it's unreal in fact I'm going to fix the issue with large saves crashing a load yo no maybe not, it depends but one thing actually it's a good good thing you brought it up though I actually don't know if that's the case, on crashing a load it is potentially going to, because it depends it depends because here's why in unreal and in update a we are updating the way, saves our archived it doesn't make much sense but, we're upping the support for for eign structure a little bit not like the save structure but like how the say structure is archived which has support for bigger archives essentially there's been a couple of folks that I've managed to like go over because we used to have like a limit of like a gig within the archive and some people manage to go over that we don't know how we found out on the QA side, and we now have better support for that, it's it's it's also a point that should have been brought up why you should back up your saves because the archiving has increased from a 32, damn it I'm trying to find the the email this was explained, because right now I'm just giving you guesses what the actual change was but okay tldr like something with the safety has changed because there were a couple of folks that were having issues when they were trying to save or load where it would exceed some some value within the save structure that value was like we theoretically didn't think it was possible but some people managed to do it, so like if if when you're loading a save file and the issue is because of that it should work in update 8. it could also be the case that the reason why you're crashing on load is because you're exceeding your like memory on the GPU your vram then there's nothing we can do you have to upgrade your vram is the only way to fix that, because that can happen and that's happening a lot currently internally, which, but we're trying to fix that yes all right let's see here download more vram exactly
