Its takes me 30 Minutes to load a rnd gen Map

Wtf fix your game and make loading times shorter !

[DthBlayde]

Heh... or maybe get a better rig, or wait for optimizations. Map loading takes time, especially if it's the first time the map is being loaded because it's being generated in it's entirety from the start. Some players take as little as 5 min, others upwards of 30 depending on size.

Making demands will get you nowhere.

Is that generating it the first time, or just loading an existing game that already has been started? And are you networked or is this local? Maybe try actually providing some information (along with system specs) and/or reporting it as a bug to see if it's an actual problem you've run into. Just yelling "FIX IT" with no context does nothing to help it get better.

Just FYI - There are all kinds of reasons why it might take forever to load. Generating a new map on a low end PC, for example, is ridiculously slow because of the sheer volume of information that has to be calculated, designated, and stored for a map (as in every voxel, tree, rock, POI, etc. must be created and accounted for).

@Coinspin @DthBlayde I have a fairly good Pc and everytime i first download a new rnd gen map it almost kills my pc and takes forever.

Generating new maps will pretty much always take ages to do. Loading a map after it is generated is much quicker.

Fair enough but thats because it still has to create and load the whole map at once. It's not a continual procedural generation like Minecraft for example, or even how previous Alphas were. My old rig was , by most standards "a good PC" and it ran most games pretty good. Still took me upwards of 20 minutes once A17 changed everything.


What are your system specs?

When I creating a random map with the server I rent it takes over a half hour the first time with this build.

Random map under A17 - took my computer around 6-7 minutes to build.

Same size random map under A18 - takes my computer nearly 15-20 minutes. The time has nearly tripled.

They also need to do work on some of the randomness of the maps. I found roads that lead to a rock face and travel up the side for 10-15 meters and then stops. I've found roads that were tall on the left side of the road, dipped hard to the right and had jagged blocks that lead into the side of a hill.

Seems some random world generation needs tweaking still. Hopefully once they fix out these issues it won't take upwards of 15-20 minutes to generate a random map.

'fairly good' most times someone says this they have some 2005 pc

Well, keep in mind we are still on the experimental run of A18 build, not even to the first stable build yet. Things are likely to be slow and unoptimized at this point.

If I recall correctly, early A17 builds had horrendous RWG times that got better as a little optimization actually was introduced into successive stable builds.

8kx8k rng for me takes around 10 mins

Anyway if it takes 30 minutes to generate the map it's not a good pc...

Fairly good means fairly good and the specs are intel i7 and a nvidia 1060 6GB

[Seftak]

Which i7? It can be from 10 years ago. What's your RAM, hard drive? We need actual specs.

Early gen I5, 12 GB ram, GTX 960 running on a pair of 1 TB Sata drives. Ran 7D at Mid to High prior to A17, took a serious hit from that point on. Ran FF14 on high, Wildstar on High, Grim Dawn, Skyrim, Conan Exiles, Swtor. All perfectly fine for my tastes. But then I'm not someone that needed cutting edge tech, running 4K at 150 FPS. So... call a potato a potato, whatever. Satisfied?

Point is the game is MUCH more resource intensive now with A17 and A18. What ran a game "good" months ago will NOT cut it under the same exact settings. No one's denying it or handwaving it. It simply requires more horsepower or more indepth tweaks to the settings to get it going.

12 min for 8k map on my 6-core 3.4 GhZ I7, overclocked to 4Ghz.
