As the title says it takes up to ten minutes for my game to load from a save.
It did not do this before in fact it suddenly started. One minute the loading was working fine the next it took ten minutes to load from a save.

In an attempt to fix the problem I deleted the game and reinstalled it, I removed possible mods that could be the problem with no luck, I even started a new game but that did not work.
Any Ideas what could be the reason why my game is not working as it should?

The problem appeared out of nowhere. I saved and quit the game then when I returned it took 10 minutes to load (which is around 9 minutes and 50 seconds longer than it took previously). In short this showed up out of nowhere.

I have purged ALL of my saves and started a new game. I have also disabled my auto-saving feature and used hard saves, in addition I am using fresh saves spaces and not overwriting. After the Goodsprings introduction the loading times from saves got longer and longer but the loading times doors/portals is surprisingly short (no more than 10 seconds, average ~4). I am almost certain that the problem stems from the save system itself but my efforts to remedy this (deleting the game from the hard drive and reinstalling it) came up with no results.

I am using various high resolution textures. They are as followed

I have various armor and weapon mods that use high definition textures.

When I monitor the game's hardware requirements I get a use of up to 1.5gb of RAM( 1.2gb average)


Any ideas on how to remedy this problem?
