Freezing, primarily in the script window (Mapper issue)

Post by Sanaki »

So as of a couple weeks ago I've had some horrible freezing issues in Mudlet, mostly in the script window. Any time I'd click an alias/trigger/script/etc, it'd take between 5-100 seconds to load up, depending on the size of the loading script, during which time the entirety of Mudlet was useless. Changing focus on the script window was usually a 5-10 second process. Typing at any decent pace also would cause the main window to freeze up until I stopped typing for a few seconds. Lots of irritation.

Eventually I backed up and just started deleting things from my profile until it stopped, until I stumbled upon the cause: the mudlet mapper. Omitting the createMapper line removed all my problems. And by relation, wiping every other script in my profile (including aliases/triggers/etc) did nothing to alleviate the issue.

Just to be safe, I checked a blank profile, not a thing in it, and opened the map. Same issue started up.

If anyone would like copies of files I have or anything of that nature to see if something went awry, let me know. Right now, I can't play with the map open, and I'd love a fix.

EDIT: anyone wondering about system specs, Windows 7 64-bit, here's the exact laptop I'm running on.

Edit 2: Starting to get reports from a couple others of having this same issue and just not bothering to report it. Also, haven't tried a fresh install to see if it's present on that. I don't have time to do so at the moment, but I'll check later on.

Does it happen with any kind of map, official or crowdmap?

It happens with or without any actual map loaded, in and out of Achaea, even on a blank profile not connected to any server.

I'm not sure what the cause of that would be yet then.

Let me know if you think of anything. As of right now, only two others have mentioned having the issue and I can't remember who one was. The other I've confirmed was also on Win7 64-bit Home Premium, in case it's somehow related, but I'm rather certain it doesn't affect everyone on that specific version. I'll post here again if I come up with some new brilliant theory, but for now I'm just clueless.

I definitely have encountered a similar experience. Immediately upon installing a generic mapper script that someone had posted here on the forums, I started having full crashes every 20-30 minutes. Sometimes more frequently than that. It persisted through three different versions of Mudlet, and through me deleting the script itself. I ultimately had to delete my entire Mudlet folder to get rid of it. Running Mac OS X 10.8.3.

So I was playing without my map running, the crowdmap auto-updated, userwindow map opened, and... nothing. The issue's gone. Which makes little sense to me since it wasn't tied to any specific profile.

I... I've got nothing. Hopefully it was just a passing glitch?
