There are a few things I noticed as I have been messing around with the ini files a little, and have played enough to manage to get a save over 10MB in size...
1. If you change too much in the ini files your last save won't load - it's not corrupt, just locks up at the point it would normally transition from loading screen to game - typical changes that screw it up are changing shadow values too high or too low, uGrids etc...
2. I was playing with either the 4GB wrapper, or the original unencrypted EXE with 4GB patch applied, logout, shut-down. Then relaunch the game using the 4GB version, saves won't load. Had to open the game using the normal launcher, quit, then launch the non-CTDing exe as normal. Save then loads. This is repeatable for me with a save over 10MB. Saves <10MB work fine.
3. Changing some ini values can also make it CTD as soon as the old save loads. Haven't worked out which ones as it may be a combination of changes.
