[FEEDBACK NEEDED] Game slows to a crawl after a few minutes with 936.2

[stolypin]

I'm playing a fairly small scenario using Build 936.2.

Everything works fine for about 10 minutes, then the game slows to a crawl (i.e. 1 second of game time = 30-45 seconds real time).

Memory leak?

Thanks for your feedback [8D]

Im pretty certain we nailed the memory stuff but I'd like to have a look at your scen. Can you zip and attach here please.

Thanks!

Hi guys, I was having a similar issue, I fixed it by uninstalling CMANO, deleting the game folder and reinstalling totally from fresh....

It may help you or not, you may have a totally different problemon...

I haven't seen any signs of this, but this kind of issue probably depends on your computer configuration.

Any suitable save for this?

The game does not seem to crawl, but in the attached scenario, the 5 sec compression time seems slower than normal for
this sized scenario. I have been using the 15 sec time compression which seems similar to the usual 5 sec.

Re: 5x compression - that (and the new 2x compression) runs at 10 pulses per game second when high-fidelity mode is active. It should still run at 1 pulse per game second if high-fidelity mode is not active.

Related (assuming I didn't screw up the above) - the high-fidelity mode text in the "General" and "Game Speed" tabs of the Options dialog box needs to be changed to reflect that it no longer just applies to real-time.

[JPFisher55]

If you uncheck those boxes, then the 10 pulse won't run at all.

Scenario file and save (when game has slowed) attached.

Not seeing a slowdown in the save.

Anyone else ?

How long did you run the scenario? For me, things work fine for about 10 minutes or so and then it grinds almost to a halt. Closing and re-loading gets it going again (for another 10 minutes).

I recall behavior similar to this a year or so ago but haven't experienced it recently until Build 936.

[Dimitris]

There seems to be an intermittent "silent" UI exception popping up. I added a fix which may remedy your problem. Please check on the next update.

Thanks.

I don't believe this is fixed in 936.5.

I'm running the Red Phoenix scenario in the community folder using 936.5 and after 13 minutes, the game has suddenly ground to a halt (the same thing I was experiencing with 936.2).

[Dimitris]

Anyone else experiencing this?

[brucep]

Yes, I've had slowdowns/stops in almost every large scenario I play now. Sometimes switching to another program (e.g. a web browser) clears it and command starts running again but not always.

[Lowlaner2012]

Like I said above, I was getting slow down , but a fresh install solved the problem...

The Red Phoenix scenario is small and I experienced the slowdown with it.

One other fact, in case it's helpful: in both instances in which I have experienced this, the game eventually returned to normal speed after 10 minutes or so. But during that 10 minutes, the game only advanced 2 or 3 seconds.

Is this 13 minutes of game-time or real time?

If you reload the scen, will it still be slow?

Could you post the savegame (when slowed down) here please, so that we can take a look.

Tried uninstalling command. Deleted the command in SteamApps. Reinstalled. It's still hanging. I can restarted it by opening another program (I've used chrome) but in addition to hanging I've noticed that it sometimes lags when typing text into the mission editor. I've attached a save file (that I generated after getting command moving again by opening and closing chrome).
