Hey folks. I just managed to pick up Skyrim after swearing off games for about two years (school, work, etc.) I built a pretty good PC just so that I could get back into the swing of things on the right foot, but Skyrim is still causing me a heap of trouble.
So the problem is this: when I start a game, save and load times are fine. Quick, 2 seconds. They'll creep up to like 5 seconds or so over the course of playing, but when I manage to get a short ways through the game (like to levels 15-20), they inevitably jump to 2 minutes or more. This is consistent for saving manually, for autosaving, and for fast traveling, entering/exiting buildings, and sleeping/waiting as long as the autosave functions for those things are on.
I can tell you what the problem is (My saves are currently standing at around 65 MB (!), even though at level 20 I've barely done anything). My question is, how can I prevent this from happening? I've seen a lot of people talking about this but no actual solutions so far.
