game crash while saving

Post by Stuffix »

My game keeps on crashing when saving(auto or manual). A message is telling me that an unexpected error occured.
The generated save file is corrupted because it's to big to open. (opening zip: [...] Result to large)

I can keep on playing and even save 1-2 times if i don't expand. But as soon as I do expand my base, the game will crash upon the next save.
I had this problem in 0.12; 0.13 and also in the latest experimental build.

You ran out of memory. 32-bit Windows programs are limited to 2 GB of RAM, and your factory is bigger than that.

If you don't mind achievements you can try to get undecorator mod - it will reduce the memory load/save file size till decorations are not fixed up by devs.

You also seem to have only 2GB of memory. Your save is getting into the stage where it won't fit in the memory anymore.
