Quicksave taking a long time (even after import)

Here is the save where quicksaves take forever. didn't happen before this latest patch, if it was taking too long an import would usually turn it to nothing, but now they take longer than ever and importing doesn't change the save time at all.

Im also having random lag spikes not loading related. Like, i might pause the game, unpause 2 mins later and have freeze up for 30 seconds unpausing.

Makes it nearly unplayable.


ALso had the following crash during one of these lagspikes

Fixed the save time. The backup saves had excess files collecting in them. Should clear up after a few saves.

Can't reproduce the random spikes. Do they still happen if you are doing nothing at all? how frequently? are they always about 30 secs? Does the LOADING message appear during the spikes?

yay for the save bug fix

Loading does seem to appear when this happens. When it happens they are always the same amount of time, but my estimation skills are poor so its probably anywhere from 30 secs to 1 min.

They do still happen if you do nothing at all... however, i've been unable to reproduce it since it happened except in one circumstance, which is:
1. 5 people on other side of the map
2. Two people inside the northernmost trader outpost (not a city)
3. pause for some time, unpause and it will be frozen for


The rare circumstances do make it much less of a problem than i thought it was while it was happening though.
