Spring RTS Engine

Just recently when loading a game I have found that I end up seeing "creating sky" for about a minute, instead of the few seconds I was seeing it before. This long delay is often enough to cause me to time out of games.

I don't know what's causing this, my PC is no slouch, my internet is fast and I've tried re-installing spring to no avial.

Any ideas?

Edit: Sometimes I get into the game and can see other ppls text, points etc but my name is red and I cant do anything. Shorty after that the game closes and I'm back at the lobby.

can someone close it?

use the search ...
it is multiple times discussed.

PS: it is caused by some lua widgets/gadgets, which prebuffer a specific constance and it is already solved in the SVN.

Link to a search that shows threads like this.

Enter game then crash
CA takes ages loading

1. I didn't think the game was crashing.
2. I dont play CA.

I don't think you should be so quick to make me out to be a noob just because you've encountered this issue a couple of times.

In particular the healthbars widget caused this hardcore lag for me. So try disabling that and see if it helps.

Thanks.

widgets that can cause this lag are:

• healthbars
• dps (rpg style)
• xp/rank
• ETA
