After getting the new patch yesterday, my game saves whenever I enter the inventory screen... It's getting kind of annoying and unless I disable it completely, does this whenever I want to swap armour or spells or anything really... This happening to anyone else?

Try going to your options and go into your save options, there should be something in there

not every time i open it but randomly,its pretty annoying.

yeah, but you can turn it off. there is an option to turn off "menu auto saves". I personaly like it, I have been playing on the "expert" setting, and fast travleing into an dragon attack with the wrong setup means instant death.

When I cba with saving and I know that I am about to be in a big fight I just open and close the inventory just so that it will autosave.
Use the hotkeys by favourating stuff then you won't have to go into tour inventory.

It is basically set on a timer in your settings, after say about 10 minutes it would save again on the interface. This can be disabled by going into your settings, or even adjust it so it happens every 30 mins or however long you like. It's useful if you forget to save at a fight or something, not so useful when exploring.

Yeah, I changed the settings to every 15 minutes as I sometimes forget, but now its every time the inventory is bought up. I'm on Xbox, so no hotkey options...

Press up on the D-Pad and you will find your favourites.

Consoles have 2 hotkeys
