Slow loading saves

I have been unable to locate the cause of the issue.

Thank you for your investigations into this, we shall look at this immediately.

That sounds like a valuable find, although I am not experiencing the extreme load times referenced in this thread.

I ripped the quest out, no diff.

I've also tried older versions of NVSE to see if that was the issue. No diff.

I tried Ershin's method and my game loaded within 10 seconds, a vast improvement from the 2+ minutes I was experiencing.

Something within TTWFunctions is to blame for these load time issues. Great find Ershin.

Holy dang...it worked. Went into FNVEdit, opened up the TaleofTwoWastelands.esm, went down to Quests, deleted TTWFunctions, loaded up my save that was sitting at 2-15 minute load times, and within 15 seconds it loaded.

You guys realize you just nuked the main controller quest for TTW, and totally ruined any chance of TTW being able to do much of the things you people love TTW for, right?

The team is of the impression that you didn't. You may have mitigated the issue in *your* save, but after a team member testing several ways from Sunday we've concluded this is not the fix you all are hoping for.

For what it's worth I used the compare tool in FNVEdit on TTW2.4a and TTW294b. If I did it correctly, the only difference I see in TTWFunctions is Stage 253. The embedded script size is smaller and the SCDA compiled script is different, but the script source is the same.

Both versions are referenced by TTWFunctionsSCPT [SCPT:0C00DFAC] which is slightly different.

Don't know what most of it means except for maybe the TTWGameRestarted - NVSE check.

The NVSE check was moved.

The team (mostly skywizard) is about to rip apart and rebuild the TTWFunctions quest. Doing that and testing on a new save is the only way to really know for sure.
