What is behind the savegame bug?
As the developer CD Projekt Red explained on his support page, there is currently one maximum game size. Players already investigated the problem on the official forum and found that this is exactly 8,192 kB, i.e. about 8 MB. If you exceed it, it will destroy your savegame.
This is how you prevent: As the studio explains, you can prevent this error by not piling up too many items and crafting materials in your inventory and warehouse. In addition, you should refrain from using the glitch with which you can duplicate items.
Frequently saves: It makes sense to create many different game states. If you should exceed the 8 MB mentioned, you can at least fall back on an older savegame. This is of course not a perfect solution. However, in an emergency, you can at least keep your lost progress within limits.
