I think i have the same problem with XP, took off autosaving and the game quits/crashes when trying to logout from the Onlink user, therefore not saving my progress. Upgraded to Windows 7 and still have the same problem  Worth noting that im not that far into the game, same as Hans, Proxy disabler v.5, 1st Gateway etc. |

You "upgraded" to Windows 7. As in, via the installer 'Upgrade' option, or reformatted and installed Windows 7? If the former, that's interesting news, because that means that Windows 7 isn't distributed with whatever is causing the problem, but it doesn't eliminate it on an upgrade, either. |

Sorry yeah bad phrasing, i installed Windows 7 from scratch. Just spent an hour on Onlink, and has happened again  ....seems like it hangs for a few minutes then it states Run Time error before telling me Onlink will now close.Not sure if the following may be partly correlated in any way: -'Connecting to the gateway' at the beginning can take a few minutes. -Fast forwarding the game sometimes brings this message (also happened in XP): 'Onlink has recovered from a serious error. Please zip and send your player profile to forensics@onlink-mod.net. Your player profile is still stable and you may resume play.' |

It'd also be helpful to see the specs of the machines encountering the issue (especially pertaining to the processor). I suspect it could be a scheduling issue, which would actually be pretty easy to fix. |

short,Intel Core Duo, 1,66 GHz, SSE3 1 GB physical memory (interesting enough, onlink uses over 500 MB ram while loading, using the pagefile allot even when more physical memory available, and disabling the pagefile=onlink crash on load..) |

I really need a multi-factored poll for this. I need a poll that covers this: 1. Are you experiencing the load/save duration issue? 2. What operating system are you currently running? Did you use the "upgrade" install option to upgrade from a previous version? If yes, what OS did you run previously? 3. What processor do you have? Single core? Dual core? Hyperthreaded? It'd be great to get a graphical representation of this. Anyone want to set up a poll for this, somehow, somewhere? I'd really like to get this load/save issue resolved before we really get Cerberus going. |

I believe XP doesn't maintain any kind of buffer for file writing operations, which means that each fwrite() will be a system call, so I would advise keeping a buffer in memory and then writing save files in one shot. |

1) Yes. But only save seems to take quite a long time<snip> 2) XP home. "Upgraded" from 98 SE. 3) Core 2 DUO E8400 (3GHZ) Hope it helps. |

I never did. I've just used my windows 98 SE and windows XP "Upgrade" disk ever since. |

We do that already.And Windows XP does buffer file operations, like any other sane operating system. |

You say that as if you thought XP was sane.
