Slow map loading times

[DarkXess]

Ok, ive asked this question to bushlurker and still we havent come up with a solution yet! ive a problem with my maps loading ingame slowly from a new
binarize, no objects etc, just a pure new map! ive done it the same way as ive done my first ever map Nicosia, but its loading slow as hell, when you
select the map it loads, around 3-4 mins it gets in to the editor! now once in the editor it loads in to game perfectly fast! and ingame also its perfect!
everything I made and how it is, is all working fine.

So, my question is what could be causing this? its annoying me now as ive gone over everything, even all the guides again and again to see if there is
something ive missed, but nothing... also ive looked at the Binarize.RPT and I see nothing serious, other than whats below:

Are you sure it Binarized without errors?
Whats the log say?

Maybe it isn't something on your side, look at that post of the unsung team (scroll down to the bold text).

Have a look at this thread :

.... and try something like this on "target" :

"C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2OA.exe" -mod=@YourMap -exThreads=0

[Bushlurker]

Could be this exThreads thing again I guess...
I couldn't binarize the source you sent me at all... missing OA objects in my current P:\ setup... but I just copied the relevant data & image files into Sgt Aces tut samplemap - added a second surface, then created a new project to your parameters using that as a "shell"... worked fine, binarizes ok apart from my usual non-critical error or two and in game in the editor and preview we're talking 3 seconds to load... I think you'll be disappointed with the result tho... as I said in another post earlier - this is a greyscale of a satmap used as a DEM with a 20m variance between maximum low and high... it's not really working as a terrain without a proper DEM...

I'll send you those files back shortly so you can compare them to your original in case it's any help... Meantime try that -ExThreads=0 in your launch command line as Old Bear suggests - see if it suddenly fixes the loading times thing...

Binarization of the wrp will fix the issue, if not create a CIT ticket and provide all the necessary information.

-exThreads=0 is only a workaround for buldozer - it is NOT useful as a solution for playing.

You mean this:

So, if its an error, how to fix it then?

How to do this then "binarization of the wrp" and also make a CIT ticket?
how and where? thanks.

*Just to add:

Would it matter that ive not got it installed on the C drive? I set it all up properly etc, just on the D drive and not the C.
Apart from that, im not doing anything else, and before my computer reboot it all worked fine!

Check that you're not using any objects from OA that are not "cracked" for binarization purposes binpbo doesn't not work properly if p3ds have new flags from OA. Well, the binarization process does get done somehow, but there are long loading times present in the game itself.

And where did you get this from ?

There are no objects, this is a clean project nothing more than the island itself! sats, maps, textures, etc... im using the takistan .paa as with the re-edited takistan config file, its all working great in game, just the loading times are killing me! lol. Please dont say this is the problem? ...

What about that error if any im getting in the rpt for binarize? is it something ive got to worry about, the cause of the problem? anyone know of it?

Thanks IceBreakr

Edit:

Ok, now Bushlurker sent me a testmap which I did and was doing the same thing, he has sent it me back just for me to biniarize, so whatever it he has done its worked! lol.
I notice he has CUT the configs right down bare, and also took all the stuff from takistan out! so im now thinking it could of been this problem like IceBreakr said, something that
the binarize doesnt like with uncracked files etc...

So now the question is, how DO you uncracked these files to use? lol.
