Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) Technical Problems Crash when I quickload after death.

I've noticed that after I die, if I hit quickload (a habit I picked up from DD), the game will lock up EVERY time to the point I have to end task & restart. Does anyone else have this problem? Also it seems that my savegames seem to be taking up an extraordinary amount of harddrive space. Once I made 5 quicksave files, I saw my hard drive drop 300+ megs. Is this supposed to be? Just checkin to see if anyone else has encountered this stuff as well.

Indeed, I get that as well. Well, I used to, since now I just hit Escape and then load a save. I think the death message actually suggests this method, though I could be mistaken.

Saves in Beyond Divinity and Divine Divinity are famously large. They get larger as you progress: by the end of the first act mine average 50 Mb each, so it does add up. Nothing to be done about it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" />

I have not had any problems quick loading after dying.
The saved game folders are quite compressible, so you can zip older saves you still want to keep around to free up space (do not zip the 'Bd_act#_start' folders).

I have no problem quick-loading after death (sadly a far-too-frequent event!) but I do find the save/load times get slower and slower as the game progresses.

I had the same thing in Divine Divinity too, and just assumed it was because I'd explored more of the game world so there was more to save, but it seemed to happen from quite early on this time.

The save game size goes up once you have visited the battlefields, but I never noticed that having a big impact on load times.
