First of All I have no Mods running and the following Major DLC: Sunset Invasion, Legacy of Rome, The Republic, Sword of Islam. (I bought the CK2 collection before Rajas/Old Gods/Abraham/Charlemagne existed.)

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate with a high quality SSD, 8GB of Ram at 2066(I think) MHz, Intel Core I5 2.6GHz Dual Core with hyperthreading enabled overclocked to 3.0GHz and my autosaves always take 10-12 seconds. Also, I dont think this matters but I have a 1GB Video Card with 96 CUDA cores at 650 MHz per.

This is the only game I have ever played where saving and loading screens do not fly by with my expensive SSD.

I only started playing shortly after the most recent update (2.2 I think) even though I had owned the game for months.So I cannot compare these findings to previous versions.

This wouldn't be as big a deal except I am somewhat of an achievement hunter and like to play on Ironman. I am also an old school strategy game player who doesn't use cheats/exploits/savescums. I play strategy games for a challenge because losing is fun.


Also, this may not be pertinent information but on Ironman my game saves every six months, on January 4th and July 4th. On the 1st of January and July the game hangs up for about 2 seconds, then lags onward to the 4th and proceeds to autosave.

So, my real questions are; Are there any settings I can change to improve autosave time?Could the problem be local ( having to do with my computer and not the game itself )? Or is the problem some unknown error to be corrected in a future patch?

Thank You for taking the time to read this, sorry about the verbosity but I am trying to provide any info that could matter. If any other info is needed I should be able to provide anything necessary. And this issue can be recreated easily since It happens every time the game autosaves, and I have played a campaign from 1066 to 1453 on Ironman with every autosave taking at least 10 seconds.

Are the autosaves going to your local folder or to the cloud? Whichever one, try the other.

And are they set to be compressed? Whichever they are, try the other.

I already tried both of those options. They had no noticable effect on autosave times.

Edit: I tried different combinations of these options and found a configuration that reduces autosave times to 6 seconds, which is still longer than I would expect with an SSD, but not as bad as before.
