30 Second AutoReload Times While Coding[CLOSED]

[Geckos]

As my game has been getting larger the reload time for it has been increasing as well. It takes about 20-30 seconds to open from Ren'Py Launcher and about as long to reload the game when I'm coding it as it's set to autoreload whenever I save.


It started doing this before my game was around 180mb and now it's around 240mb in size.

Note: The game also soft crashes if I make another change/save before the 1st one is done reloading. It just sits on the Reloading screen forever until I close out of the game and reopen it.

The long reload times make it very hard to make tiny tweaks, and in general makes it slow down coding a great deal.

Is this normal? Just something to be expected as I work on larger games, or is there anything I can do to troubleshoot this?

You can look at log.txt to see what's taking the time. It usually isn't this slow.

Is this bit the total load time?

After discovering that my partner could open the same game in around 4 seconds, I went and deleted and reinstalled Ren'Py and now it opens and refreshes the game in just a few seconds. Mystery problem solved!
