I just tried exporting both the auto-save and the manual save for that particular game.
Peculiarly, the auto-save and manual save were both 57kb for the auto and 55kb for the manual.
When I exported the manual secondly after the auto, an odd thing was the file downloaded to the bottom of my download folder list, which was set to listing by date modified, but both have the proper date on them, not sure if that would help any.
I am going to check on my quota setting, and also stick to the first save game world/save and see if it does it again.
Thank you.
Something I realize is I should note I had youtube on another tab (I was using Edge) and watching videos, would that possible cause a problem?
On another note, I have an interesting "Murder Mystery" for you; I had continued the first game file and went around, eventually going to a big nest of chicken monsters and getting eggs then running away from them towards Iris's house. I got away far enough but I thought perhaps they started a fight near her home, but I was unsure.
Next day I eventually go to Iris to give her a gift, and I find a slew of wood on the ground near the house as if a tree was chopped, or they were dumped, along with a single tooth, and Iris was gone.
Sally was around but angry and I was forced to flee.
I almost thought Another villager south of my home was gone too but after sleeping, he was there the next day, but Iris was not to be found, subsequent days gone by and she was never home.
Can villagers be killed permanently by such a monster incursion? Or might this be an odd bug?
Villagers can be killed, but not permanently (death revives them the next day). I need to make this clearer by adding a gravestone where the NPC dies and you can ask Death about it there. Iris should re-appear the next day, unless she dies again (if a lot of afowl make nests in her territory and attack her as soon as she awakens, it's possible). I'd watch her location (in the relationships tab), and if you go to her location and there's nothing there, she died that day.
The error has to do with your save file quota, not memory, so it can't have anything to do with other tabs being open. But, I did realize that the quota is set per domain - in this case itch.io. So I don't get 5-10mb for Witherspring Wilds, itch.io gets 5-10 mb for all browser games and site cookies total - if you play a lot of games on itch.io, that could easily fill up! A simple solution would be to play on a site other than itch.io (like our homepage), or to clear cookies on itch.io to reset your quota (but beware, this will delete ALL your save files across all games on itch.io, so make sure to back saves up before you clear cookies).
Thank you very much for your response!
One last question regarding Iris's multi-deaths; could Sally be pushed into an in-fight with her as monsters can with each-other? I realize if the monsters I dragged to her home got into a scuffle and somehow Sally hit Iris, or vice versa, that could start an in-fight conceivably, and I noticed critters seem to keep grudges, so I'm theorizing Sally had a grudge against Iris that flares anew every start of each day.
Also, if Sally is considered a villager herself that's revived as others are each day, that may account for the tooth I found meaning Sally died and was revived, and also 2 other teeth I forgot about that I found south of the house.
It's a fascinating circumstance at any rate haha. This game is awesome!
Tamed creatures cannot attack their owner - if you attack your tamed creature enough times, the taming ribbon will break and they can finally attack back, but that doesn't sound like what's going on. Currently, there's no way to revive creatures - that's a planned change, but if sally died she'd be gone for good. The teeth are just a daily drop for swampjaws.
As for grudges, they do fade over a few days, but yes, creatures can remember you attacked them or stole their eggs.
