Ok. I will check this specific zone crossing.
Zone loading optimizations are tough, but I keep improving the system. The problem is that with every optimization there are more and more buildings and objects in game to load!
The original loading code wouldn't even be able to handle the loads nowadays.
I do have some questions (and I think we discussed this before):
1) Are you running any anti-virus programs? These will affect and often greatly impede loading. If so, which program (or programs) are you running?
2) If so, have you compared crossing these zones with all anti-viruses turned off?
3) Do you run other programs while playing Xsyon and loading or crossing zones? (Many players like to switch to other programs while loading the game, which only further slows down loading).
Thanks!
