nyonyonyo Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Okay. This has gotten to me. If you have a large late game, say in excess of >5MB savefile sizes, it takes a while to return to main menu. In prerelease, I have experience where it takes minutes to just 'return to main menu" for games with savefile sizes of near 20MB, to the point where it is quicker to just hit Alt-F4 and restart the game. I understand loading large savefiles is lengthy and I accept this, but "purge memory and return to main menu?" Is this a known issue and do people experience it? Regards.

nakomaru Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 It's known. Never return to menu, never load twice. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/110616-return-to-main-menu/#findComment-1246163 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenIsAGeek Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 There still seems to be a bit of a memory leak where game loading is involved. I can completely fill my computer's RAM and hit the memory swap file just by loading the same game repeatedly.

Gus Smedstad Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I've noticed that with a large, late game save file, it's significantly faster to exit to desktop than to exit to main menu. This mainly came up when I was doing save / load to force a reset of a bug. For example, a Dupe stuck in a loop where they would go up a ladder, drop what they were carrying, go down to pick it up, and then drop it again when they started climbing.
