Has anyone noticed some extremely long load times in this version compared to the last one? (0.31.01-02). I aborted loading a game after it sat on the load screen for 25 minutes. Thinking it was possibly the world, I tried to gen a new one- and stopped it at year 324, since it was taking around 40 seconds per year... Wondering what's up with that; I haven't seen those sort of slowdowns before.

Must be your computer as its going like normal for me, maybe a bit faster actually.

I think I'm going to keep holding out until the hospitals and military are fixed (including the worst of the combat balance issues, barring what can be modded). But, I certainly don't mind if crash bugs get priority.

It seems to load much faster for me.  I used to have to wait 6 minutes before the school computers would show any indication of DF starting when I ran it off my USB drive.  Now theres hardly a delay at all.

I did however get that infinite loading thing before.  It was after I had modified the save raws, and reloaded.  The save never loaded again.

Load times shouldn't have changed at all from 0.31.01-03 -- you did mean .03, right?  What size areas are you embarking on, what size worlds are you generating, and how much RAM do you have?

[EsnRedshirt]

Identical worlds and memory as before- and 0.31.01 and 0.31.02 ran fine. I am running Mayday's graphic pack, though I don't see how that would affect things. Oh- I did copy a save from .02 into .03, but deleted it after playing it once and generated a new world. I may just redownload and start fresh if I still get slow loading and saving times.

[Footkerchief]

Haha, I suppose it's theoretically possible that you got great performance in .02 because pathfinding bugs prevented any of your dwarves from trying to move.  Other than that I have no idea.  To make a real guess, I'd need to know... oh, do you have PARTIAL_PRINT turned on in /data/init/init.txt?

[EsnRedshirt]

PARTIAL_PRINT was YES:2. My framerate's fine- it's the saving and loading that's slow. I set it to NO, just in case, though. Maybe turning off compressed saves might help?

[Footkerchief]

It might help a little, you could try it.  Honestly the first thing I'd try is restarting my computer -- your virtual memory could be running low or something.

Much love for the ToadyOne

All hail Toady and his... beauty! Funds for the toad god!

The only thing i miss at this point is the find functionality for magma pipes and underground rivers

I have no speed issues to report (31.03), C2DE8200/2GBRAM, 3x3, 120 dwarves, >100FPS 99% of the time. It is unplayable on atom n450 though.. <10FPS, 2x2, 7 dwarves, w/speed tweaks.

Until the military is fixed, 40d imo.

And the traps are seriously underpowered now, it goes from one extremity to another. A few wild horses just went through a corridor of 20-ish stone traps without serious injury and MURDERED my fort of 12 dwarves. This is waaaay off.
