The game will crash if you run out of disk space during a save, and likely also corrupt your savegame.  A Vintage Story savegame varies in size depending on how much of the map you have explored, it could be a few GB in size.<br><br>''If you update game versions, and the 'remapping' dialog pops up asking if you want to make a backup (backup enabled by default), make sure you have plenty of disk space for the backup, the backup process will also need space on the hard drive where your Temp files folder is located.''
