Lag when first time calling ES3.Save after play

[HoshinoArika]

Hi!
I found after each time I enter play mode, the first time the ES3.Save is called is going to make the game frezze for a little bit of time, the later calls will not. I am calling the same method that will create a new directory and a new file (new folder and a new text file for a new save slot).

I tried calling ES3.Init() in Start(), but it didn't help;

Please help! Thanks!

Hi there,

We've had no reports of this. Please can you show me the code you are using, and also let me know if you've changed any settings.

Could you also use Unity's profiler to see exactly what code is causing the slowdown (I recommend using the Deep Profile option which will give you more information).

All the best,
Joel

Please check the attachments for the screenshots of profiler(with Deep Profile ON) and ES3 setting.

The code block executed is

Code: Select all

    public void SaveNewWorld(string worldName, string worldIdentifier, WorldSettingProfile worldSettingProfile)
    {
        this.Log($"Start saving new world {worldName} with identifier {worldIdentifier}");
        CurrentWorldName = worldName;
        CurrentWorldIdentifier = worldIdentifier;

        var saveFilePath = GetWorldSaveFilePath(worldName, worldIdentifier);

        SaveApplicationVersion(saveFilePath);
        SaveWorldSetting(saveFilePath, worldSettingProfile);
        this.Log($"End saving new world {worldName} with identifier {worldIdentifier}");
    }

Code: Select all

    private void SaveApplicationVersion(string saveFilePath)
    {
        try
        {
            ES3.Save(nameof(Application.version), Application.version, saveFilePath);
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            ShowNotification(LocalizedHints.SaveErrorHint, e.Message);
        }
    }

Code: Select all

    private void SaveWorldSetting(string saveFilePath, WorldSettingProfile worldSettingProfile)
    {
        try
        {
            ES3.Save(typeof(WorldSettingProfile).ToString(),
                worldSettingProfile, saveFilePath,
                new ES3Settings(ES3.ReferenceMode.ByValue));
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            ShowNotification(LocalizedHints.SaveErrorHint, e.Message);
        }
    }

where class WorldSettingProfile is ScriptableObject.

It seems that ES3GlobalReferences.get_GlobalReferences() causes the problem

Thanks for sending that over.

Please could you expand the writer.WriteRef() row below the one you have highlighted, and any other rows beneath it until the percentage is minimal or there are no rows left to expand. This will allow me to see precisely what line is causing the slow down.

Also just to check, are you using the latest version of Easy Save?

All the best,
Joel
