I play on normal sized mountanious map. For a few irl days ma savegame was fine, I uninstalled Real FoW mod, beacuse I thought it causes my saves to take a lot of space. Turns out it wasn't the case. After playing for 4 quadrums on my map, one day suddenly my save now takes up 856 mb (Usually tay take around 5 mb or so). Is it some kind of glitch? Can it be mod related? I have opened savegame with notepad (Notepad++ just crashes, when confronted with such big text file) and it is litttered with fighting logs. Can I delete those? What to should I do? ;c
Another user report about long loading times from a safegame.

He didn't say anything about his filesize.
But maybe you got alot of dead pawn's at your safegame too.
If you don't use RuntimeGC allready

And with Toggles you prolly can turn off some of these logs.

RuntimeGC, like Canute says is your answer.

Clean up combat logs, and you should be alright again. I had a similar issue with the size, just not more than 50mb per file, and this dropped them down to around 15, and a significantly improved loading time. Would recommend.
Yeah the problem was with Alpha Animales. One of the mobs(bed bug to be precise) glitched up and logged over one million combat log entries. I had opened savefile with notepad and found the issue.
