X3AP:buying shares freezing and not updating in summary

[Browser_ice]

For the past weeks, I have noticed the following 2 problems:

1) Every time I am buying shares on the market, it freezes the game for at least 3 seconds. It only happens at the pannel where it asks me if I really want to buy those shares (Yes or No) but once I select Yes and press Enter. It goes back to the pannel where it shows how many shares I am buing, freezes for 3 sec min and then updates. If I remember, it happens also in the same pannel when I want sell actions.

2) when I am in the summary pannel where it only displays the shares I have invested into it. If I buy or sell someting, it may take 30 sec min before it actually updates the share that was affected by my action. The grand total usually gets updated before those individual shares. The only way I have found to get a real updae (hiting the fast foward time thingy does not help), is it close that pannel and get back to it right away.

For problem 1). I think we have seen this issue reported by some user before. I will look for it.

Ah yes, here. It seems the author of the X3AP Stock Exchange scripts cannot himself reproduce the issue, and certainly not everybody sees the same problems. Perhaps it is restricted to certain systems and set-ups. I am not sure about that though.

2) That's intended. Constantly updating all shares would simply cost too much processing power (i.e. would influence the performance negatively).

I did a test and it may give a clue.

I used a cheat code to get 1 billion dollars with the same mission, same profile, same everything.

Now when I try to reproduce the problem, its is worst. Now instead of 3 sec min, it close to 20 sec min.

So it looks iike it may be related to the amount of money. There could be other factos too realted to equipement but the fact that the freezing period is longer just because I have more money kind of points in one direction.\

mIn My current game, I have bout 30 million in money. I often resort to buying/selling shares for quick money as I found a few products that allows me to do it (plus I control some of them with my own stations).
