i no longer enjoy playing stepmania anymore

choof · 02-7-2015, 03:52 PM

solely because it takes upwards of 5 minutes to load all my songs

5 minutes is a long time to wait for arrow smashing. I don't think I could handle it either.

Btw, get rid of your otaku anime bs packs.

**ItsOnlyDanO** · 02-7-2015, 03:54 PM

delete the packs you don't play

Mine does too (usually a lot longer I think) and if it crashes at any point for any reason I cry for at least a week. (The week it takes to load back up). When I tell people it takes a long time on SMO they always tell me to do something.. but I've never done it because I don't know how to do whatever it is they tell me to do. Putting my SM somewhere online and accessing it like a launcher would access an MMO or something? Idk.

Edit: Opening SM now just to time it (I'm curious).
Edit2: Taking a LOT longer than I expected. I was never sure because I normally click to open it and then walk away / go to the bathroom / get a drink / chat in PC or TS / Skype etc. I never actually pay attention and specifically wait for it so it seems to go by faster I think.
Edit3: From double-click to menu music was 21 minutes and 22 seconds. Ouch.

I have separate Stepmanias for separate playstyles so that I can distribute the songs across multiple programs which results in faster load times

I think I actually have four Stepmanias in total

yes that is me overseeing my manias

I have one stepmania for pad and another for kb,but both take about 3 mins to load anyways.

**gold stinger** · 02-7-2015, 05:51 PM

aren't there options in settings to prevent reloading of songs that have already been loaded before?

Found that was usually the problem for long wait times on startup. Load songs that only have had changes done to them.

I do this too.
I have three, one for my own stuff (by far the biggest one rofl), one for packs I actually play, and one for all the bullshit that I downloaded and probably never looked at.
If I played 6k a lot or something I'd probably have a separate one for that as well.
