Hi,
Description
After playing for a few hours, I've noticed my save files were getting increasingly bigger (up to 750MB) and saving consequently lagged/froze the game for quite a few seconds.
Opening the save file, I found millions of lines containing : "alt_start_disabled_wildling_culture=7898.1.1", as in:
Work-around
Notes
Thanks for your time and consideration

}

}
vars=
{

}
}
Work-around
- Save game (uncompressed)
- Exit game
- Open save file and remove all "alt_start_disabled_wildling_culture" lines but one
- Restart game and open save
Notes
- The bug is somehow "in memory" even after leaving a game (not 100% sure). First time, it occurred, I think I thought "oh well my game is screwed, might as well restart one" so, IIRC, I left my game back to the main menu, then created a new game, then attempted to "shatter realms", then the game froze, then I wondered "oh what's happening", then I checked the save folder and noticed the auto-generated shattered realm file was 750MB. Restarting the game fixes the issue.
- I'm not sure what triggers the bug, it does look like it's more complicated than "double the number of aforementioned line on every save" because I've been playing another shattered realm game without much hassle. As the work-around is quite easy to perform and very durable, I've not investigated more.
- I use 3 mods but I don't believe they have an impact on this bug, namely: "AGOT Holdings+", "AGOT Westeros Only", "AGOTmusic"
Thanks for your time and consideration
