Loading time problems! [closed] Created 21 years ago2003-12-22 18:19:53 UTC by Soup Miner

When I create a mid-size to big level (Ex: big_city) whenever I try to test my level, it takes forever to load! Sometimes it doesn't load at all, it just sits there and changes the mouse to the hourglass until I close it with the task manager. Is there anyway I can spped up the load time of my levels?

Have you checked your console for anything strange... That's the place it should come up. You might have some errors in your map that's stealing cpu resources. Run a problem check. Do a full Vis.

There is nothing wrong with my levels. Noting ever comes up in the console. It could just be because of my computer though.

What computer do you have?. I?ve made a big level and takes a while to load in HL, it may be something natural but... Never hangs up.

Hmm, could be a texture problem with .wads

The compute I have is an e machines. I got it in 2001 or 2001 and it has integrated, non-great graphics, so odds are, my computer is the problem.

Integrated graphics... :
That's one thing you really should change, since integrated cards uses the system memory for storage of data instead of the optimised on a card. Getting a card would speed up graphics and give the system more available memory.

You might want ot get a good radeon, or an NVidea Gforce...

either way, you need a card and display that suppourst 24-bit rendering, otherwise, some dark areas of hl will show up Green
