Game Loading Lag Percentage

[fe3333au]

Just wondering ... when i load saves from long running games my computer also seems to lag at the same percentage.

my Magic Lag always happens at 38%.

Does this happen for other players?
If so does it always happen at 38%?

As mentioned just wondering

it usually happens to me at 33%. but that is when i'm started a new game even. i guess the producers had a thing for the 30's.

EDIT: sorry, it's not 33 for me, but it's 38% for me too. i didn't play yet today and i just loaded a game and the number stopped at 38%. must be where the most stuff is put together i.e. starting locations and civilopedia like others said.

I think that may be the point when where the units are loaded.

Do you mean the units on the map, or just all the unit rules from the editor, so to speak?

38% for me too.

Some one wrote something on this before. It would be units on the map, which would explain why it gets longer as the number of units increases. I wish I new who wrote it.

38% here too, I believe that is where the world has been created and starting locations are determined.

I think it's 37% for vanilla, and 38% for C3C...

Yes - someone even had "stuck at 38%" as their signature I believe.

I recall that the discussions concluded it was drawing the units on the map that required the time, but I don't know if this was the result of definitive information (eg from Firaxis) or simply speculation...

In Vanilla 1.07 it was 57%. Now it's 37. And it becomes more obvious in the late game. It's probably when it calculates units and their positions. I don't think that calculating map would be longer in later ages.

Oh yeah, it was Sabo... even though he had a really fast computer, and thus did not experience it.
