lot of junk laying around helps out quiet a bit with lag and Freezeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerserkerBR Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Legendary Edition. All DLCs installed. Stuff stored at Whiterun house, like special weapons/armors and money. Total = 17,6 Mb (hole game done). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEER MONSTER Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 On 7mb at the moment, but I not very far into the game at all. Have started only keeping the items that I need, rather than hoarding everything like I was. Making lots of saves and doing the usual precautions. Hopefully it'll all stay running smoothly.
