Howdy,
I am running urw 3.50 b2 on win 10. I have fairly cutting edge hardware. i5, nvidia 1070, etc. I am also running the steam version of the game. When zooming in and out of the terrain and world maps, the loading goes VERY slowly. There is also lag when fading in and out of sleep. Tasks take far to long to complete (cutting down a tree etc.). Alt- tabbing seems to have some sort of effect on the framerate. I am running several simple item mods of my own design as well as caethans mod. If you need any other info let me know.

Dying hard disk is something that might cause slowdowns, or getting low on disk space. In any case these are most often system related things, but we can confirm that pretty easily if you just send the savegame (or download link to) so that I can try it out on my end.
Did it start just recently? Does it happen with only one character, or all of them?
You could also try running urw.exe outside of Steam client to rule it if it's the Windows<>Steam Client interaction slowing things down.

Thanks for the reply. I am away from my PC for the next day or so. But I will get back to you with answers soon.

Okay, take your time, no hurries on my end ;)

@Sami I can confirm that it is not a disk problem. It also does not appear to be a steam client interaction. Both of these test positively. I havent played the game recently, so it started as soon as I downloaded the new version. It also appears to happen with all characters. By "save game" do you mean the character file titled the character's name?
-
Yes, it's the character folder that contains/is the save, so that's what needs to be zipped up.

Alright, so zip it up and e-mail over to me, or provide a download link, and I'll test. Also is it so that it slows down pretty much every time you zoom in / out, or go to sleep? Just figuring out how easy it might be to reproduce.

there you are, yes it happens every time I zoom in or out.

Tried it quickly and no slowdowns on my end. The trial differences are that I'm not using any mods and tried this outside of Steam client. However, mods can't interfere to mere zooming in out speed so that can be ignored. Maybe you could also try running the game executable outside Steam client to make sure is not about that. Otherwise, I can't think of anything else than some crazy hard disk / storage space problems/lagging here.
(Maybe somebody else can also like to double check?)
-
downloaded and ran in standalone 3.50b2 windows 10.
I don't se any issue; zooming in, zooming out, or moving then zooming in/out
no other suggestion though.

Anti virus playing tricks either hogging the memory/disk, or deciding to somehow "verify" everything UrW does? Windows indexing?
-
It's not an AV and there is no reason it would be windows indexing. Everything else on the system runs fine.

Quite very odd. And you've tried with new characters, and outside Steam client as well. Some issues with Win10 and Steam in general are known.
And if you don't have UnReal World installed on some completely different disk or storage than everything else in your system then it can't be about the dying/laggy storage either.
Could there be any critical OS or video card drivers pending that would be good to install?
Just out of curiosity you could try running urw.exe in Compatibility mode. (Right click for settings and set compatibility check box on)
-
I will try to run it in compatibility mode. All drivers are up to date.
-
I want to say that this cleared itself up. Not sure what the issue was, had a bunch of stuff going on irl and just forgot about this thread. I guess one the intermediate updates fixed the problem.
-
I know the problem "fixed" itself, but, If I had to bet, I would say It had something to do with the rare bug of the map maintance routine reloading tiles too often... Ir maybe the game dont having support for multi-threating...
Nota site about the last.
-
Frustratingly, this bug is back with a vengeance. This time it arose differently though. I was playing normally. Alt tabbed to adjust my music and when I can back the game was slowed to a crawl, laggy as well. I tried: reinstalling with no mods, restarting pc, doing all possible updates to my system, restarting the game. It persists though all of these.
-
Task manager also shows no undue usage of cpu or other resources.
-
Figured it out, if a screenshot is taken using the steam overlay (accidentally in my case) the game slows to a crawl. Solution is not accidentally hitting the f12 key :)
-
Wrong again it seems. The steam overlay thing was just a coincidence. I'm at a loss. :'(
-
The bug appears to occur and "fix" itself randomly. An hour after my last post, and the game is working again? This makes me think the problem is associated with a specific process...
-
I quit out of the game to write my last post and the game seems to have broke again. It has nothing to do with the steam DRM. I tried the nonsteam version with the same problem.
-
Antivirus scanning? Windows indexing (apparently a Very Important Process)?
-
It is not AV interference of any kind. I have done everything in my power to cripple windows's built in av suite. it isn't indexing either as the game performs fine on my laptop running the exact OS. I would think it is a hardware issue, but the game used to work perfectly.
-
Indexing isn't running continuously, but intermittently. In my case it locks out things like getting the task manager up when its running (there are ways around that).
-
My laptop indexes with no bad effects, Indexing does not seem to be a problem on the laptop at least?
-
This is still a problem. ATM the game is unplayable :'(
-
Is this still a thing? It beats me, and there's not much I can do for it - the random nature seems to indicate system/driver specific issues, if we only knew what was that.
It's been reported many times that Win10 & Steam may get to crawling speed after some Win10 upgrades, but as you tried non-steam version as well then it's not that.
Just out of curiosity, have you tried playing without music/sound?
-
Sorry for the late response, the problem seems to have been with NVIDIA GSYNC, turn it off and the issue goes away.
