Mac OSX Slow compiling because "reading config delta "

Hi,

I tried to find answer to my problem with no success. When I start compiling my game all works smooth and fast before line of output below ->

Reading config delta '/GAME/options/main/inherited/options_main.inherited.yy'

Anybody know why this process takes so long and how to make it faster?

I'm working with mac os and the latest upgrade of both Game maker studio 2 and runtime.

Thanks in advance!

Do you have any AV or system protection software running that could be interfering with the compiling process and causing it to hang?

Could you post the full output log?

Hi!

I don't have AV or system protection software running, so shouldn't be it.

For future reference, with output that long it's usually best to wrap it in spoiler tags (and code in code tags).

From your log I see "Reading config delta '/Users/Jake/Dropbox/Pelit/koysipeli 20191109 - 2/options/main/inherited/options_main.inherited.yy'"

Is the project being loaded into GMS2 and run from your Dropbox folder?

If so - DO NOT do this.
You risk losing your work and/or your project becoming corrupted due to the way Dropbox locks and syncs files causing issues with GMS2.
Work from your local hard drive and then backup onto Dropbox when you have finished - but even better would be to start using proper Source Control.

Copy the project from your Dropbox folder to a local hard drive, load that into GMS2, clean the cache (broom icon) and try recompiling and see if the delay improves.

Thank you for your comments, I had no idea dropbox could do that. Source Control has been under my agenda, should put some effort into learning to use it...

Also sorry for not using spoiler tags, will do from now on!

I also did what you asked and it really actually helped a bit, got my compiling time from 50 seconds to 40 seconds. From that "Reading config delta" - action takes around 20 seconds. Any way to optimize this..?

Thanks!

Looking at the amount of texture pages you have I can assume the project is pretty big? It may just be that this is the time that GMS2 needs to parse and compile that part of the project. If it takes 20secs on that file when you test or compile a smaller project, then it might be worthwhile filing a bug though.

Game is fairly big, yes, but most of the graphics and audio haven't been implemented yet, that's why I'm a bit concerned of my compile time at the moment. I will look for best practises for optimizing compile time. Thank you for help!

Does it still hang on that section with a fresh empty project?
How about a smaller project than your current one?

Is there a correlation between the time taken and project size?

i checked few older versions of the game and yes, there is certain correlation with project size and compile time. I guess the amount of assets in the game simply takes more time to compile.

Hi,

I did comprehensive deconstruction/reserach to my project and found out my compile time is long because of large amount of rooms and objects in them. When I delete all but 1 room, my compile time lowers from 50s to 7s. This made me wondering, is there any way for game maker to compile specific rooms to make prototyping a level A LOT faster? Alternatively I'm thinking of maybe dividing my level-testing to another project with no other rooms and importing it to main project when needed. Latter solution is a bit harsh thought, because of manually updating rooms to main project takes time and effort and makes small changes to levels more time consuming to make. Any thoughts to this dilemma (a bit off-topic, but other people definitely must have same problem which correlates with compile time)?
