The sequel to 2007's critically acclaimed role-playing game, The Witcher. Players again take control of Geralt of Rivia in this story-focused adventure.
While not completely necessary, that is a link to a save manager that can help you clear space up. Lets you see what type of save(auto, quick, manual), the date, and what the loading screen looks like.
I was supposed to thin my saves out, but i'm just too lazy. Probably won't get around doing it until i finish the game. But yeah 20MB for a save game is insane.
Yeah, im cleaning up my save folder regulary. And keep a few manual saves at the start of important events. Though i wonder why they didn't add a delete button in-game.
Yeah, my game actually crashed because I literally filled up all of the free space on my system partition with Witcher 2 saves, and it caused my video drivers to fail, haha.
The lack of an in-game save management feature isn't a huge deal (I prefer Windows to manage large numbers of saves anyway), but having the game create a new save every time you hit F5 was a pretty dumb oversight. Especially when each save can be upwards of 12MB.
So that's still a problem, huh? I remember Witcher 1 making a new save file each time you quick saved. Which was often, since it was an RPG with quicksave. That folder got huge!

The quicksave is fine, it will overwrite your previous quicksave. The autosave however makes a new file everytime it initiates.

Mine doesnt. When I quicksave it create a new save file.

your unique then, because there are some people who actually want their quicksaves to act like the first game like in this thread
Witcher 2 Save game 2.97GB and thats just one play through. I am about to do a second play through but this time doing the scoiatael path. I don't delete my save game :( so yeah i will have save folder over 5GB easily.
They didn't learn how to save data, did they? Witcher 1 had the same problem but I thought it was because they used the Aurora Engine... NWN2 had the same problem... Now with their new in-house engine this is unacceptable.
I kept my end-save and deleted the rest. Backed up the end-save within a folder and named it correctly before starting my second playthrough, seems to be the easiest option for me.

It's a design choice, not a failing. I actually prefer it this way because I like being able to go back to any single point that a save was created in games of this nature. I've made good use of it in both The Witcher and Far Cry 2 in the past.
anyone with version 1.0 pls send me save form start of chapter 2 ,my game is bugged there ,my email is kifon@hotmail.sk or just post here a link ..thanks
THANK GOD. The way this game saves is ridiculous. It takes me 5 fucking minutes to open the load menu. I wouldn't mind if I could just mash delete on the files but it takes a while because you have to confirm every delete, man it sucks. I can't believe how awful the save setup is in the game. I just quick save anyway, I never want to use autosaves.
