SO SLOW!
« on: April 01, 2010, 05:32:51 pm »

Hey, I noticed that with DF2010, worldgen takes about 4x as long as normal, and the site finder I left on for an HOUR and it still hadnt finished, when it usualy takes 5 mins. Why is it so slow?

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

Just do the 'generate a world' option from the main menu, or whatever it is, using custom parameters (i.e., making a 'large' map) made it very slow for me.

It's the initial release. It's going to be slow.

Besides, it's somehow enjoyable to think of groundhogs stacked to the very top of a cage and flooding out to kill.

I did noticed genning a large world takes a long time, but It didn't take more then 30 mins for me when trying it out on a rather low end comp.
Genning a medium world takes about the same time as before, if a bit longer.

The DF Accelerator works wonders. I believe it's on the general discussion thread. A holdover until the D## merge.

Site finder is slower for me...but not an hour slower. Wow.

I just wish it would stop searching after a site is found.

Worldgen is waaaay slow for me.  I had to stop it 300 years in.

There also seems to be a heavy delay on the menu.  But, hey, it hasn't crashed or anything.

Ya, as Toady has previously stated, this is pretty much the slowest release ever. Tons of new features and systems + no d## integration = very slow.

Could it be the ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY NINE negative Z levels causing so much in game lag?

I set graphics FPS to 30 and PARTIAL_PRINT:YES:10 and get 50 to 80 fps with 13 dwarves.
Edit: I get nearly 100 if I scroll the view somewhere underground where I can't see anything.

I noticed that genning the history now goes to 1050 years as opposed to the previous 200.  That might have something to do with it.  The only other thing I noticed that takes significantly longer is saving.

Ingame runs fine, but the site finder took an hour then DF crashed, and worldgen itself (with parameters) took a LOT longer than usual...
