Draft Slowdown

[slyphidine]

Allow me to preface by saying that Forge is the best Magic program since the original Microprose game. You guys do incredible work, and I hope you recognize how many huge fans you have.

I've found that when I run the draft portion of Forge, it gets progressively slower as I go through the draft. At midway through pack 2 (pick 9 or so), it freezes completely and I have to force quit. I can't find anyone else reporting on such an issue.

I'm running it on Windows XP SP3 running Java 6 Update 23. Any ideas as to what might be causing this?

Download the 02-19-2011 beta from our forum if you are using an earlier version.

Follow the instructions located in the "readme.txt" file.

People using the Windows OS should double click the "forge.exe" file to run Forge rather than double clicking on the JAR file.

I'm suspecting the issue is related to the set pictures stuff, since a draft will potentially need to track and display 360 cards at once. The heap space may be related.

Upon downloading the latest version (2/19), the problem was resolved. Thanks for your help.

When I go to open the draft deck after I finish, it tells me no decks are found. I believe this is a known problem (or at least one that has come up from time to time), but I don't know the solution.

Thanks!

I'm not sure if this answers your question but after you choose all of your draft cards, save your draft. Now open the deck editor and select "New Deck - Draft" which lets you create your deck from your draft file that you saved. Save your deck and then you should be able to open it in the "New Game" screen.

I'm having the same 'slowdown' problem:

I've got the /jar running with 1GB of physical ( I have 6 ) and it's still really slow.

I'm using 19/2

Any suggestions?

Edit: I just finished a draft, tried to open deck editor to play with it and I got this:
