Very long loading times at default internal resolution

Open NicknineTheEagle opened this issue 9 months ago • 4 comments

Validation

  • [x] I have checked the Issues page to see if my problem has already been reported
  • [x] I have confirmed that this bug does not occur in the original game running on original Xbox 360 hardware

Describe the Bug

The loading times for some stages are very long, for example Savannah Citadel Day Act 3 and Eggmanland Act 1. Eggmanland in particular takes over a minute and that includes the points where you switch between Sonic and Werehog. Strangely, this issue disappears if I reduce internal resolution to 45% (which is 864x486 on my display) and Eggmanland loads in like 5 seconds.

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the bug:

  1. At 1920x1080 display, set internal resolution to 100%.
  2. Start Eggmanland Act 1 from World Map.
  3. The loading screen takes a very long time.

Expected Behavior

The loading times are consistent regardless of resolution.

Specifications

  • CPU: Intel Core i3-1115G4 @ 3.0 GHz
  • GPU: Intel UHD Graphics
  • GPU Driver: Intel driver 32.0.101.6559
  • OS: Windows 10
  • Version: 1.0.0

Additional Context

Issue occurs with both D3D12 and Vulkan renderers in case that's relevant.

Seems to me that you lack ram to be able to load fast those levels. Whats your ram?

I have 8 GB of RAM, that should be enough, no? Also, even if that's the case, it's still strange how Eggmanland takes like 2 minutes to load at 66% resolution scale but it goes down to 5 seconds at 45% resolution scale.

Indeed it is peculiar. I suspect that you actually need more than 8 GB of ram because the integrated gpu also needs ram to work with. When running the game, I consume 7 GB of ram plus 3 GB of vram which totals 10 GB needed to run. Your system might need those extra 2 GB. If you had 12 or even 16 GB, I believe you wouldn't have that problem. So, naturally, if you reduce the resolution scale, your gpu needs less ram to run the game.

No, 12 GB is not enough, I'm telling you
