Bug Fix Bounties - $1000

Wow! Fantastic to see one got nailed down already!

I haven't played in a while, but as soon as I installed Chapter Two and had the new quest going - long saves exactly as you described, around 70 seconds the first time. Actually thought the game had frozen before I remembered your post so waited it out, and sure enough, it finished and the game continued about its merry business as if nothing had happened. FWIW to any bughunters better at this than I, I noticed it didn't seem to matter if it was an autosave, a manual save, or either of these triggered by something else (the game's own autosave, hotkeys for either, etc.).

Disabling autosaves helps reduce a lot of the long saves and long fast travels. But it sounds like they are super close to figuring this out so hopefully it won’t be an issue in the near future either.

I actually have very few game-triggered autosaves, I'm on Survival mode. I have one hotkey that triggers and autosave (only really use it for testing) and one that triggers a normal new-slot save via console call.

Edit: aaand of course, since I thought I'd try to take a peek at the issue, after happening twice early on..... it has not happened since. Every save has completed in under 3 seconds.

I’m not a survival fan so I don’t know to much about the save system there. But 70 seconds ain’t bad a few folks have seen like 20 min saves. I just know on mine autosaves seemed to be a big issue so no autosaves helps, but I’m lazy so I end up dying and loosing like a hour of play a lot.

"only" 70 seconds would be a reasonable time... too long for most folks though.

worst i've seen was a bit more than 2 hours... enough time to watch some YTs on my second monitor.

i dare to say, most would have simply terminated the application cuz they ran out of patience.

Thank you, but my puny 2 Hours are not the record... i've read somwere someone had it save for an entire night...

Yeah I had that once. Save started around 22 in the evening and wasn't finished at around 6 the next morning so pulled the plug on that one.
 
Can we save this thread for actual updates on the bug? It's disappointing to see there's new posts in here but they're not related to progress on fixing it. :(
