Asset loading - does it work well so far?
Asset loading - does it work well so far?
It's still in beta so I don't know if I should turn it on already or not? Experiences so far with it ?? Is it a no-brainer to turn it on ?

For me, game feels more stable with it turned on. Idk if it actually improves it, or just a placebo.
Re: Asset loading - does it work well so far?
I always have it on, no issues. My understanding is that it prevents stuttering caused by loading civ-specific assets on-the-fly during matches, which was an issue even on legacy (particularly on big mods like WoL). With this option enabled, the game preloads all assets (of civs present in the match) into RAM, before the game begins. So, for example when a church first appears on the map, it's already loaded in RAM and doesn't need to be slowly fetched from disk (which could cause a stutter).
Based on this understanding, I'd say it is a no-brainer to turn it on unless you're low on RAM and already barely able to run the game. Because in that case it could result in exhausting your RAM sooner and once you're out of RAM you're gonna have a bad time.

It's not extremely noticable for me so far. Hard to say.

Yeah, as eaglemut says, it helps with little micro stutters at the beginning of the game. I don't think it helps with the late game lag at all.

That's what it is supposed to do.iron_turtle wrote: ↑17 Jun 2022, 05:17Yeah, as eaglemut says, it helps with little micro stutters at the beginning of the game. I don't think it helps with the late game lag at all.
Late game lag has nothing to do with asset loading since all assets are most likely loaded by then anyway.
I will keep the setting enabled then, thanks for the input y'all
