Very slow loading on XP

For example:
2_tosav0_tosav4_tosav8_tosav6_tosav6_tosav2_plr_1_ events.txt

2_tosav5_tosav6_tosav2_current_replay_combat.cmb

2_tosav8_tosav2_tosav6_tosav2_current_replay_comba t.cmb

What is the actual name of your savegame? It doesn't seem like your game is following the normal save procedure.

You should only have 1 .gam and perhaps 1 .cmb file for each save game name. You seem to have multiple...

Autosave files are always named starting with autosav#, where # is from 1-0.

savegame name - 2

As i said before it generates 1230 files each time i save manually or with autosave. and also same amount of history files...most of them have such big names as i posted below.

First 4 files are normal:
2.gam
2_current_replay_combat.cmb
2_plr_1_events.txt
2_plr_1_stats.txt

Then weirdo files go...
2_tosav0_tosav0_tosav2_plr_1_events.txt
2_tosav0_tosav0_tosav2_plr_1_stats.txt
2_tosav0_tosav0_tosav6_tosav2_plr_1_events.txt
2_tosav0_tosav2_current_replay_combat.cmb

I'd run a virus scan for sure - and next I'd reinstall the game.

The first files are fine and how it should be, plus maybe a few autosave files depending on how frequently you have it set.

The rest are wierd and is making me think something more sinister is going on.

I reinstalled game 3 times. I had Last patch 1.91
I have no viruses. Maybe i should submit bug report?

Yeah. This is the first time I've ever seen something like this happen. I tried to duplicate - but no success.

The game runs fine on my XP system. I have had no problems with it at all.

You might have some hardware issues with your PC that might be causing problems.

Make sure you don't have the game disk in any of your drives. In fact make sure your drives are empty.

Right click on the short cut for SEIV and then properties then compatability and see if you can get it to run better under an emulator.

Past that I would re-install XP.
