Huge delay when I start the game
Posted: Wed Oct 24, 2012 7:33 pm
It can take almost 1 minute when I start the game by clicking on its icon until I see the game's menu. When I close the game and start it a second time, the delay is completely gone and the game starts in less than a second. After a certain time, the problem returns again. Quite annoying.
After some testing I noticed that it's related to the folder fontconfig in temp. I like to clean my temp folder on a regular basis, since it's breeding ground of all kind of software issues, spam and viruses. Deleting fontconfig shouldn't have such a huge impact on this game. In my opinion the temp folder should only be used for temporary files. Files that should not be deleted by a user emptying the folder, should stay open so that they are impossible to delete. Emptying a temp folder should have no negative impact.
