| Summary | 0011666: Game periodically freezes for a few seconds | ||||
| Description | I'm seeing periodic slow-down in my current game. Everything will run fine for a few minutes, the there'll be a few minutes of: run for a few seconds, freeze for a few seconds, repeat. It does this regardless of anything that may be going on (battles, or no battles). This behavior persists through game reloads, and through closing and re-opening the application. Attached is a save game in the middle of such a period of freezes. | ||||

The slowdown is that every few seconds the game is pausing so it can go file a bug report that you have nearly 10,000 drones on one planet. 16 HWs of full caps of neinzul enclave starships is ludicrous ;) More seriously, that many ships being created or dying at once is a tremendous amount of processing. It can be optimized somewhat but not nearly enough for that much creation/destruction to be feasible. Anyway, I can look at making it better about not spawning drones that will then have nothing to do, and possibly condensing the power of the drones somewhat in favor of fewer drones/second on average. |

I believe 6.033 resolved the main problem here, which was that your enclaves would keep something like 9000 drones in the air at all times even though there were effectively no enemies on the planet. They still may lead to interesting performance issues if engaged in actual battle, but to some extent that's on the label with 16 HW. |
