Grimrock

I browsed the forums and haven't read anything on this subject so it might be rare or just me...

After loading the game using Quick Load the game will have a really bad case of stuttering for +10 seconds. This is extremely annoying and frustrating.

Symptoms are:
Very slow. I don't have exact FPS figures but I'd say around 5 to 20 at the most. If I move during that time, things crawl even more for a while longer. Maybe texture streaming could be a cause or AI hogging resources. My 8 cores are working a lot during that time...

Right now I'm on level 4 and I honestly don't remember having that behavior in prior levels, but I also don't remember having to quick reload much either. Those damn spiders are annoying.

My setup:
i7 2600K (watercooled)
16 GB DDR3
nVidia GTX 480 1.5GB DDR5

Every driver is up to date.

Hopefully a resolution to this can be applied, or a bug fix. Whichever, I'll take it.

Hi, sorry have not heared of that problem before. But, fps can be shown by grimrock for debugging purposes by enableing the debugmode in the grimrock.cfg, see this post. viewtopic.php?f=12&t=2574&start=10#p26796 cheers

Hey,

Honestly the amount of FPS is not really important. Thanks for the info anyway.

For testing purpose I tried something today. I quick-reloaded to make sure the problem was still present (it was), then I manually loaded the quick save (using the menu) and no FPS problem at all.

So from that I take it there's something fishy going on with quick load and my computer, for some reason.

Alright.

I guess this is a :facepalm: moment on my part.

Fraps' video recording was set to F9, so you can imagine loading and recording at the same time didn't quite give a good result.

Move along, nothing to see here.
