BUG: hangs up on save or dont save

Ever sense untiy 4.61 and possible the one before it, unity hangs up. Whenever something is done, an asterisk is made on the title indicating a save is needed. Whenever saving or switching scenes (which requires a save or don’t save), unity hangs up. This also happens when exiting the program. I am using windows 8.1 on a new dell insertion laptop.

What happens is it’s like it is trying to do something but hangs. It’ll hang for 1 minute or 20 minutes. I know this sounds weird, but clicking and moving the mouse pointer helps. I can let it hang for 10 minutes and then do that and it’ll finish saving within 10 seconds. I have reported this in another thread but no one seemed to answer except other users with this issue.

People are talking about a patch related to Unity’s saving functionality:

Maybe the patch will help?

ill try the 2 newer patches. thanks.
