Game loading/saving is really slow here
These operations 'through Load/Save options) may take up to 1 minute. It seems it eats much cpu power and few disk accesses. Is anybody else experiencing similar behavior ?
I am going to look at speeding up loading and saving because they are a little slow, although they don't take up anywhere near to a minute on my system.
Some more questions:
- is this only mid-level saving that takes alot of time? What about when you save the game at the end of a scenario?
- which scenario are you saving in? Which turn of the scenario?
- does saving really take as long as loading? I can imagine loading taking a while, but saving shouldn't take long at all

same and long
- which scenario are you saving in? Which turn of the scenario?
ie 1.4 2.6 2.16

saving and loading are both very slow ( > 1minute CPU 100%)

It works in 0.4.1 on a different system...
I will try to figure why
It's reproducible on another system
First save is fast, but more you advance in campaign, slower is the saving,
after some time it becames > 1mn.
after some time it becames > 1mn.
Quite strange...
When i'll have some time, i will try to identify the issue.
Question:
When loading a saved game, does it take a long time to load up the dialog box with the list of the saved games, or does it only take a long time once you've selected the game to load?
How big is your 'save' file?
Can one of you send your 'save' file to me or put it up on the web so I can download it?

Well David,
I'll send you by email my save file.
This file is actually 268 Kb large, at it long to load between the time I click on the "load" button until the window with saved game list appear (almost 20 seconds for only 6 game saved)!
But once the saved game is choosen, it is almost immediate to display the game screen.
Regards.
