We are still experiencing the 16mb memory limit on Xbox console. When we restart the Xbox console we respawn at a point two days ago. Can someone at Keen please address this serious systemic issue on Xbox and report back to us end users? Today's date is 20200508.

Perhaps you are playing on a pre made scenario such as Never Surrender? Try doing a custom scenario, you should be able to go a lot bigger than 16mb. From what I've seen, scenarios like Red Ship, Never Surrender, can only go to a certain size where you can no longer save anymore. Most likely a bug. Hope that helps!

I am hosting Duke's game, we are playing Custom(Star System) and have 2 saves, one on earth and one on Mars, both hit 16MB and will not save and have become unplayable.

Yep, checked my corrupt saves and it's once they hit 16mb. Even tried loading up one below 16mb then pushing it past that threshold. It does seem to be 100% repeatable. Any news on an update for this?

Hello guys,

16 MB limit is a purpose but you should not hit this limit (it is a bug). We are investigating it.

Same. I was loving the game and I'm looking forward to getting back to it but I can't find a reason to load it up again until this is resolved. It sounds like the devs are on the case so fingers crossed for a speedy patch.

Anyone found a workaround of any kind yet?

The patch notes are on the main screen. Good to see the stuttering has been fixed!

In case it helps anyone else, I found a temporary workaround. I went into the entities list and sorted them by size. It turns out there were a LOT of quite large destroyed enemy drones grids that my turrets had shot down. I removed these (I didn't want to remove any active enemy structures or grids but that'd work too). Just from removing the dead drones, I saved 3mb meaning that while I obviously can't add much to the world without it going back over the 16mb limit, it does mean the level saves, I can have a tidy up, try some things out etc. while the issue gets fixed.

Ive done that for about a week and in the end you have nothing more to delete, so its not a workaround its just delaying of starting a new game

No problem, you're welcome. :)

Greetings! I've also encountered this limit with a 15.8MB save - strange b/c it's a couple hours in with only 47177/50000 PCU (cargo, refinery and 2 assemblers with an incomplete small grid ship). The one thing I changed from previous custom games was to increase the frequency and intensity of meteorites. Hope this helps and it get's resolved.

Fun game, and like others posting couldn't afford the a PC powerful enough for that version, but it is frustrating when it stops permitting progress as such.

Hoping for the best, thanks. Cheers!

The problem is voxel changes. I had a user digging through a mountain as deep as possible, and laying a line of unfinished armor blocks. Once he got deep enough, the file size got to 16mb then crashed the game. I loaded upnin single player, deleted his faction, and that dropped 3 mb off the file size. Game is saving again.

Any updates on this?

Yep. Still the same here too. I've deleted everything I can delete now. It's a shame because I was really enjoying it. I'm sure they're doing their best to fix it. I'll give it a break for now and probably come back to it in a few months and see if it's sorted then.

We started working on it (finally). Please be patient. I will let you know with every update.

Thanks for understanding.

Fixed in 194.518. We have tweaked the Voxel Removal behavior. All affected worlds should be ok now, you can finally use the Save function (again) without error messages. IMPORTANT: An error message will appear only after the first load. You can skip it and re-save / re-publish your world as normal.

Just to be sure. Are you able to save your game? If yes, it is a different problem.

Another error message? Please provide a screenshot.

Unable to send a screenshot or attach a picture at the moment... the game did save but only when I exit to main menu and save that way but when i reload my last save or continue game an error message appears reading " you have no registered saved games. Your progress cannot be loaded".

It looks like a different problem. Could you please create a new thread on this XBOX support? Please provide also affected world / reproduction steps.
