I was trying to enter dreadfell, it started saving but wouldn't let me in. Then I stepped north to see if I was actually aligned with dreadfell or not (I was in a large host body and I sometimes find it difficult to tell which space is mine on the overland map) was attacked by a patrol and the game got caught in a weird save state where it kept saving past 100% and a new yellow bar (or just the filling from it) appeared next to the first one.

Worth noting I was a Possessor and a recent Parasite, and I think one of the Possessor leaks is still there because saves were slowing over the course of the game before this failed. Tough for it to be corrupted, my most successful Possessor game so far under 1.6.

Edits/adding information later:
- after it had hit over 300% save I force quit. When I try to load the save, it has a picture from the last dungeon I left on the save screencap, but it freezes at loading screen showing 100%, gets slightly brighter, and then crashes.
- it did not register as a bug in the game that needed a report.
- I had had a bug crash previously that I quit to desktop rather than save after. I submitted this bug with the additional feedback line of something like "tried to possess Rantha" or something similar, if the text is searchable on bug reports it should definitely have the words "possess" and "Rantha" in it.

I'm having similar issues on Possessor [1.6]. It appears that the Psychic Crush talent memory leak still exists- after some number of uses of it the game incrementally slows down and eventually reaches a state where you can't save (and possession attempts throw a lua error).

Laggy... maybe? I did note above that the save function seemed to be slowing down when I entered a level, but I didn't notice much slowing at other times during play.

I would be happy to send along a file.

1. My guess is the file you're looking for is the one with lots of stuff in it, around 311 MB, not just the 20KB worth of character and desc files? Or some one of those in particular, if you don't want a 311 MB email?
2. Where should I send it? I looked in the Bug Reports for Dummies post but I didn't see a destination, and despite having been here awhile I haven't sent in a savefile yet.
