38%

[Mojotronica]

What is the game doing when it is 38% loaded in the start-up process? It always takes a lot of time to move past it.

In past versions, it would often crash at 38% -- freezing and forcing me to re-boot to get a game going.

I dont know if the precentages is acually accurate (For example exactly how many % of the MB loaded)

It might be sorted by how many files were loaded, in this case, i think that file at 38% is really big

Ya, mine goes slower at 38% too

I think I've read before that 38% is where graphics are loaded

 

[Tomoyo]

Odd... mine pauses at 37%.

 

[GeZe]

mine goes down at 56%

 

[Civrules]

Mine always stops at 38% too...The graphics explanation seems reasonable.

 

[sampedestal]

with civ3, it was always 57%. with conquests, its 38%

For me, it was 37% for Vanilla, 38% with c3c. I assume they added one more thing to push it up that 1%.

I got 38 everywhere.
Someone has that as there sig. Who was it?

Hmm, you're right. I used to see him in the C3C forum. Just don't remember who it was.

This was raised a long time ago. IIRC, the conclusion was that this is the point of placing all the units (and graphics) on the map. Hence, later in the game, the pause is longer (more units).

That's weird, mine stops for a while on 78%. That's later on in a large game.

I was me LLXerxes, someone told me a long time ago that when the slider stops when loading it's putting down the map and units (basically the graphics).

i also remember seeing your sig stuck at 38% before and it's the first thing popped up in my mind when i see this thread, sabo.

Same here for me. But there's plenty of time to fix an adult beverage while you're waiting

 

[HamaticBabylon]

Maybe I should be the "stuck at 37%" dude!

Yup, it's you sabo.
I remember the cool avatar!
Back on topic, 38% is very common in the game. Is it some subliminal message, easter egg? CHeat?

I had this problem on my old laptop which had a poor graphic's card ,since have built new pc with new card. no problems yet.

Thanks LLXerxes, I don't think there is anything subliminal about it and my computer is fast enough that it doesn't get stuck at 38% for too long. I coudlnt think of anything else to put down for my sig at the time so I picked one EVERYONE can relate too

Loading my ultra big map SG (362x362 tiles) always gets stuck at 72%. That takes a lot more time than 38% (5 times as much at least).
