Very long loading time since 0.16.0

Post by Koponya »

Hey!
I think i have an issue!
it's a little bit annoying. Since 0.16.0, i have a very long loading time, it's about 5-6 mins, no crash detected. I know its slower because HD textures etc., its ok, but 5-6 mins? :O
Game reinstalled, doesnt work. For sure i advance, i have the same FPS drop ingame (60 to 15 zoom out) but i think i can fix it with no decoratives. i have a good computer,
that's why i dont understand this very long loading time. Sorry for my bad english :P Anyone with the same problem? :) Good job developer team anyway <3

In your config file change:

Code: Select all

; thread-sprite-loading=true
to

Code: Select all

thread-sprite-loading=false
Tell me if it does not work.

This is definitely machine-specific, I'm running midrange hardware from 2012 with no SSD and on that the game loads in 25 seconds first-time-since-boot, 8 seconds after. That 8-second loading in particular is a gratifying improvement on 0.15. Try

Code: Select all

cache-sprite-atlas=true
in your config, it won't help the first time but loading the cached atlas instead of reconstructing it might help a lot from then on if your install's scattered all over the disk.

It always load instant 30%, but with cache-sprite-atlas=true, its load instant 40%, but then, the same very very slow load. before 0.16.0, was relative fast load. but hey! this is not the biggest problem in life, so i think i can wait a few more minutes to play this game :) maybe an ssd wil fix it in the future :) thank you all :)

Your graphics card has only 2GB VRAM, this is no longer enough for high resolution sprites, you will have to change it to back to normal: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=54558
The starting issue I am pretty sure is caused by too little RAM which results in it being outsourced on hard drive, but all of this will be remedied with the graphics change as well.
