TQVault is slowing down the loading of the game

[TheWagi]

Hello,

Please move the backups out of SaveData you are slowing the game's loading.

When you click on "Start" the game opens and closes all map.dat files of all characters, located in SaveData\Main and located in SaveData\User (x number of mods).

Those files:

C:\Users\User\Documents\My Games\Titan Quest - Immortal Throne\SaveData\Main\_Character\Backup-moved by TQVault\Normal\map.dat
C:\Users\User\Documents\My Games\Titan Quest - Immortal Throne\SaveData\Main\_Character\Backup-moved by TQVault\Epic\map.dat
C:\Users\User\Documents\My Games\Titan Quest - Immortal Throne\SaveData\Main\_Character\Backup-moved by TQVault\Legendary\map.dat
C:\Users\User\Documents\My Games\Titan Quest - Immortal Throne\SaveData\User\_Character\Backup-moved by TQVault\Normal\map.dat
C:\Users\User\Documents\My Games\Titan Quest - Immortal Throne\SaveData\User\_Character\Backup-moved by TQVault\Epic\map.dat
C:\Users\User\Documents\My Games\Titan Quest - Immortal Throne\SaveData\User\_Character\Backup-moved by TQVault\Legendary\map.dat

Example:

• 50 characters in SaveData\Main
  • 40 in Legendary
  • 7 in Epic
  • 3 in Normal
• 20 characters in SaveData\User
  • 16 in Legendary
  • 3 in Epic
  • 1 in Normal
• 15 mods installed

Let's count how many map.dat files are opened and closed, if I used TQVault on all my characters.

• From SaveData\Main: 137 = (40 * 3) + (7 * 2) + (3 * 1)
• From SaveData\User: 855 = (16 * 3 * 15) + (3 * 2 * 15) + (3 * 1 * 15)

This means 992 files are opened and closed during the loading of the game due to TQVault's backups location.

Thank you

Wagi

Hi!
making a Backup-moved by TQVault.zip instead of a directory should prevent the game to read the map.dat files.
