suggestion for the starmade exiting procedures
[DOUBLEPOST=1449368003,1449367932][/DOUBLEPOST]how about when you exit the main in game window you are directed back to where you choose your server that you are going to play on, that way if u hop servers quit a bit waiting for your other server to update, you dont have to constantly keep multiple windows open

It would still take time to load different configs.

If you want it to be really fast, resources such as textures need to persist in memory between (1)servers and (2)login-accounts on that server.
(2)That would also help possible community-mods for sub-accounts to switch characters.

can you define what you mean by that
cause im not understanding what you mean, like different server configs?

 

[NeonSturm]

Every time the game needs to search in the text which happens to be a XML-like config file for the values.
And every time you start the game, pictures and files need to move from hard-drive to ram.

If that would persist in ram, as a binary rather than text version of local settings, a lot of the load time would be saved.
The memory consists of {program code, configs, resources, block/game-data, server-resources} and the first 3 things don't need to reload all the time.

Perhaps schema could make it so SM checks wether a file's timestamp got modified and else load a binary version of the files to speed up the load process.

ummm, not a big computer geek but i understood part of it,
