Question About Saved Game Files

PJNagrom · December 13, 2002, 09:20

I notice the manual saves I make during a game create files that are about 200-300kb in size. I also noticed the Autosaves create files between 2-3MB in size. Does anyone know, or have a good theory about the difference?

What's in the autosave that's missing from the manual save?

Manual autosaves are automatically compressed, while automatic autosaves are kept uncompressed for speed reasons.
