Spring RTS Engine

Idk why this happens, but every time i take first screenshot in that game, it makes huge lag, the next screenshots doesnt lag at all...

This behavior wasnt in older spring releases

got too much screenshots?

if it needs to count the numbers first, maybe count while spring is starting and/or just sitting there?

yeah! we need a CPU load aware/balanced screen-saves counter! ASAP!!!

its only 400 screenshots there, deleted now.

doesnt lag anymore

lol cpu counts to 400 in 6 seconds... he doesn't even have a pc, he has some slaves with abacuses in his basement.


edit: i maek politically correct posts k

it must be doing something stupid to take six seconds.

filter by starting with "screen", put them in a list, sort the list, grab the last element, split the number, add one?

idk, my harddrive has been slow lately, like when i open folder, it loads the icons fucking slow, and some folders load long when opened, even when they have only like 100 files in there..

Time to reinstall windows!

psh i did that like 4 months ago

time to backup^2

also shell out $100 on a new drive, or how much these things cost nowadays, $50?

i bought 2 drives, they both broke after 2 days.

seems like god just hates me.

btw are there programs which can copy my whole drive without cloning it ? (i suppose the drive cloning means it copies it like it was CD image... bit by bit in the same order)

Would be cool to copy the drive to another drive, and defragmenting it at same time

put both drives in and start a separate operating system (like from a live cd) able to read/write the filesystem... copy the contents of one drive to the other.

Get a flash drive... best investment u can get. Much better than upgrading CPU or memory.

I have three of these and they pwn.

When u run windows update it installs one update per second. If u run out of RAM and the hard drive begins swapping stuff u don't notice right away because the drive is so damn fast...

i bought one of those, im not so happy about the speeds... about the same speed as my HDD >_>

Same speed... ORLY? Did you try to create 1000000 small files on the drive and measure the time it takes?

nah i just opened some big BMP file (150megs), it was about the same speed in opening that file... now i tried it again, hmm... the speed really changes, sometimes HDD is fucking fast, and sometimes as fast as SSD, and sometimes a bit slower than SSD :/

small files creation speed is worthless really, thats not how i use my HDD anyways.

(proper) SSDs are much superior at random access, you'll have a much snappier system. Sequential access is slower than HDDs except when you pay extreme premium for top-level intel drives, that's why your 150MB bmp test works in favor of HDD.
