Saving and loading times take much longer

[Ostrich-Hungry]

Hey, I don't know what I can do to fix this problem, but since yesterday my savegame started to take like 10 seconds to save or load respectively. If I start a new game, it works as expected with saving/loading times immediately.
Weirdest thing is loading savegames from before this problem doesn't fix anything, since it has the same delay.
Anyone has one idea about what is happening? I remember saving and loading A LOT of times before this problem, since I was trying to see something, but It can't be the issue since older saves would work as usual... right?

The longer you play, the bigger your save file becomes... This is mostly due to soldier diaries (which can be turned off if it becomes a problem).

I solved it reinstalling it, and changing the game to same-disk savegame folder (previously, savegames were stored at (C:) and game was installed at (D:). Now they are both on (C:) and it works as usual!
Thanks!

No problem - although I didn't actually help

Are they physically different drives? Or you divided one physical drive in separate ones?

It would make sense in the former.

On Linux I call I run the game with:
./OpenXcomEx -config ./user

This puts all the config, saves, etc inside a user folder inside the game itself. I never liked the idea of throwing saves, mods and configurations all over the computer.

For Windows you can create a .bat file with
OpenXcomEx -config .\user
and it should do the same.
