Loading time...

[AznStreak]

the loading time for the game seems really slow if you dont extract it into the pako.pak form... loading it in .gz seems to a long time on my em500, more than 5 min...

i'm thinking that its the autoexec.cfg try to get an older version i swear the new one is poo. also u don't have to wait for the demo<br>i stopped the demoo from running which considerably speeds loading

[Paul]

The other guy with an EM500 complained of slow loading too

[Moose or Chuck]

i swear its the new autoexec.cfg i just loaded it and IT SUX, i switched back to the grey walled shitty autoexec.cfg, its depressing<br>

I can't think of a command in the autoexec.cfg file that would cause this. But I will take your word for it. Try commenting out lines in the autoexec.cfg file until it works properly.<br><br>so this:<br>vid_mode 1<br><br>looks like this:<br>/vid_mode 1<br><br>Do this with every line. Yeah, it's a pain in the ass, but I have never had a command affect the load time.<br><br>gz files will probably always take a long time to load- it's the algorithm and Dan doesn't have much control over that part of it. To speed it up unzip it until it is just a PAK file.

well i fixed my .cfg check that other thread for it. i posted the entire thing, i dunno what is wrong or right it looks alot like the new one, but heyy i don't complain. i just play the game.

[AznStreak]

yeah i unzipped the gz, but now it takes up 17 mb!! but it does run one hell of a lot faster now... im gonna try what chuck said....see if it runs faster after that...

<sigh>.. like this is new news?  Everyone has been complaining about the EM500 loading stuff off an MMC to be extremely slow compared to a CF card.  The gzipped pak file off of a CF card took upward of about 1 minute (not that anyone on this forum would remember..) so when you do it off of a MMC (not SD) it is going to be MUCH slower about 5 minutes would be right.  People used to complain about this all the time when PQ was first released for MIPS, the best solution is to just unzip it, or buy a SD card.

How fast can a CF card read per second?<br>As I know mmc card read like 2.5m/second and 10m/sec for sd.<br>

[Moose or Chuck]

what is this sd you speak of??

[SonicSilicon]

SD = Safe Digital. Same form factor as MMC, but allows you to copy encrypted files to it. Mostly it makes the people with copyrighted media happy.

[AznStreak]

lol i always thought that sd equals sandisk heheh, well, they r the company that makes them after all...

[Moose or Chuck]

will still prolly drop to 3 everytime you shot a damn rocket, somebody make that gun easier to shoot. I believe we should make a complete remake of quake new mod and all optimized, different guns that have no stupid extra polys and just coo stuff. It'd be awsome, really you could probably use the mods from other people and just be cool.. i'm babbling now

[AznStreak]

heheh you know that if u highlight the little blue smiley, he becomes angry? .....its just so funny.....

[Moose or Chuck]

Uhm... it is?
