Re: Connection interrupted during single player campaign

Yep, I see that it's a freeze and not a crash, though when the disk I/O settles down the engine/UI doesn't resume.

Oof. I see. This is most likely due to the game saving a screenshot of the whole screen with every savegame. This probably also means that playing in a higher resolutions takes more time and space for the savegames since the saved preview is probably also larger.

I've reported this odd disk space usage issue internally already; it makes no sense for a huge image to be saved for a tiny thumbnail in the UI. Not to mention, it overloads the available cloud sync space when quick saving often.

That would explain why auto-saving takes a noticeable delay. (It tends to be pretty seamless in most games.)

I'm playing at 1440p, that'd be considerably big to PNG. Particularly in a game like this with FREQUENT auto-saves. 🙂

Thanks for mentioning it upstream.

I've noticed this also appears when you accumulate a large number of saves. -- This briefly pops up when clicking "Load".

Yea, just... make sure to regularly clean out older savegames, I guess :-\

In that case it would be a good feature to be able to tick multiple saves and delete them as a batch. Deleting them individually takes a long time, and deleting them from your local disk manually does nothing as Steam Cloud will bring them all back.
