Initializing names (when loading a game) takes a long time?

koohead · 01-29-2010, 02:57 PM

Anyone run into a problem where the game load seems to hang for about 2-3 minutes on Initializing names (at 100%), but then finishes eventually and the game loads? Just seemed to start happening and never took that long before.

I have this happen too. I did just convert from 11. I also deleted my retired players.dat after simming 30 years.

Yes, I'm having the same problem. Is there a fix or must we live with this inconvenience?

I have that issue with just one league. I believe it's the Kalama quick start for OOTP 11 that I converted to 12. I know it has it's own nations file and name file so that might have something to do with the load time, although I'm unsure.

I get concerned with an eventual crash , but it hasn't happened yet.
I backup the file quite often just on case.

All my other solo leagues are not effected with long load times.
