Save progress wheel or bar

Post by ethelberttaylo »

Hey, i was wondering if theres a way to add a Save progress wheel or bar or something to indicate it's still saving. I have a lot of data that get's saved and at the moment the game kinda just freezes while it save's and then when its done it unfreezes. This can b worse for people on older devices and just looks like the game has frozen.

Hi there,

Have you followed the Improving Performance guide? In the majority of cases this removes any noticeable drop in framerate.
https://docs.moodkie.com/easy-save-3/es ... rformance/

If you did want to implement a progress wheel which moves while it's saving you would need to call Easy Save in another thread, and ensure that the data you're saving is thread-safe. Then you would just display the wheel while it's saving and remove it once the thread has completed.

All the best,
Joel
