Also when I load this huge save and try to recall units, recall list is allright. But when I save this game and then reload, then recall list has 7 duplicates of each unit I can recall. Including 7 replicas of Etheileil and Minister Someone who are actually heroes. And when I recall them they have that blue shield too. Don't know what happens if you lose duplicate Etheilel, but I guess you lose.

I have also noticed the problem with lag time before selecting units, but on 1.3.7. I think part of the lag in between turns and on your turn might be the idle animations. I've almost never seen a smooth, finished idle animation. they always jerk back to the position they were standing. The autosaves are also nice, but like mentioned, they lag the game.

you've got too many saves and too many addons, and it's taking a while with your cache. It's going to happen, but you could ease it some by deleting some scenarios that you know you're not going to host games with, or eras you aren't going to play, or campaigns you aren't going to play.

Ok, the slowdown thing that made me stop playing the game a year or so ago (or was it two? just after the transition to 1.x, I think) is back. I'm playing the South Guard campaign now aftef finishing Heir To The thron without any similar problems.
I think it started on the first map with the fog of war, when I have to choose between the elves and the outlaws. The autosaves start taking 10+ seconds to save and likewise the loading. The size of the sutosaves increase noticably from one turn to the next too. This got ridiculous on the map where I'm in the mines finishing off the lich, with autosave times of over 50 seconds near the end!
I think the first autosave there has a size around 500kb and after finally finishing it (I hate autosaves when I have to wait over a whole minute at the beginning of each turn near the end) it's up to 2MB. The first one in the next scenario is now over 3.260 MB and stderr.txt shows it took 80105 ms for the last save...
The task manager shows wesnoth.exe's memory usage steadily increasing during the autosave up to around 150MB and then drop suddenly to <10 when the autosave process is over.
I'd attach the save but that would take forever on this connection. :p So just adding the stderr.txt to see the autosave times for now.

maybe some poorly-thought WML coding there if the filesize is increasing that rapidly; you can disable autosaves with the :nosaves command, btw.

Re: SLOW Performance Issues: post here to Help
Hi. I have an iBook G4 and I downloaded wesnoth version 1.4. Everything is working well except for the speed of the game. The game slows down when I try to move a unit. In fact, every time i move a unit, I get the "pinwheel of death" and wesnoth will not do anything for about 1 1/2 minutes. I have tried disabling all animations of any kind and sounds of any kind and the problem has still continued.

Re: SLOW Performance Issues: post here to Help
I have the same problem as Meowler, above, with only a couple details different. I also have an iBook G4, and the game worked perfectly for several campaigns until this problem came up. Halfway through the Under the Burning Suns campaign, the game began to freeze for about 20 seconds every time I move a unit. No amount of fooling around with the preferences menu or deleting saved games seems to help. I haven't yet tried starting another campaign or loading a game to see if the problem is game wide (so far this has been happening for two scenarios).

Have you taken 'charisma' or 'camouflage' AMLA with Kaleh befor the performance detoriated?

Re: SLOW Performance Issues: post here to Help
Yes, I did choose camouflage the first time he leveled up. This problem didn't come up until a couple scenarios after that, though, and since then I've only chosen 'better swordsmanship' twice.
(thanks for the quick response )
EDIT: actually, I'm not positive about when exactly the problem started - it could well have appeared along with Kaleh's camouflage.

Hi i have a Intel Pentium 4 with 1.80 GHz and 256MB RAM
Windows XP, SP3
At Version 1.5.4 i have some big problems with - Thunderer! I don't know why but everytime i recruit,select,deselect or move one of them the game has huge lags. It's the same with the Thunderguard and the level-3-Thunderer
well and if the AI has too much possibilities to attack it may take a few seconds for my computer to work the best out but that's okay i think
and the bug with the savegames - it seems as if the game would load all of them into the RAM... The more you have the slower it is
So i usually play with only up to 10 Autosaves and 1-3 "normal" saves (one for the Beginning of the scenario and 2 if i need to - if i quit playing or try a risky thing or somethin' like that...)
i played the last scenarios playing dwarves without using thunderer - i had to do everything with my melee dwarves (it's the campaign, you don't have any outlaws) because using only 1 of my 2 Thunderguards would have cost minutes each Turn...
i even looked into their Files for something unusual but wasn't able to find anything

Thanks,
