Bug ID: 429369 Summary: Very very slow to resolve Product: kpat Version: 19.12 Platform: Mint (Ubuntu based) OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: major Priority: NOR Component: solver Assignee: co...@kde.org Reporter: al.knep...@gmail.com CC: kde-games-b...@kde.org Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 133472 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=133472&action=edit Cpu running all cores. SUMMARY This is a fresh install of Mint 20 Cinnamon 64bit. Running an i7 guad core processor w/ turbo boost to 4GHz. Now and then the solver will run all 8 processors at 4Ghz max. Some times for as long as 30 seconds or more. STEPS TO REPRODUCE Simply just load and pick a game. Normally the more complex games, like Mod3 or Yukon have a higher rate of displaying this issue. OBSERVED RESULT Oddly I observed when playing mod3 I had a choice of 2 Jack of spades to put on a pile. Both jacks in the top line so it made no difference which I picked, they both would go on top of the 8 and both free a hole. But one failed and one did not. Also as the game progresses, the symptoms diminish. Not unexpectedly since there are less choices to test. Sometimes I can back up and then 'redo' the move and it solves faster. Normally I just assume it's having a hemorrhage and there is no solution so I 'undo' the move. In Mint 19.3 I had a lag for the solver but never more than 10 seconds. And usually it was 'cannot determine if there is a solution' or whatever the wording is. A delay usually meant it was not a good move. Now it's just taking time even to say it's still a winnable game.
