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)}
