yes, the lag is definitely connected to the Colonist Bar Mod. I thought the features were part of the "patch mod", becaase in my last Game (same download of Rimworld Hardcore SK) the features of the colonist bar mod did not show up. looks like i didnt install the mods correctly at that time, i disabled the col bar mod and the lag is gone now.

Thx for the help!

But isnt that mod also where ALL the patches to the current SK mod Version are in? After all it is called "Darkness +SK Patch"

Hi there!

first of all thank you for the great work with the Hardcore Mod Pack, I really enjoy playing Rimworld with it.

Now to my Issue:

I´ve also started to encounter the "Lag Spike even whilst Paused" Issue. This started to appear after I enabled the "Darkness&Patch" Mod which was disabled by default. In my games before  I enabled the patch I did not encounter the lag spikes. (same Hardcore SK download)

take a look at this thread: https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=18146.0
conclusion: Your problems sound like mine, you need to wait and be patient and the game will actually load (can take up to 15 minutes and if you enter the mods menu it takes another 5-10 minutes to open the mods menu and another 10-15 min to exit the mod menu and get back into the main menu)

in the ingame description of the items it says it can be used to divide rooms, haven`t test built one yet though

I have not identified the individual mod, but part of the hardcore SK mod pack introduces a "cell door" which can be used by colonists and prisoners...

its part of the hardcore sk mod pack for a12 or stand alone here: https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=3612.0 (also A12)

nice play on the topic name =)

could you be a little more specific about the "everything just breaks" part? Can you start the game still? Can you access the mods options in the main menu? Does the loading/creating of a colony end up in the crash log and weird colors showing on the screen?

well ive got a lot more software running in the background (several logitech programms for mic, keyboard and mouse, the oculus driver...) but thats about the only difference other than hardware i could think off

unfortunately no difference without AVG on

will do, has to wait till i`m home from work though (aprox. 3-4 hours from now)

Im running anti virus software on both systems, AVG Freeware on the gaming PC and Avira Professional Security on the Work Laptop ( the latter is mandatory by company)

thats the funny thing, on my ssd equipped desktop the game takes forever to load, on the "normal" laptop harddrive it loads fast...

Here now the specs of the Work Laptop (Games loads fast):

Win 7 Prof SP 1 (64 bit)
Intel Core i5-3337U CPU @ 1.8 GHz
4 GB RAM
Intel HD Graphics 4000 (onboard gfx card)
Seagate Laptop Thin ST500LT012 500GB 5400 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 2.5" Internal Notebook Hard Drive Bare Drive

Game is installed under c:\rimworld914Win\
