Cataclysm-dda: game built at my computer is very slow comparing to released game downloaded from web

[martinrhan]

Describe the bug

I have everything prepared, including vcpkg installed and SDL2 library and whatever, but once I try to run the game by pressing the play button in VS, i took a long time. That building time is till acceptable, but in game, every operation takes a long time to react, and loading a save also take an extremly long time, unlike when I am playing the version downloaded from release website. This is happending despite I run with debug or not.

Steps To Reproduce

I don't know are other people facing this problem or not, but for me, it is just build and run the game.

Expected behavior

The game should be as fluent as normal.

Versions and configuration

My project is the updated to the newest master branch, with a little bit of code edited but I don't think this is the reason as I also tryed to build and run a game that i never edit at all.

I did not notice any differences last time I compiled it. Try closing VS and then running the compiled game, does that make a difference?

You need to build Release instead of Debug configuration.

[Barhandar]

As Zhilkin said, downloading source without changes will build it with debug flags enabled which has a lot more debug code (obviously) and hence runs slower.

OK, this time I build release, then it worked fine.
