As you can see the attached file, saving duration is too long(about 2.5min). Is it normal? It seems reasonable time consuming to play with 70MB xml file, but it makes the autosave feature obscure  Using Intel 2160 CPU(duel core, overclocked to 2.8Ghz), 2gb ram, x86 OS(XP sp3). Not a fancy system, but I think it's not too slow computer...

Attachment: skyr.png [6.71KiB |Viewed 25236 times ] Even more, the game crashed BEFORE saving procedure terminated, for now. ("Staging world state into XML structures", "Writing to ~~~.xml.gz" are done, but no "write to disk" message appeared.) Any troubleshooting guide? I'm using the most recent Onlink version(0.2.0 a8 r23). |

It's a known issue specifically with XP, and we're looking into it. Hang tight. |

Miah, before I hunt this problem down, can you think of anything that would cause this?

Maybe my savefile would be helping(or not. Who knows?). I played about 3 game-days, and I did no quest-line or "special" missions. I made 27 denial clients, but it will hardly matters for this problem, I think. However, the uncompressed savefile has 75mb, which I think pretty big size for little progress. I forced to re-compress the XML file because gz-compressed savefile exceeded 5mb.

i cant quote it but took about 550 second last time i tried to go out of onlink i think the "save as XML" idea didn't work out 2 good - its simply 2 slow >.<, should make some sort of binary-format instead, also if removing the compression would make "noticeably faster", i wouldn't care if it so used 10x the size ps:using v 0.2.0-a8-23-g0c617cf and i haven't even came so very far yet, only got log deleter/proxy disabler v5/ start stuff |

Don't now about that, it works fine for me. Try running it as admin, it does need privliges for app data. |

Are you on XP? If you're on XP, this is a known problem and a fix is being worked on. -- Griffinhart EDIT: I'm merging this thread with the other thread re: saving/loading times. |

i cant play onlink untill this is resolved )-: btw what i can tell on my pc at least, an excessive amount of memory is being used, and its constantly "using the pagefile" while saves... >.< (even if its more ram available) |

Note that the problem is XP-specific. If you use any other OS, things seem fine. We're working on resolving this, but we need to identify what DLLs Onlink is using on Windows XP, so we can bundle the correct ones with it. Theoretically, once the correct DLLs are discovered, we can just push out an update and everyone with XP will start having decent save times. |
