Presumably those for whom the load time are working fine are all self-compiled, and those of us who are simply play-testing with the precompiled binaries have the slow load times?

If that's the case, can one of those who have no problem loading try installing a copy of the latest installer and see if slow load times are reproducible that way?

Is the nightly compiled in release mode? I so this might be a release-only bug, like the the slow air combat one

Not sure if that question was directed at me. The version I'm using shows:

I checked this. As DarkRain said, it seems to be a problem of the installer.

Let us know when it's done and I'll try to install the new build & see if it fixes the problem.

The fix is in place. You can check it out with the next nightly build.

I just tried

from both the EXE-only and full installer nightly builds, and load times are unchanged. Loading a relatively young game (08-May-2084) takes 9.5 seconds; loading a late game (20-May-2085) takes 31.5 seconds.

slot4.savx = May-2084
slot7.savx = May-2085

Any progress at squishing this? (Checking while looking to see if anybody else has had issues with the bug I reported last night.)

Can be this memory allocation issue? On save loading it happens a lot. And a later save - more to parse (and make small memory allocations).

How many RAM have affected users?

I don't think so.

I have 64GB in my machine, so that's extremely unlikely.

My laptop (which machine is the one that runs UFO: AI) is a 2.00 Gb RAM machine. That certainly might explain why my load times are longer than SS's.
