Forum:Autosave trouble

I recently got Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen. I started a game without updating to the 1.02 patch, and everything was working great. I decided I wanted to try to use other people's PAWN's so I installed the patch. Now when the game tries to auto save, it takes several minutes (online or offline) and if I try to talk to any NPC's while it is auto saving (merchants, inn keepers) the whole game freezes.

I also noticed that the game data file went from 12mb to 5071mb. I have tried deleting the game data and playing just offline, but the issue persists. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it?
