Interface lag

In the tournament today I was getting some really nasty UI lag, like selection boxes which didn't clear, clicks which took seconds to register. Haven't had this before while the sim was running smoothly (no skipping units or anything) and these weren't massive games, just standard 1v1. Even the chat interface was lagging.

Anyone else seen anything similar? I want to try and isolate the cause before the next tourney. Losing to the interface is not fun at all

EDIT: There is now a ticket on the bug tracker you can vote for.

Actually, I have been noticing that a bit, and now that you point it out, it's relatively new.

I've been noticing my selection boxes seem to get stuck and stay open longer than they should making unit selection troublesome.

Ive been having this problem all along. Thought it was just me.

The only problem I've noticed is trying to get teleporters hooked up. It seems like everything else is responding well enough but sometimes I have to click a teleporter to link up like 5+ times before it actually links and starts letting units through. I have like +25000 energy, both teleporters are definitely finished, nothing seems to be wrong but I'm clicking the link-up and it's not registering.

Not sure if it's dropping the commands sometimes or if they're just lagging 10+ seconds behind sometimes (I just keep clicking it so it could be either).

I have not great PC and i notice that lag too, after 5 mins of playing against easy AI it already takes about second to render building/unit selection window after i select commander/factory, very annoying stuff

Its really strange. I have noticed ever since the recent builds came out. In one of my rounds I even lost my first mex and power gen to it . Was not the best time I have had on PA.

It's not as bad as it was in alpha, but it is definitely worse than it was in beta.

I had this all the way since the start of alpha, but it became worse recently. I am starting to wonder if going for coherent UI really was a good option...

I noticed this within the last few builds, a bit before gamma

Yes. Even it keeps lagging forever it was a good idea. The mod-ability is beyond my wildest dreams.
In in reality lagging will go away with better machines, better mod-ability cannot be achieved without initial support.

Moddability could have been achieved otherwise aswell - probably requiring a lot more work.
But I am not quite sure if this problem is even really fixable, considering that coherent is third party software and nothing has been done about that since the start of alpha.

Task on bugtracker: PA#3205

Uber didn't update Coherent since September so possible all crashes/freezes might be fixed after they move to newer version.

PS: Current used version is 1.5.2 while latest is 1.8.1.

It was far worse in alpha for me. Like FAR worse. It's gotten A LOT better with all the performance updates they made. So I'd say it is a pure performance issue. Just throw a better machine at it and it will be gone. Or have Uber update coherent, it might help as well.

EDIT:
oh btw reading the coherent build notes:
1.8.0: "Fixed View names appearing in the Debugger."
Err, isn't that a very annoying issue with the new panels? A coherent update really might be pretty damn cool

EDIT 2:
Yeah lots of cool stuff in the coherent updates.

I seen many UI technologies, but non of them was anywhere near modable as those based on Chromium. E.g flash-based Scaleform it's just joke compared to something we have and any other UI solution is so bad...

Unfortunately developers time is always limited and performance can't be main priority within development process. So it's understandable why Coherent is old and why they didn't fixed few UI issues from start.

Yes almost had two game ruined because of this? Its way worse since last patch? Whats up?
