Hi guys. I need an advice on performance adjusting, if only this is not the hopeless case of Java-way of making games.
There are two issues: loading time and a bit of a lagging after several hours of continuous play.
I'm using rather old laptop with 4gb ram onboard, x64 JRE, and vmparams ajusted to -Xms1024m -Xmx4096m. Actually game never reaches more than 3.7gb cos windows needs some as well. So is it ok to allocate entire available memory for SS or should I use something like -Xmx3072 instead?
After playing compaign for almost two ingame years loading can take up to 15 minutes depending on weather on Mars. Savefile is only 5mb zipped and about 80mb unpacked. Is there any way to speed it up? Maybe saveCompression option? Not sure if it is already enabled in SS+.
*Sorry if I'm the hundredth who is asking such questions.
