Longer load times when (re)starting a level

[buvk]

In vanilla THPS3, starting or re-starting a level is almost instant. In LevelMod, there is roughly a 1 to 2 second pause.

it's a trade-off for the new features. at the very least it generates mip maps for all textures now and it can't be instant. i wouldn't consider that a bug, but rather a low priority optimization request.

Level loading can be optimized, they reload the level several times and I tried to fix it but then the bug appeared in competition. But it also like demo said, new features = longer loading. Also make sure debug mode is not enabled. Also it depends on hardware, for me it’s pretty much instant.

Does disable filtering reduce loading times?

Doesn't appear to make a difference.

Do you have the same issue in this commit https://github.com/Vadru93/LevelMod/commit/2beb1ee1b3d580980eca7cd25d1fb37f9ba57444

[buvk]

The issue occurs in that commit as well

Btw it seems that you need to restart game after disabling filtering to really disable it

Yep, I made sure to do this.

Well then I really don't know what can be the cause of it. And probably it cannot be optimized to be much faster than it already is.

Tagging you since the issue is closed and I'm not sure if you are notified of every comment.

So I already know what it is. It’s some debug info code that I will move to debug version of levelmod. Thanks for the find!
