To bad, after entering a map editor with installed mods the problem is still there...

EDIT:
The 11.07.2014 build completely reads in all Mod ZIP files only while entering the map editor (so you can select one while creating a new map).
The current builds reads in all installed mod ZIP files while starting the game (and again, while entering the track editor).

After applying the workaround described above (temporarily renaming the Skins or Mod folder), no Mod ZIP's are read in while starting. But if you enter a title, the Mod ZIP's are now read in (and again, while entering the track editor)...
Until now the Mod ZIP's are again read in while starting the game... So the workaround is no workaround.

Also got the issue with Maniaplanet starting up really slow. Sometimes it takes up to a minute to show the login screen.

1 minute? That's really bad, it doesn't happen to me. Max waiting time is 10 seconds or so..

+1 quote from acceleracer_01 but it's longer for me ! i can walk away make a cupper..
i have also found out if i make the screen smaller "like into the bar at the bottom" it helps to speed it up..
i have no idea why.but if i leave the page open it hang's so much i feel like turning it off with
Ctrl Alt Delete, it is that bad, not sure whats wrong

update
the screen i see is the part with the big blue screen and TM in middle and it says in bottom right corner
PLEASE WAIT....

i do for ages

I havn't this problem. Can you send a screenshot from the start-screen?

Have you installed lot of Mod ZIP's under the \Documents\ManiaPlanet\Skins folder?
If yes, does it take also much longer to create a new map with a Mod using the editor?
If no, there must be a different problem...

So here is what I have,

Documents/ManiaPlanet : 1.2gb
Documents/Skins 60mb
DOcuments/Packs 900mb

I don't have a lot of skins, and I don't have a lot of space so I tend to keep my cache size under check. It is at nearly 4gb not more. and all this is in an ssd, on which windows boots in 15 seconds.

The issue seams to come from Cache & skins

No it does not, all maps i make as no problem making them, even when i go back and pick another mod or a different mood..

Hi Hylis!

I am still stunned about the last quick fix about custom objects ...
you and your team did a great job of this bug on a FRIDAY .. everybody wants to go home ... i know that .. and it worked perfectly .....

Ok im not only here to soft-soap you

I worked on my title pack and "LOST" my file hoster ... well too much downloads of my title pack ...
it was a "FREE" file hoster with "UNLIMITED" traffic .. but after 1 GB they closed down the links

So i started to try to "update" my old tracks .. and it was a pain ...

The .loc files are very usefull but if you want to update an old track, they are a pain in the ... sorry

E.g. if the name of the mod or the music is the same, nothing is updated in editor even if you recalculate shadows and save map again ...

So my whishes for the next release: (HE*S GETTING TO THE POINT ... ELO)

1.) If you want to change mod, click on a button and enter URL
2.) If you want to change music, click on a button and enter URL

These two things will already help ALOT for keeping tracks up to date ...

And two other things i came aware of:

1.) so my file hoster didn't host the mod and music any more, i put it into the title pack ... works perfectly in SOLO mode but on server you got sometime the mod but never the music ...

2.) i already mentioned that in an old post: if you CHANGE the camera before FINISH in mediatracker ... you don't see your time and track starts immediatly .. in SOLO and on server ... best to be seen in my Title Pack "Maximum 30 Seconds", Green Tracks, "Tribute to TMX"

Im there since 2003 "Original" and i will die with TM ... its a perfect piece of software and a perfect team of developers ... never seen such a bug free beta ... ROFL .. just kidding ...

THANK YOU
