extreme slow Game start and laggy UI

Post by silentbob »

Hi..

when I start the Game either form Launcher or .exe, it takes like 3-4 Minutes to get to the main Menu. The the Menu itself feels slow, the Menu-Frames "appear" as if they are loaded from a slow device. If I want to switch Theme, it again takes like 3-4 minutes to complete.
Game runs as Admin, Dx9 installed. HDD and CPU usage is low...

Just from my own experience...which may be relevant or not...
The game takes a relatively long time to load...which is normal AFAIK
Also it takes a relatively long time for a theme to be installed...normal also AFAIK
AFAIK = these things take a long time in my game.

I have a killer rig - and this game takes ages to start - and changing themes is equivalent to restarting.

I also avoid bugs by changing a theme - exiting the game and restarting it (with the now correct theme) before starting a game in a given theme. Less likelihood of a bug causing a corrupt game or crash if you try to swap data on the fly.

The only way to speed up starting the game is to run it off an SSD or Ramdisk. It'll still take a minute or so, though.
Switching themes takes a long time because it's basically purging all the current .txt files in memory and reloading the ones from the new theme's directory.

I run it off an SSD, and have 24gigs of RAM to boot. Still slow as hell, still takes 15 minutes to load a game and thirty to save.

I have an MSI Computer GT72 DOMINATOR PRO-210. Game still runs like it was 1993 shareware.

It shouldn't take 30 minutes.. you have something running you shouldnt have running while playing...

It does take a long time but try running AS SSD and compare speed tests with others on websites


I turn off all my virus and whatever other ridiculous programs when I play and maybe thats why mine takes about 5-10 minutes to load/save..

I have a crappy Lenovo i7 quad core , 16 gig ram , and SSD ..
