Newgen World Editor: VERY SLOW

[Koopa124]

It seems as time passes, my NGE just gets slower and slower. When I go to place units, custom or not, it lags horrendously. Is their any ways to make it a little more smoother?
The only background programs I have running are: AIM, Skype, and Firefox.
I have 4GB of RAM, and a 2.2GHz duel core processor running on Windows Vista.

Help please, I'm trying to work on my map, and I just... can't.

What is your graphic card... Processor is only half a game as you still need a graphic card to render the graphics.

JNGP works fine on my computer. Windows 7 ultimate, 6 GB DDR3, I7 processor, Nvidia Geforce 275 GTX. Moving units around still can reduce frame rate but that is because of a poor collision system when moving units.

 

[Koopa124]

My graphics card is a NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT
Relatively new.

Hmm you don't need a good pc - so you can use the Editor. What about your map? For example is you got a mapsize like 480x480 sure this get laggy =)

Do you have a Desktop Pc or a Laptop ? Some Laptops have great hardware, but you can't play even games that came out 5 years ago...

 

[Koopa124]

I think it might just be the map. It's pretty damn big.
256x224

maybe your pc just have some problems, viruses maybe?

I have a map with the same size and it doesn't lag for me (laptop, intel 1.76 dual core, 1GB ram, intel GMA 950, windows XP (as you can see the specs are really not that good and I dont dare use vista on this) and my laptop is pretty old).

Very odd, I use Newgen on a Intel pentium 4 3.0ghz ATI 3850 and 2gigs of ram.
Never had any problems with it.

Try reinstalling it and maby some virus scans.

Omg... It lags couse in map there is a lot of crap maybe custom doodads custom units and lots of doodads!!!

 

[Koopa124]

Yea I have like, a ton of doodads. And I mean a lot. Like 10k trees.

 

[Spoontoobig]

So... and you want that your WE don't lag ? LOL... Even on my other computer 4gb ram 9600 GT 1.5 gb ram of video card :< IT LAGS !

 

[Aesthetics]

Yea I have like, a ton of doodads. And I mean a lot. Like 10k trees.

So it's the doodads + size lag?

 

[MultiGod]

Probably. Try scanning your PC for spywares/adwares. They slow down your PC.

 

[Spoontoobig]

Custom Units, And Lots of Doodads cause lag :> Problem solved [+REP NOW ]

 

[GoGoTauren]

If you have game view running, turn it off (v) it makes it lag horrendously. Also, if you have your camera almost horizontal that lags too, on 256 x 244

Your computer might be due to be defragmented, or need you to fix up the drivers or whatever. Mine was being really gay but i defragged, scanned my drivers etc and it was all fixed up. To do it go onto My computer > right click on C:\, go properties, tools, and all of the programs you need for that are in there.

GO TO Window>Brush List - turn it off

and your editor will be like 10 times faster (you can change names of units in less than a second)

Holy crap alien! thanks repping you even though you didnt meant to help me ^^
