[1.32][Bug] Crippling lag in station info menu

Post by elektrohawk »

(I have a few similar bugs, filing each of them separately on the assumption that each thread should list a single bug)

Game version 1.32, English
Game start 1.0
Modifications made to client/extensions run: None
Cheats or hacks used: None

I have a very large station (161 parts, production oriented), and when the Station information menu is opened in map-view, absolutely crippling lag occurs. This lag does not occur at any other point, except when this information menu is opened. The lag does not occur when opening up the information window for any other assets (Except my warehouse station which is not as bad).

When opening the info tab on my station, the game drops to about 1/10 FPS. That is to say, approximately 1 frame every 10 seconds.

Viewing the station up close does not cause noticeable lag, nor does viewing it in map view, or production/planning view, or logical overview, or docking at it, or walking on the station. It is only the info menu that creates this problem for me.

I have the same bug! It reproduces at 1.30, 1.31 too.
I guess it reproduces from version 1.0.

And one more point, after some time opening the information window, UI is crashing and closing map window. :evil:

Thanks for the report. Could you please provide a save where this happens and specify which station is affected? Would cut down a lot on the time needed to track down the issue.

I have the exact same issue. Built around 40-50 production modules as well as several storage and habitat modules on my PHQ, and now the Information tab completely locks up the game.

Just FYI, if you want to withdraw/deposit funds into your station in the meantime, go into the player information -> funds screen and you can do it from there without having to access the information tab that locks up your game.

The same thing happens to me every time I have the information menu open the game freezes every 5 seconds.

Here's a link to my saved game:

started 1.0, current ver 1.32, no mods.

I had similar problems which I reported here in the forums.

Some guys pointed me towards disabling the 'show orders' filter in the filter options (top right, 4th tab under 'Ship Properties').

This completely solved my crashes (ever 5 minutes!) and sped up the map and information screen like crazy.

Maybe give that a try.

I tried that already and I even removed all the filters but it's the same thing. I don't get crashes but the game freezes every 5 seconds whenever that information menu is opened.
