Make the game open on first try.

[yzmxer608]

I'll have to try that.

[yzmxer608]

As far as the loading times go, when this topic died I moved on and reverted the extra log messages, so I don't know what stage 6 and 7 were around. I can try again, but if we're going to pick it up and drop it once a month it's going to be really inefficient.

Sorry to do this again...

Defrag didn't help, still likes to crash or take forever (usually crash lately) on first start up, or after modifying files (like testing new jms or textures). It did need it though:

One thing I should probably do is make it process messages while it's getting the file list. It won't speed it up but at least it'll keep windows from thinking the app is hanging.

[yzmxer608]

Like I said I'm sorry to bring it up again after such a long time, I just kept putting the defrag off... I suppose it wouldn't be a bad idea to clean out some old skin packs and stuff, since that seems like it makes the load times longer at first.

Getting worse. Literally cannot open my game. taking 5-20 starts even after just playing for an hour, closing and trying to reopen. Nonstop black screen into mx.exe has stopped working

Are you still freezing at "Creating OpenGL context"? I think it's hanging in the driver. I can add more diagnostics but it'll be hard to do anything about it.

[TeamHavocRacing]

Yeah. 10 seconds of hang, and then fails. This time i got lucky and it opened 2nd time or i was gonna compare successive failures

Does it start if you run it with --nosound?

[AWood]

just tried. didnt work

same 10 second from first log to fail. started 2nd try again so thats decent. i dont have 2016 skins in but that only dropped 8 gigs off my personal folder. 120 - 112. should i just remove tracks i dont use

[TeamHavocRacing]

I only have a crash on first try. It always starts second try if happens to crash on first try. It happens about half of the time for me.

Just checking. The game opens DirectSound right after the GL context and doesn't generate any log messages about it, so there was a chance it was hanging there instead. I'll add some more log messages to isolate it, but I'm pretty sure it's hanging in wglCreateContext, which isn't something I have much control over. It's in the driver's hands at that point.
