Make CK less pushy when it loads?

Post » Thu Jun 21, 2012 12:35 am

I'm slowly getting very very annoyed. Now, I can see the benefit of this, but I'd love to disable it: When the CK loads, it's like a little kid. It must have my attention. When an error pops up, it kicks the CK into focus. When it finishes loading, same thing. Now, this may be useful for some, but for me this is what happens; I'm checking my interwebs while it loads. Usually on the forum, typing something. The CK finishes after it's 10 minute load, and BAM pops into focus. I'm still typing, and before I can stop, my typing flips out the CK, and it closes. 10 minutes wasted. I gotta open it again, after which the same thing usually happens. The only safe route, is to sit here not doing anything while it loads.

Can I say like 'Dont pop up in my face at every little thing'? So it just quietly loads and finishes loading in the backround?

If someone can help me with this, that would be awesome!

Thanks,
Alexander J. Velicky

WOW, 10 minutes?! Even on my old Raptor drive it only took a minute or so, but with my SSD it’s loaded in no time at all. (Not that that does you any good, lol.) I’ve just learned to deal with it. But right now, I only get one error message about a navmesh problem or something. So it’s not bad for me.

The errors arent the issue, it's that windows puts it in focus when it's done. I get one error message, which I click Ignore on. The issue is that I then wait several minutes while it loads, and if I do ANYTHING when it finishes, it pops up, then closes out because I hit a key. That's the issue. I then have to reopen it, and sit here and watch...

I'm sure it's not 10 minutes, but it's a while. And it's closed out when it finishes loading so many times that I've had to have wasted hours now over all the times I've reopened it, lol.

All it does for me to let me know it's done is the button on the task bar turns blue. Like every other application on the task bar.

Must be a win7 thing..

Normally I get the little taskbar thing for stuff. If I click to open a webpage, then go elsewhere, it simply glows orange in the taskbar when its done. The CK, on the other hand, constantly pops into view...

I think it was an exaggeration and I think he means loading the plugin/master files. I don't think the drive read/write speed is the cause, I think it's the compression/decompression(?) of the files. This is my theory because... when you save a file from the creation kit, it's less than 1/2 the size of one saved with TESSnip, but it takes about 5 times a long.

It takes mine about 3 minutes to load a mod. The initial CK interface is up within seconds.

In that 3 minutes though I like to be doing other stuff. After that first error comes up (we all know it, the navmesh one for the master) I hit "yes to all" and then wait. If I happen to be typing, usually I end up typing part of it into one of the boxes in the cell window. Harmless, but highly annoying.

Yeah I mean loading the actual ESP/ESM files. It initially loads (opens) very quickly. The issue is once I load my data.

Lame... for me my typing just closes the CK... :(
