After loading the script.

Hi guys, I recently started playing and realized chapter 2 has some massive lag when you get choices.
Haven't tried chapter 3 yet so no Idea how it is there.
Not sure if this has been adressed earlier so I thought I'll try to figure something out.
After checking the autosaves it seems like the game autosaves for every choice.
One method to "fix" this is to do the following:

1: Open up config.py with your preferred editor (notepad++ is nice)
Location: Maxslife-0.22-pc\renpy

2: Search for the value: autosave_on_choice

3: Change from True to False.
This makes it so that the game won't autosave when there's a choice.

4: If you still want some autosave just in case then search for the value: autosave_frequency

5: Change it to whatever amount of interactions you want before it autosaves. (in my case I went for 500)
Not a developer but from my understanding every 500 "enter" clicks should trigger an autosave. Haven't kept count, but the game did autosave from time to time.

This reduced the amount of lag a lot and there's no longer 5 seconds of delay for every choice. Made me a happy camper atleast.
