No it wouldn’t because the save is getting bigger and bigger since the move history (savehistory) is getting bigger as its recording every and _all _moves. So each time it comes to save it’s a bigger save than the last. It also couldn’t ‘carry on as normal’ since in a solitaire game, if you’re not making a move the game may as well be paused. So every move is a save as it has to save every move, therefore every move is slow since it saves when a move is made.
Anyway that was it so thanks to everyone’s help. I trimmed the data field down to save only what I needed and now the problem is solved.
