Save games are HUGE...

BooBooLovesAll · 07-15-07, 03:44 PM

It used to take under 30 seconds to save a game, now it takes a few minutes.

Checked the folder.. 500mb save.

I turned off the developers options in the main.cfg... what the heck?

Also.. the start up menu now takes a few minutes longer in 1.3 than 1.2. I could get up, make a sandwhich.. before it would be done.

odd because my saves are about 5mb, in total. for 2 or 3 saves. and its faster but bearing in mind i did a full clean up of my rig recently that is most likely sod all to do with the patch.
but it realy shouldnt have gotten worse for you.

I deleted.. then reinstalled SH4 and then patched it.

Then added the mods.

Furthermore... I used to be able to open the tubes in rapid succession.. now its back to the way it was with 1.2?

Sounds to me like a fresh install and just putting patch 1.3 might solve your ills. If it is acting like 1.2 then there is a problem for sure.

My game loads quickly and when done puts all the files away quickly. It has not done this since 1.3 patch. I see improvement over all with loading and shutting down.

You using any mods?

AVGWarhawk · 07-15-07, 06:14 PM

All that I use is the green button mod and the officer hat mod. What is troubling is the torp doors are acting like they did in the previous patches.

Jmack · 07-15-07, 06:20 PM

if you save the replay it will be a larger file ... not shure about the size ...

Weirder part is that I tried the patch out.. and I got the torp doors to open quicker than 1.2.

Then it reverted back to its oldself.

Fearless · 07-15-07, 07:10 PM

Have no probs whatsoever. Game loads faster, torp doors open fast at a touch of the key and my max save files reach only 4.4mb.

BooBooLovesAll · 07-15-07, 07:22 PM

Uninstalled..deleted anything to do with SH4... reinstalled..applied patch...

With no mods activated, went into game. Loads quicker, tubes open with no problems.

Bet its either the Trigger Maru..the campaign layers.. or both.

AVGWarhawk · 07-16-07, 05:47 AM

Load one mod at a time and play. Once this issue starts again after the last mod you installed, then you know which one is the culprit. So far I enjoy game play with just using texture mods for the visual experience. I'm good with DD and convoy reaction now with 1.3. I am interested in Taters campaign layers and would like to see were he goes with this.

java`s revenge · 07-16-07, 06:17 AM

Why do i read that people are using the pre 1.3 mods???

Don`t use them at all !!!

Every modmaker is reworking his mod again because they don`t
work with 1.3

TDK1044 · 07-16-07, 06:45 AM

It's the TM 1.3 mod. My load times are a bit slower and the file saves are now very large. I don't see it as a big issue though.

banjo · 07-16-07, 02:53 PM

My saves used to take less than 5 seconds. Now they take 25 - 30.

Ducimus · 07-16-07, 04:29 PM

argh.

The torpedo doors im aware of. Easy enough to fix.

The 500 MB saves, im trying to pin down if this is a stock issue, or mod issue. Try deleting the entire campaign directory from Tmaru and see if it happends again.

edit: This is important, if your using Tmaru and have this issue, i need to know, WHAT WAS THE MONTH AND YEAR IN GAME?
