slight slow down whenever text appears

Game or games this happens in

ULUS10512 - Persona 3 Portable

What area of the game

ok so, this is more of me wanting someone to interpret something for me. I've been attempting to start up P3P and I experienced some lag whenever text appears which is a problem since it's a text based game. I assume the problem is it's spending lots of time iterating over files it should not care about. I can see that from #14824 but I don't exactly get what he's saying and would like for someone to at least tell me what I can do with this information and how to take care of this problem? know that I do have a 6x mod enabled but the lag only comes when text appears and I would like to keep the rest of the mod enabled other than the text

Thanks to anyone who helps

Checklist

• Test in the latest git build in case it's already fixed.
• Search for other reports of the same issue.
• Try resetting settings or older versions and include if the issue is related.
• Try changing graphics settings to determine if one causes the slowdown.
• Include logs or screenshots of issue.

This probably has nothing to do with #14824. Instead, it's probably Android scoped storage being slow when using the texture pack.

Instead, if you use a zip based texture pack (instead of extracted), it should perform faster. This is a new feature and a bug was just fixed in it within the latest git build. But it fixes performance issues on Android like yours.

can't find a zip version for any kind of texture upgrade and I've attempted to screw around with the ini files to see if i could edit them to work with my own zip file, but as it seems it won't work, so I'll be just trying to minimize the lag. I mainly thought #14824 was related as it was a response to #13847 which was also talking about scoped storage.

There's a lot of improvement in recently build related to replace texures @trextaco9 how about the performance of this now?
