Bug or bad config?

Belcanzor · 2018-10-07T20:45:40.899Z

Very long loading times, Tested in home and work computers. Stop in “verify”, last step.

Slow cursor movement only in “drop” menu.
Not with the one you call with " / "

Savegame 3 months old, 250 MB, 11k files. Last experimental.
Dino mod, dirty, npc needs, player needs full, blazemod.
Its only me?
My save is bad?
Need config something to use more of my FX6300 CPU?

Belcanzor:

my FX6300 CPU?

Wow, that’s fast. I remember a post somewhere around here about launching CDDA on a 486 PC.

Belcanzor · 2018-10-07T23:29:34.244Z

Its was the best option 4 years ago for a low cost gaming PC.
The one at my work place is a very old Celeron.
Can you tell me if you have this problem with big saves? I m tempted to restart the game.

It happens to me too if I got slot of enemies nearby or if I’ve been playing for awhile like a day IRL so it might be an optimization thing with file size. I’d honestly suggest deleting the world or at least resetting and starting over might be easier. Or get a more powerful more memory capacity computer.

My save is only 120 mb large, and it’s not that bad. I suppose. Surely the loading times are longer compared to the new world, but nothing dramatical.

Mantar · 2018-10-08T17:20:37.640Z

I just looked and my biggest save is 1.2 gigs.
5 seconds to load for me, so it sounds like something’s buggy with your save?

Belcanzor · 2018-10-08T20:02:10.794Z

Thats the answer I want! Thanks Mantar.
New world then. In a fresh install. Hope dinomod was not the culprit.

Rose · 2018-10-16T00:31:37.344Z

Meanwhile, my save has reached 250 mb and I’m experiencing the same things as @Belcanzor.

Belcanzor · 2018-10-17T01:45:34.769Z

Finally, someone else. Thanks Rose.

I start again. New install.
Around the 3 city, 120 Mb, 4.000 files, more than 30 sec in the “verify” part.
Nothing added or removed.
I have the file compressed (8 mb) if someone want to check.

Rose · 2018-10-17T02:04:58.219Z

Do you have this thing when after loading the world and making the first steps the game just stucks for a moment? Like within 10-20 first steps?
I doubt that it’s the system, since your PC is quite fast and mine is so damn slow, especially the HDD that has nearly 40000 hours on it. (fix - the drive with cdda has 32k hours. still old enough).

I too had this happen on my world. One character I made and played for the course of a weekend, I noticed the load was taking over a minute, made a new character on the same world and it loaded instantly. I think it has to do with the new terrain memory feature bloating the save file.

Belcanzor · 2018-10-17T05:08:40.018Z

Disable the memory dont work.
Change the tileset, same.
You think the bloat is permanent?

Rose: I use a old Celeron in my work and same result. I never check the HDD hours, my computer as a new HD and the other is a notebook, a very old Compaq.

Rose · 2018-10-17T05:18:22.119Z

Well, I don’t usually check HDD hours too, but mine is clicking in a strange manner and making other sounds, so I deсided to check it with different programs.

Belcanzor · 2018-10-17T05:21:15.622Z

Click noises! The horror!
Make a backup !

Rose · 2018-10-17T05:23:16.045Z

Nah, that’s just the arm leaving the parking spot. Nothing serious, it’s been clicking for a couple of years now.

Entity · 2018-10-17T06:20:46.843Z

It’s only a theory that it’s coming from terrain memory, turning it off wouldn’t solve the problem because that’s only toggling it rather than removing it and the memory remains active in the background whether you use the feature or not.

Maybe there is a file in your save folder that holds the terrain memory that you could delete. Doing a bit of experimenting, the .seen. files are for the world map, not sure which file terrain memory could be.

Belcanzor · 2018-10-17T11:46:13.154Z

How about ask the devs? I mean ask about the right file.

Is not a urgent issue but is annoying.

My theory is this is a inventory bug. I see there are increasing times browsing inventory if I use the drop (d) command.

Entity · 2018-10-17T18:07:32.646Z

Could also be an inventory bug, I would think a huge stockpile of food and drinks constantly checking ambient temperature could slow down a save.

As I mentioned, I started a new character in the same world. I should also add that they were both high tech low life scenarios and started at the same place. The basement is where I had my base set up so all of the stuff I gathered was still there from the last character. It was only after I started traveling around, the long load times happen again on the new character. If it has anything to do with inventory, I would guess it’s checking spoilage and freezing variables from say zombie or creature corpses and all of the meat that could potentially be claimed from them.

Belcanzor · 2018-10-17T19:42:24.271Z

I try tonight consume all food with my party and remove corpses with the blob food recipe.
Edit: Nope. Also I delete some files and nothing.

Rose · 2018-10-21T05:21:01.831Z

The game is taking over a minute to load now.
