Saving time

[Linio]

I did.
But it does not change anything for Ironmade, it's compressed no matter what (it's encrypted so...).
No option is taken, neither Yearly save, neither uncompress.

So yeah, this is one of the possibility : take the options into account for Ironman!

I made a test, indeed the compression takes a heavy load on the saving time.

On a normal game, it takes around 7 seconds for a save, and between 2 and 3 without compression...

Interesting.

Maybe pdox could consider saving to RAM, then doing the encrypting, compressing, and writing out on a second core while the game goes on? As far as I have understood CK2 is essentially single-threaded, so it would work. (At least on multi-core machines, but who hasn't one these days...)

Or they could just remove compression altogether...

Do the dev actually read any of this?

I feel like we're talking in vain here.
What medium should be taken to get attention on this ?

They don't care.

Don't play Ironman if you can't handle the save frequency.

No, on computers without SSD, compression actually reduces save time.

No, one of us should post this in the suggestions subforum. They do read that.

I saw the support one also.

I did create a thread here :
