Triger Hapie Posted April 11, 2002 Posted April 11, 2002 Hi. Anyway, I'm new here. I haven't had time to browse everything to see if I can find a fix or explaination for my problem. While I haven't experience any bugs at all while playing the game (except maybe a graphic oddity every now and then), I am experiencing ludicrous saved-game load times. Levels load fine when I first start out, the longest it ever took was 1 minute, not even. However, the save games are rediculous. I'm talking 4+ minutes. On one level it was taking 7, yes SEVEN minutes to load a saved game! Why does a saved game take 7 minutes to load, but the level like only 30 seconds? Sloppy coding? I read on the official FAQ that that reload times are supposed to be fast and load times slow. I would actually be able to tolerate long level load times, but not save times. It gets annoying dying 5 times in a row and wasting like 20 minutes just through reloading. True, I am on a pretty poor system: Windows 2000pro, 900mhz P3, 128mb RAM, some 8mb Savage card (this is a school laptop). However, I do have ALL graphics settings on LOW. I can understand my video car is poor, but my framerate is mostly above 40fps. The lowest it goes is like 15, and the highest is 80+. Is there a patch. Is there something I'm missing? Please help me. Thank You.
BooJediHamster Posted April 12, 2002 Posted April 12, 2002 I read something about this problem posted on this board by a developer. It's to do with memory and video card memory and data caching. I think you may be able to improve things a little by adjusting the actual configuration of your video card driver. But more memory or a better video card would make a huge difference. As I say there was a detailed post I think maybe in announcments. Hope it's of some help.
BooJediHamster Posted April 12, 2002 Posted April 12, 2002 Yes, just checked. Here's the link to the announcement. http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=35689
Triger Hapie Posted April 12, 2002 Author Posted April 12, 2002 Yeah, I read about all this stuff. But I also read about people with plenty of RAM and Super video cards still having the same problems. It's partially a hardware conifguration and CRAPPY PROGRAMMING problem.
Anakin_Solo Posted April 13, 2002 Posted April 13, 2002 No it does not seem to make any difference what you have, its just sloppy coding. i have G-froce 3 Ti 200. Duron 1Ghz and 131 meg ram, 20G hard drive and still it takes 5 minutes to load Finished game so not bothered anymore
