Topic: Pianoteq5 slow startup
Hi,
Pianoteq5 starts considerably slower than version 4. Can that be fixed somehow?
Cheers

Re: Pianoteq5 slow startup
Erm. How long does the startup take on your machine? On my machine it's a few seconds for the standalone application, maybe 3-4, though I never measured it (and I'm not at home right now). Maybe Pianoteq 4 was a little bit quicker, but I did not notice much of a difference. I'm also not sure this can be 'fixed', since the application probably has to initialise a few things before it is ready.

Versions 4 and 5 start up in exactly the same amount of time on my Windows 8 machine.

I guess it's somehow phoning home for copy protection ?

Re: Pianoteq5 slow startup
In my case the pianoteq engine (the sound) starts immediately, bit it takes a few more seconds before the UI shows up on the screen.

Nope, Pianoteq doesn't do that.
Hard work and guts!

Re: Pianoteq5 slow startup
Ok just checked. P4 needs 3 seconds, P5 needs 6 seconds for a cold start.

Pianoteq 5 starts in 2.85 sec here (handstopped).

Re: Pianoteq5 slow startup
It's 6 seconds here (i5-3337U, Win8.1) as well for the standalone version, and about 3-4 seconds for the VST, leading to a total startup time of about 10 seconds for Sonar. The PTQ4 trial takes a little more than 4 seconds in the standalone version.
But... seriously? Are we talking about a difference of 2-3 seconds in initialisation time (which can also probably be influenced by a lot of different factors) as a serious 'bug'? Wow.

Re: Pianoteq5 slow startup
Who said it's a serious bug?
Just asking myself why this is so. There has to be a reason. And maybe it is just something that happened by accident and can be fixed.
I have a Phenom II X6 @ 3.2GHz
Edit: actually they both need 6 seconds for a cold start. I was measuring P4 after P5 since I thought they use completely independent program code. But if I start P5 first, then the start of P4 is faster.
Sorry for the "false alarm"
