Size of saved games.

Went to play ETW yesterday and when I fired up my computer I got a critical memory message saying I only had 2.5MB of memory available.

I eventually found the saved games file, and during the early part of my campaign the files were around 10MB, but toward the middle they grew to 70MB and now toward the latter stages they are over 100MB.

Do I have something set wrong?

No, that sounds about right. The save game files are and need to be quite large because of all the data they hold.

Although, you may be getting mixed up between memory and disk space. Which was the message about, because they are very different things?
I suspect you mean disk space though so you might want to check that out. What size is your hard disk? 100MB isn't that big for a file these days. You may want to check out what else is eating up all your disk space.

Ooops, I meant disk space. Actually my laptop is a MacBook Pro, and I have a Windows partition that I use to run games that are not available for Mac OSX (like almost all), so the partition is only 25GB, and ETW takes up about 15GB all by itself. That only leaves me 10GB more for the operating system and all the other essential stuff.

So yeah, I ran out of space. I usually save just before every battle because I like to go back and replay them. But really how many times am I going to want to replay every battle? In the end I just deleted a bunch of old saves so I'm fine now.

I was just a bit surprised at the size of the saves.

Yes, it's been noticed before. It's simply a matter of keeping an eye on how many you build up. It's a shame that in-game there is no way to delete them. Do you have a USB memory stick you can put some on?
