[0.10.0][cube] Linux - can't handle massive save games

Post by squisher »

My save game has grown to 86 MB, which means 3 autosaves of that size as well. When I go to manually save the game, it seems that as of 0.10.0 the "choose a name for your save game" dialog is scanning every game in the saves directory and my system grinds to a halt (with the hard drive light going nuts, mouse being very jerky/99% unresponsive) and I have to restart the computer. This happens after a fresh reboot as well. Update: actually now I can't even load the game, computer croaks after clicking the game and clicking load.

Also, autosaves seem to be growing exponentially, like 1 MB every 10 minutes (when I was still able to play.) I suspect it is the replay feature combined with such a huge map with lots and lots of biters present at the edges, all recording their own movements. Also possible cause is I have ~100 radars all revealing their own spaces on the map. I don't even use the replay feature and I never am going to play multiplayer, any way to turn that off?

save file, created in 0.9.8: http://squisher.co/s/7.zip

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz (8 cores)
4 GB ram.
Only mod: shotgunfix 0.0.1

Clearing the saves folder and starting from scratch fixes it. But of course now I can't play my map any more.

Hello, it seems to have the same cause as this: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... f=7&t=4161

Can you confirm, you are using 32bit version of factorio or system?

Nope :l

Linux localhost.localdomain 3.10.12-100.fc18.x86_64 #1 SMP
Factorio 0.10.0 (Build 10146, linux64)

Edit: update: my current game is up to 75 mb (they grow much faster in 0.10.0) and am having zero indication of the issue reported above. I suspect the issue was caused by using an older 0.9.8 game. So I'd guess this is probably not an issue anymore. I'll report back if it happens again.

Edit 2: my game hit 240 mb before 0.10.1 hit, and was still fine on linux. It's now 47 mb which can only be better.

Nice base :-)
Apart for making the saves smaller, 0.10.1 also doesn't load whole map when doing the game preview. For me that speeded up the load game dialog a lot :-)
Moving to resolved.
I have no idea what I'm talking about.
