Massive slowdown

[darkgod]

Yay again

I've gone through a couple of dungeons with the patch and haven't encountered slowdown of any sort - I'm quite amazed I must say.

About to do Dreadfell, so that'll be the big test :)

The fix improves speed dramatically for me too, but CPU usage remains at 100% with or without it. Maybe that's a different bug.

Ok people who have lags can you please try that:
Edit the file game/loader/pre-init.lua and add

Code: Select all

collectgarbage("setpause",100)
collectgarbage("setstepmul",400)
collectgarbage("restart")

at the top of it

Then run the game and see how it feels

I just got some time and launched beta20 after making the change on the pre-init.lua file.
Using a level 13 archimage i explored Kor'Pul entirely and the change seems to make a very big difference as i didn't encountered a single slowdown.

Kor'Pul before this change had regular slowdowns. Seems this is THE fix to that stuttering/slowdown/lag very annoying issue.

great job !

I played a long session tonight with beta21 in a single seating during which i cleaned both Trollmire and Kor'Pul successively .
Then i went in the new version of Derth with the bunch of invading monsters (difficult to avoid them coming 1 by 1 with the new town design) shooting lightning at my characters in the same time.

I'm happy to confirm now that i encountered absolutely no slowdown during this whole session.

Tome4 now is running very smoothly on my not so recent system, even when there's a bunch of enemies around with lots of floating damage message, fantastic job in fixing this major annoyance definitively !
