Spring RTS Engine

Is it normal for spads to take 2-3 hours for first load when there are about 60 maps present and just a single game.
Do I somehow have to clear out pr-downloader versions of old games versions?

No it's not normal.
Can you find which step exactly is taking that long by taking a look at SPADS log file (spads.log) ?

Also, what should loglevel be set to? my spads.log files are getting very large :D

For normal operation, you can keep the default log level which is 4 (information).

Here you are using the log level 5 (debug), which is ok if you want to investigate temporarily a problem, but not really good for long term usage in production as it produces very verbose outputs as you noticed.

According to the following line from your log, the culprit here is the unitsync library: The archives loading process only consists in unitsync library calls, so I guess something in your Spring archives directories makes unitsync run very very slow on first scan. You can try to take a look at the unitsync.log file which might contain more info, but I see nothing wrong at SPADS side for now.

Thanks bibim, ill take a look!
