beware of savefile stacking

well its seems this game has the same problem as the witcher 2 with the managing of savefiles

what problem you may ask ?

the save system of the witcher 2 idk why but when you had to much savegames like 1.7gb of saves the game will start to crash

so the same thing its happening with the witcher 3 (exterme carefull with death march players ) so they way to fix this is only to delete some old savefiles or keeping not much savestates (overwrting saves )

The game should only create a maximum of 10 autosave files, then start overwriting them. How many do you see?

it could be a steam cloud sync issue. 1gb storage only. i racked up 500mb in a single playthru.

This can cause not just crashing but also voice audio to cut out during a cutscene and never return. Deleting saves fixed it for me thankfully.

I think this is not about autosaves. I have (I just looked) around 800 MB of saves, around 760 different saves. I save often, and this has spared me many a frustration, and not because Geralt dies, but because of small problems, like quest stages of quests I had taken but not started, and then accidentally activated a quest stage. Or things I wanted to do differently, or problems with the game (no show stoppers, but small problems).
I make a full manual save with every important step in the game. I never regretted it, not in this game and not in many other CRPGs I played.

So the hint is valuable. I will probably have more than 1 GB of saves, because at this time I am level 20 and still in Novigrad doing quests there. But since I do not use Steam (*urghs*) or other systems to 'cloud' my saves, it will be easy to move some of the older saves to another location - thanks for the heads up.
