Map unscuppered by PC

[N.P.C.]

I have my first, map all ready and built and it needs its final compile in order for it to work properly so I started a compile at about 11AM this morning and it still was on 2 on the base portal flow section when I got home something it had been stuck on when I left - I'll give it another try tomorrow but it appears my PC may lack the power needed to compile it, for reference these are my computers specs:

Intel Celeron 2.0GHz
521MB DDR RAM
MSI P4MAM-V 533FSB
40GB Hitachi Deskstar 7K80

I think that is the most relevant stuff I think.

and try getting a real processor

 

[N.P.C.]

Hazar: Yeah the thought occurred but I'm on a budget here.

Yeah I have done everything to optimise it as much as I can.

 

[Hazar]

yeah, optimize the hell out of it literally

try letting it compile overnight or something

 

[N.P.C.]

Well I'll keep that in mind but having said that it was compiling for 8 hours straight it didn't budge from the 2 section so I think its freezing up the PC. Yeah I will try and optimise it some more.

I have never heard of a compile freezing. Just going verrry slowly.

I agree with Raeven0.
You could use a batch compiling program instead and turn on all messages and progress displays. This way you will be able to see the real progress of the compile and get a rough estimate of how much time is needed to compile your map.
