@Cholmondely,

could you edit your post to contain a link to the post you quoted? If I tried to fix the OXP from the bone you threw here I would fail already on understanding the problem.

Dybal - thanks for sorting out the issues with Solar Flux!


Did you also look into the garbage generation with this one? Arquebus found that he was getting a stutter and eventually tracked it down here:

I found the problem!

You'll never guess.

You'll never, ever guess. It's such a weird thing to be causing the problem.

UsefulMFDs.

I suspect that the General Info MFD is constantly polling for updates, but I can't be sure, as there is nothing in the log reflecting its behavior.

Перевёл дополнение, поставил. Не работает. Глянул в логи, сыпятся ошибки. Подумал перевод кривой, взял оригинал. Ошибки те же.

This is one of those OXP's I'm reluctant to dive into. I've had a look - I think the biggest issue noted previously was how it caused stutters during gameplay. I tracked this down to the way it calculates the date for display. It's just too heavy a piece of code to run every second.

I'm not sure about the issues you were seeing, though. I can't remember seeing those errors on my machine. I'll have a look, but I'm not promising anything on this one.
