Summary0024585: Stutter problem
DescriptionIn 2.758 or 2.759, this save was working somewhat fine, with the only possible stutter when it does an autosave in the next minute (and it's only seems noticable if I accelerate the game and look for it).

In 2.671, this save will cause stutters, some of which are severe enough to cause "AI War 2 is not responding". The stutters seem to get worse over time, only getting better if you load the next autosave.

Additionally, the game takes a significant amount of time to quit.

For reference, I'm keeping 50 autosaves, and doing them once per minute (might be overparanoid, but minimizes risk of loss.)

Getting massive FPS loss after putting down a bunch of turrets on a freshly made military station next to a 800 str superterminal hack force. Have never had performance issues with these "low" ship counts in the past. Performance is at 16% while paused after loading the save.

Forgot to mention this save was from a new game on 2.671.

I have the issue too, it happens while moving fleets and just playing the game in general, once you get a bit far into the game.

I am uncertain what is causing it.

Me too, and I also received an exception:

Can confirm performance issues, my MP group jumped back to "Most Recent Stable Beta".

Also, is there a way we could re-organize the list of alphas/betas to put the stuff people want to use at the top? People had trouble finding the right ones

Stutters seems to happen most severely during large battles, large turret and ship rebuilding times, and during large unloaded fleet movements.

I also second reorganizing the list of alphas and betas or offering a particular beta patch off of the Arcen website with a working CD key or something

Starting with the easier one:

* Fixed an exception that could happen in ClearOrders() at debug stage 400.

@Metrekec. Using your provided save, I am getting 100% performance both paused and unpaused.

I am getting massive frame spikes of some sort, though, which is a very curious thing. Essentially scrolling around is incredibly rough, and then every few seconds there is a massively slow frame that causes a larger jolt.

I am playing with an i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60GH, and a GTX 1070. I'm going to do some looking into this from the angle of several of these saves, but I'm curious as to how my specs compare to yours.

Ooh! It looks like this is a disk-bound thing, in large part. There's infinite spam of this sort of thing in the Player.log, but NOT in our actual main log for some reason:

Found it -- thanks! And sorry about the inconvenience!

* Fixed a bug from the last (non-hotfix) version that was causing the Player.log to be spammed with "Mismatch on ClaimedByEntity_Internal when returning to the pool!" errors.
** This was causing massive amounts of lag in all sorts of unexpected situations, and the main predictor of just how bad the lag was, was how busy your hard drive was and how long you had been playing (this would get exponentially worse over time).
** The root cause here was me moving when a variable was nulled-out in order to make cross-threading issues less likely. However, after that point it does a validity check and complains if there is a problem. This check is important, but it was always now failing against a now-null variable.
** The validity check now uses a local copy of what is nulled out, so spurious errors aren't thrown. Additionally, if it DOES have an error, it will now go to the main log and the display, so we don't get surprise hidden problems like this.
