2021 updates

Getting ready to go to Autodesk for updates but still wanted to ask if anyone has been experiencing drastic slow downs when saving.

I have been using Civ3D since conception and have developed multiple methods for files not getting compiled by to much.

Also, Had to have plotter maintenance come and install new drivers that he said is a issues between HP and Microsoft 10. That is when this started occurring.

Any input with resolving this?

Check you settings for
ISAVEPERCENT (System Variable)

Controls the amount of space allocated in DWG files for incremental saves, which affects the number of quick save operations that can be performed before a full save is required.

Type: Integer
Saved in: Registry
Initial value: 50
When the file save estimate exceeds the specified percentage, the next save will be a full save. Valid values can range from 0 to 100 percent.

A value of 0 means that all save operations are full saves. A full save optimizes the size of a DWG file, but is noticeably slower on large drawings.
A value of 100 increases the space available to append changes to the maximum possible. This value results in the greatest number of incremental quick save operations between full saves at the expense of larger file sizes.
Note: To optimize speed, automatic saves are incremental, temporarily overriding the value of ISAVEPERCENT with a value of 90. A full save occurs when the number of changes exceeds the ISAVEPERCENT setting. Saving to a different format always results in a full save.

Also check any anti-virus is not checking your autocad files when saving
