Isolated a Couple of Pop-up Issues (possible bug)

Postby oracle3001 » Fri Mar 02, 2012 8:29 pm

I have posted several times about problems I have been having with pop-ups, but I think I have isolated a couple of problems.

1) Firstly, and most importantly (and again I don't know if this is intended behaviour) I think that stats for pop-ups that aren't assigned either for the main popup or for a stat are still being queried. I have stated I have been really struggling with pop-up fills, but as part of my tests I have been building loads of different pop-ups, leaving them in the list, but only assigning 3-4 at a time to actually show. This evening, I exported all my various test pop-ups, deleting all unassigned ones and only left the ones in the popup group list that were actually set to show in the popup group list and now pop-ups are filling instantly.

2) Furthermore, I have id'ed a particular pop-up that seems to really strain my system. This one does cause a noticeable slow-down in overall pop-up load times. If you are interested I could send it to you, maybe a particular stat or stat filtered by position etc is causing a problem, as the overall number of stats in the pop-up is no greater than in many of my others. Adding to my suspicions of a possible bug I mentioned in 1), I left this problematic pop-up unassigned, but in the pop-up group list, the pop-up filling performance was horrible (despite being unassigned to either the main group of pop-ups or a particular stat). I deleted it from the list and filling occurred instantly.

Yes, as I just replied in your other thread too, please do attach your example profiles to a Support Ticket - if you can give us specific examples of the different behaviour that should really help.
Thanks.

I have uploaded two versions, the full one and a simplified one.

The simplified one loads instantly and causes no noticeable slow down in the overall performance of the HUD.

However, what I have found is that the various postflop stats used in the full version of the pop-up appear to cause real strain and significantly slow down the whole process of filling pop-up HUD panels.

If I take the simplified version and just add some of the flop based ones (show on the full version) it immediately causes a big slow down. That is only adding an extra 4-5 stats. I can add a whole extra panel of 20-30 stats and it doesn't cause this kind of slow down, so I would suggest looking at if there is something specific about the postflop ones I have used in this panel (they are position and relative position specific).

What about Q1?

As far as I'm aware stats for popups are only queried when the popup is activated, but that may apply to all popups in the profile. That wasn't how I expected it to work, but I will check this out when I look at the other issues you raised.
