Rubberbanding and 'auto save'....

[Stormfalcon1970]

Something I noticed recently. My game froze up on me the other day and I had to reboot. When I started the game back up everything was the same. All the new items I'd picked up before the reboot were in my inventory. My character had just leveled up....he was still leveled up. I wasn't able to save the game. Everything was locked up.

Question. How often is this game saving in the background as we play? Alone, I can see how this wouldn't be a problem. But I've 'heard' people on this board talking about how rubberbanding could be caused by the system having to keep track of ALL the dead bodies and items scattered all over the map. (Correct me if I'm wrong. But that seemed to be the gist of it. I'm not a programer or any kind of computer expert.) I was just thinking. If you add that to the constant 'auto saving' might you have....rubberbanding and lag after 1 or 2 hours play?

Just an idea. Like I said, I'm not an expert on this stuff

There must be multiple factors causing the rubberbanding. Everything suggested by many boards have all failed for me, from minimap to shadows. From daytime to night. From bigmac to quarter pounder with cheese.

Some are worse than others, and my rubberbanding starts the moment I load the game until I die and torture harmless animals.

Ok maybe I don't torture animals.
