Half a second freeze : IV

» Sat Jul 31, 2010 5:43 am

Here's the problem I'm having for quite some time now. Every time an enemy hits my character with melee/ranged weapon or bites him, if it's an animal, my game stutters for half a second. It's OK with magickal attacks though. You can see it in my video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COqg8bkk1Eg

I'll start turning off my mods in groups and try to find the culprit tomorrow evening, but by that time I thought maybe someone on the forum knows what's the problem is. Here's my load order:

It may be a setting of streamline, there is in the sl.ini in ../data/streamline folder a setting under "streamsave" section that, if activated, do something like you describe. Tweaking that ini can be the solution.
However when streamline made a streamsave it drop a message ingame in the high-left corner with "streamsaved" in it, this is a telltale sign for a too aggressive streamsave setting, look for it and in that case apply my solution... a look at that ini isn't a bad idea though

I could be misunderstanding something here, so please forgive if that's the case. However, seeing "streamsaved" in the upper left corner is not a sign of a too aggressive streamsave setting... it is a normal message that appears every time Streamline creates a streamsave, and it does not indicate that anything is wrong (actually, it indicates that streamsave is functioning properly and should be considered a good thing!)

Myself, I streamsave every 5 mins and keep 12 slots (an hour of backup). I have also configured it to only save when idle, and various other tweaks to bring the annoyance factor down. The only thing that might make it "too aggressive" (IMHO) would be to set the save increment to something like every minute... but even that shouldn't cause errors (but it would sure be annoying!)

Now that's not to say that Streamline isn't causing your issue. I really don't know, though it seems strange to me. I mainly just wanted to clarify the "streamsaved" message.

Yes there is a misunderstanding and I don't mean exactly that, of course.
What I meant to say is on the line of "if when you see that freeze you see "streamsaved" probably streamline setting is too aggressive"... as far as I know streamsave can be activated when one start combat (hence when one is hit) or when you unsheath the weapons... then a look at that ini can works
Maybe is not the case but is the first thing on top of my head.
And excuse me for that misunderstanding

Solved. It was an awesome cocktail of my custom race with no voices and Elys' Universal Silent Voice Extender with a 1 minute *.mp3 file, which stuttered my game whenever my character got hit and supposed to scream

Assigning him a proper Imperial voice fixed it.

Thank you all for trying.
