[0.16.36] Very slow map preview generation

[jooozek]

My PC is pretty old, Phenom II X2 545, 4GB DDR2 800mhz RAM, GTX 660 connected on PCI-Express 1.1 x16; the preview generating is much slower for me than going into the game and restarting the map. I feel like being able to limit the generated map preview's tiles range would alleviate my issue. Video below.

Hi, the map generation (both in game and in the preview) runs on CPU in multiple threads as fast as possible.

You can change size of the preview by modifying config.ini. Uncomment line containing max-map-preview-chunk-side and change its value (I think starting new map uncovers area of 16x16 chunks)

Thank you for the information, was just informed about this variable in config in the discord and it does indeed help! Thanks a ton.
