Risk of Waiting
Load the game faster, thanks to some good old-fashioned optimization and caching!
Risk of Waiting makes no meaningful changes to startup functionality, and is intended to be compatible with every mod.
Cache Files
This mod stores cache files in your Risk of Rain 2 folder, under /RiskofWaitingReduxData/. They are tiny files (>1 KB per mod) and always safe to delete.
Overview
A brief overview of the improvements included in this mod, for fellow mod devs and other interested persons. See the source code at https://github.com/Priscillalala/RiskOfWaitingRedux (MIT licensed)
| Process | Problem | Improvement |
|---|---|---|
| SearchableAttribute | Uses a lot of reflection to scan types and members for attributes | Cache the search |
| ConVars | Uses a lot of reflection to scan fields and methods for ConVars | Cache the search |
Additionally, the following improvements were originally built for this mod but now live in RoR2BepInExPack! See the pull requests at:
- https://github.com/risk-of-thunder/RoR2BepInExPack/pull/48 (AchievementManager)
- https://github.com/risk-of-thunder/RoR2BepInExPack/pull/60 (EntityStateCatalog, PostProcessManager, and VolumeManager)
| Process | Problem | Improvement |
|---|---|---|
| AchievementManager | Waits for the next frame after processing EACH achievement type | Yield each time 100 achievements are registered |
| AchievementManager | Scans assemblies which will never contain achievements | Only scan assemblies that reference RoR2; exclude MMHOOK assemblies and RoR2BepInExPack |
| EntityStateCatalog | Waits for the next frame too often while applying entity state configurations | Yield less often |
| PostProcessManager | Scans EVERY assembly in the domain for post process effects | Only scan assemblies that reference Unity.Postprocessing.Runtime; exclude MMHOOK assemblies |
| VolumeManager* | Scans EVERY assembly in the domain for VolumeComponent types | Only scan assemblies that reference Unity.RenderPipelines.Core.Runtime; exclude MMHOOK assemblies |
*The VolumeManager does not init during startup; it is lazily initialized by the Winnowing of Mortality scene (soul1)
