New Problem: Opening SG window drops framerate

Never had this issue before until lastnight. Now, when I open my SG window (every other window is perfectly fine), my framerate drops to slideshow like lag. Close it, and its fine again. How odd is that? I've tried resetting all windows, but that doesn't fix it. Tried rebooting my Mac, nothing. Other than that, performance is fine.

Any suggestions?

Oh, yes, I did report it.

Opening any window that accesses information outside your own player account (like the SG window) may cause lots of lag on a busy server. It's always been that way.

No, no. I understand a sec or two, maybe even 5 secs of delay, as it processes data, whatnot. This isn't what I am talking about. When I open it up, and leave it up, the entire game becomes a slideshow, and remains that way until I close the SG window. Whether I have the window up for 2 minutes or 25 minutes. Once closed, back to normal. Very odd.

It reloads the data periodically. If you have a very slow connection it's going to impact the game performance a lot. Meanwhile, try /bugging it, as it might be the refresh rate was turned too high to be feasible.

I have the same problem with the SG window and it just started happening to me too. Dunno what's up with it.

I've verified this problem...on the Windows client. So it's not unique to Mac.

Keep using /bug and they'll catch it eventually.
