Co-save bloating

[past79]

Hi,

 

my cosave (.skse) keeps drastically increasing in size, from 15-20 MB (what I would consider as "normal") about two weeks ago, and now is already at ~260 MB. There were multiple points where it would roughly just double it's size.

 

I've looked at the files in a hex editor and found a huge chunk of just hex "20 30"s (" 0") in it, initialy (exactly) 16 MB, then 32, 64, 128 and now 256. Which I can only assume as left over garbage (or maybe a mod initializing?), that for some reason keeps doubling. Which I also assume is my fault for messing around with mods mid playthrough 😅

 

With the help of S.L.A.C.K.'s profiling function, I was able to trace it back to "papyrusutil plugin", taking almost 12 seconds to load it's data from the cosave, while all others were in the ms range (most well below 1 ms). Any ideas how to trace it further? As far as I know, papyrusutil (among other things) stores data for other mods using it, right?

 

Any thoughts appreciated... 🙂
