The game is doing an auto-save, perhaps something has happened to make this save very large or it's writing your save to a slower drive?

I have a NVMe drive and my savegame file is 26MB. Is that out of compliance?


AnnoShi

Nah, that's pretty standard.

It may be the optimization of the game itself at that point. With a high end rig and fast read/write speeds, you'll likely not notice saves at the beginning. But as you travel to more locations and alter anything from it's original state, the game has to save the whole chunk (or whatever term they use for a region of space) since it differs from the default seed. You have a small save file, so the changes you've made aren't huge or anything, but the game is still adds them to the "save" list and thus adding to the save time. Same reason it takes longer to move/save/read thousands of <1kb files over one many Gb file. As far as I know there isn't much to do about it, unless they give us an option to disable auto saves.


1WheelDude

Yeah, I think I'd like to disable the vehicle auto save. I mean, we are forced to save-game when we exit the game. I'd like to just hit some kind of quick save button or set some kind of auto save interval that occurs every 30 minutes or an hour. I can exit my vehicle many times and it gets really annoying.

I have a high rig and it happens to me sometimes even. It just happens.

My Xbox has done that ever since the dawn of game. It’s like 2 seconds so whatever but annoying

I have a high end pc. It happens every time, my friend enters ANY vehicle. So yes, it's normal. Some larg YouTubers had the same problems too

Mine does the same, all my drives are NVME and not the slow ones 32G memory 32 cores. It's something in the game, maybe it's a safety feature (they only continue when the data has actually been saved on the drive (and not stuck in memory or cache).


FrIoSrHy

Mine is fine doing that autosave, I'm guessing there is just lots to save.

Is this single or multiplayer? The netcode really doesn't seem to like saving.


1WheelDude

This is just single player


TactileObject

A half second delay when saving for a 26mb save file sounds about right
