[SOLVED] Increasing loading times in 0.40.03?
« on: July 16, 2014, 07:09:33 am »

Update:
It's no longer appearing in .40.03



I've generated a third-smallest size (sixty-something) world and every time I load game it takes significantly longer. Anyone else having such behaviour?

Watch your save folder and see if it gets significantly larger each time. If it can't be explained by history getting continued or your fort accumulating more units and items make a bug report. Also, how long do you play between loads?

Possibly related to the population bug(s)?  There was a bug fixed for the upcoming version I believe which caused the populations in some offloaded sites to jump to astronomical levels.  That could definitely do it.

And just when I tried to measure the time it took 17 seconds. The last time it took about two minutes.
Looks like it's related to either DwarfTherapist or not exiting the game between loads.

I play about half a year of game time between saves. Just enabled seasonal autosaves to workaround it.

Looks like it's reproducible.
1. Load your save.
2. Save game.
3. Load again without closing the game.
4. Go to 2, repeat.

Loading creatures takes longer every time.

Will check Mantis later.
