Severe Scroll Menu Lag?


tkdmaster

Recommended Posts

Alright, so one of my players is having a bad problem with scroll menus. More often than not, none of the scroll emnus will appear for him when he tries to access them (traders, refuelding, bloodbag, etc.) and will magically appear several minutes later and wont go away from that point on.

 

I've had him reinstall the entire game and mod after doing a complete wipe, had him go into the cfg's and do all the optimizations he can, yet seems to make no difference at all.

 

Anyone got some insight as to what he can do to try and fix this?

Do you have a lot of modifications to the fn_selfactions.sqf or fn_damageactions.sqf scripts ?.

 

These scripts are run continually and update what options are available on the scroll menu depending on what the player is looking at.  If the sqf files are long and complex then they will take some time to process.  If the player is looking around then the _cursortarget (what the player is looking at) in the script will be constantly changing.  It is much better to make these as lean as possibly for faster menu items.  An error in either of these files will also cause issues with processing.  The target being registered is also dependant on what part you are looking at.  The fuel truck for instance only seems to register if you are looking at the part behind the cab, not at the cab it'self.

The server has a handful of edits in there, but nothing mind-bogglingly long as far as I know, and this person is the only one who is having these issues. If it was what you mentioned, wouldn't the problem persist for everyone and not just him?

Hi just bumping this as I am experiencing similar issues, nobody else is experiencing the same issues as I am on the server.
Just to be clear it's basically all mouse scroll menu's that are lagging, later the option sometimes appears.. Sometimes it takes a few seconds, sometimes it just doesn't show a menu at all even stood still in front of trader for 5 minutes.
Most of the time it works fine but it keeps happening at the worst of times!

ETA RPT
When I've checked in the past its been just surface noise spam

Other symptoms are white text lagging in bottom right and lower fps than usual

Those are just antihack script check messages, they mean no harm to anyone (except for hackers) but his problems are hiding elsewhere

First one is probably just a sideeffect of something else not working so ignore it for now but do fix the second one

 

Edit: Missed few more lol
