Speeding up GWX3 loading time

Jimbuna · 07-29-11, 10:30 AM

The answer is yes...the more mods you have installed the more memory is taken up by them.

Remember, the game engine of SH3 is designed in such a way that the complete SH3 world and everything scripted into it are loaded together...therefore your best bet is not to have the merged campaign enabled but rather just the theatre of operations you find yourself in.

Apparently a misunderstanding on my part,sorry!

You've certainly nothing to apologise for...at least your trying

You could try the Reduced Campaign Layers mod

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=1536

the idea being that rather than load all the traffic in the world, you just load in traffic for the North Atlantic.

Haven't tried it myself though, so I can't comment on how effective it is

I haven't tried it either (at least I don't think I have) but I have heard good reports.

If it actually speeds up the load it'd certainly be worth a look...

Don't look now, but I sense the 'test' bug coming on.

It has to be faster because of the smaller campaign layers.
