i only ever keep 2 saves max of a campaign anyway. so, unless i do everysingle faction and save for each of them, ill be fine.
on a side-note: did you check whether a late-game save is larger tha a turn-1 save?

I had a Supreme Commander savegame that was 1.5 GB.

I deleted 456 files and still have 36 saved.
Thanks for the head up!
I really was running out of space on my hard drive...now I know why, at least partly.

This is not something new. The same thing was present in RTW and M2TW. The difference is that in previous games those saves were small and you didn't notice when they got bigger in the end.

Yeah, it makes sense that they get larger - it doesnt make sense that they are that big either at the beginning or the end of the game. I mean, even if theyre saved in bloody XML and theyve stored historical data of every turn so far - how on earth do they manage to use up hundreds of megabytes? It's beyond me frankly.![]()
If you ever need a clear sign of the map technology jump then this is it.
You've got a digitised map with a million times a million references. This is the result.
If someone programs an AI to deal with that, then let me know an I'll be able to place you with a
military contractor in about 24 hours.
That, or down the road at Cern in Geneva.
Save games on XP machines can be found here: C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Application Data\The Creative Assembly\save_games or here C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Application Data\The Creative Assembly\Empire\save_games
No idea why there are two locations, unless its been changed by a patch. The first location seemed to contain mostly RTI saves the second Grand Campaign saves.
