Frequent saving/loading causes extreme lag

[aivarioha]

What title says. Saving and loading a lot causes battles to be very laggy. I am talking about 2-3 FPS. And that is the reason why this happens because when I restart the game and run the battle again the freezes are gone. However, the game with a PoP mod takes a lot of time to load even with a decent SSD and I am trying to avoid that by trying to find a solution how to bypass this issue? I tend to save/load a lot because of my playstyle and reckless decisions and I would like to keep it that way.

Anyone?

p.s. I used to play PoP like a year or two ago and did not have this issue.

PoP 3.8.4 version
Warband 1.172
OS: Windows 10

PoP has nothing to do with it.
It's a general Warband issue that occurs in any mod.
There are no solutions that I know of.

It is due to Warband memory leak. Play more carefully, save the game as often as you want, but less loads. Restart game from time to time

BTW Just checked and on old Crucial M500 256GB POP takes 80sec to load.

It takes me about 103 seconds to load from an SSD... 20 seconds for PoP load screen to show up after launching client and then ~80 seconds for "Loading Textures".
Almost like when I had HDD back in a day... So slow.

The time I have quoted was from the Warband's splash window to the POP's main window. Not sure why it takes 20sec longer for you as my SSD is not the fastest or newest.

91 seconds on ~10-year old HDD with "load textures on demand" from pushing "play" button in the launcher to seeing the main menu.
88 seconds without loading textures on demand.

For those who don't want to wait - just play in windowed mode.
While the game is loading, you can just read the forum, check e-mails and so on.

Or,  if you have 8GB RAM your PC should be able  to handle 2 instances of windowed Warband. Just start the 2nd one in advance and terminate 1st. Seamless sessions

You can play smart phone or read a book as well

It's absolutely genius!

Or i7 + 16GB = 6 instances + web browsing (max I have tried).

I haven't had this issue since the latest WB updates. It used to be really bad before that though.

I also get the issue a lot harder now.

I just close and re-open the game after a few hours. The lag problem (which is manifested by the action of units doing damage to each other) used to happen a lot sooner in earlier versions.

I have this issue too.

It's really strange, because I don't get it in like, Warsword, for example.

But I do get it in Viking Conquest.

It's got to be a bug with the way something is modded. Not all mods have the issue.

It happens to me regularly, i think it because you played the game for a long time enough. Save and Restart the game. And (for me) it works (the lag is gone).
