DR 1.8.0 freezes when loading.

I've been having the "takes minutes to load shaders" problem for quite a while now. When I first mentioned it, folks said they weren't seeing the problem, and it must be my system.

 

I've never had it freeze, but waiting 3-4 mins for shaders to be loaded is a productivity killer.

 

The only solution I can offer is that if you know you're about to load a large map, kill DR and restart it. Then the shaders will load quickly.

 

Lately, I've been experiencing a several-minute hang when turning filters on and off. This didn't start until 1.8.0.

Yeah the previous version 1.7.2 didnt have this issue.

 

I've that OrbWeaver is about as he posted on another thread -

 

@ Orbs can you take a look into this..? Stifu updated DR from 1.7.2 to 1.8.0pre and that's the version Gman and myself have been having issue with.

If you haven't already, it'd be best to just create an issue on the bugtracker for that, grayman. Sounds like something serious.

 

By any chance, do you guys have spaces in your D3-dir? I had some delay problems with the preferences dialog, which I believe were (partially at least) caused by spaces in my D3-dir.

My D3 lives in C:\Program Files (x86)\Doom 3\. This was where D3 installed itself by default.

 

This is a problem? I've only had the long delays since 1.7.1.

 

I also have long delays on the Preferences->Game window. Anything I type in there freezes the screen for a couple minutes.

That's issue #3245, which is fixed by now. These issues shouldn't be correlated however.

Ok, it was worth a shot.

Being a programmer himself, I guess grayman would probably be able to identify usefull information on this matter a little better. (Not meaning to step on your toes here though, BD.)

Not at all mista, you and Gman know far more and are better placed to look into this. Although as OrbWeaver is now around maybe we should ask him..?

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
