Custom client by Latikai, building on Ender's client

[loftar]

a long-standing gripe I have with it myself, and I haven't found the cause yet.

I can recommend using VisualVM's heap-dump function to check what objects are consuming the heap and what points to them.

I love the Latakai client, don't get me wrong. But everything Darwoth reports happens to me too - porting to boston several times in short order, going in and out of a mine, or switching characters on the same account more than twice - and the client freezes. Oppening two clients at once is a nightmare. I have none of these issues when running Enders. And as for the vanilla client - I cannot use it because I followed Colesie's advice and altered the command line to show shadows. Now it overloads my graphics card so bad nothing will move in real time.

I would love to get the Latakai client to run reliably. But I still get a refused access message every two or three times I access it. That combined with the crashes makes it frustrating.

If you managed to update Enders today then you truly are a God and deserve all the golden eggs I can find.

I'll settle for you getting my name right

Thanks for the hint, I think I managed to figure it out. I have no clue why the other clients don't suffer from this though. For those who know what I'm talking about (right now, I suppose that's just loftar), there were leftover pointers to the GameUI in the CharWnd obs. Same for the console PrintWriter and the MenuGrid reference in UI.

Testing tonight for any undue crashes and then this will get updated

i'm on a 30 mb cable connection. it has to be client related as i do not have the same issues with enders or the default client and the client is the only changed variable.

I can confirm this issue.
Switching characters or teleporting on the Latikai client will cause swift lag issues for me as well.

I definitely don't have this on enders. It's a pitty because the features on this one are nice.

True as that may be, it doesn't sound as if that should retain more than a few kB of heap. :)

It wouldn't accumulate, either, since each new GameUI would replace the old one in the console printwriter.

hmm. as far as I could see, the gameui kept the mcache from unloading. Anyway, might have to do with me manually emptying the mcache on character switch Kind of forgot about that line of code.

Incidentally, that should also get rid of those terrain glitches with huge depth jumps.

As long as you're just switching characters, the same UI/Session/Glob/[MO]Cache are reused anyway, so that shouldn't change anything.

Nah, that's because the server sometimes fails to properly re-randomize the coordinates such that the old and new map viewport coordinates overlap; it shouldn't have anything with character switching to do.

well, I seem to have done *something* right

ah right that was only after a port.
