IMyShipConnector.OtherConnector or .OtherConnector.CubeGrid returns null about performance-improvements HOT 9 CLOSED

Just to add, it is returning IMyShipConnector.Status = MyShipConnectorStatus.Connected.

from performance-improvements.

What was the exact problem? Crash inside the PerformanceImprovements plugin?

If crash, the could you please attach a stack trace (or even better a full log)?

Server or client?

from performance-improvements.

No crash on the server or the plugin or client. This is returning null to the PB API call for IMyShipConnector.OtherConnector or IMyShipConnector.OtherConnector.CubeGrid.

Try to disable the Fix grid merge feature in the plugin config.

What it does may be related to your issue: "Disable conveyor updates during grid merge (MyCubeGrid.MergeGridInternal)"

Does it solve your problem? If not, then please try to disable half of the remaining tests each time and narrow down which one is causing the issue.

The workaround is to keep that fix (or fixes) disabled.

We did disable that performance patch (the conveyor updates) and it did seem to resolve the issue, even after the patch was re-enabled. We've been unable to replicate it, but that it was immediately corrected upon toggling that option implies a causal link. Why it doesn't return, we don't know. We did other, unrelated to your plugin things, to dramatically improve simspeed, so it could be that the worker threads are completing in the same tick reliably enough that the problem is not occurring. Connecting two grids during low simspeed may replicate it.

What else have you configured exactly to improve performance? Maybe it gives some clue.

from performance-improvements.

Cleaned up grid clusters, hangared a lot of grids. Nothing that would be related other than to simspeed.

The problem has returned so we're trying to sync up with a player experiencing it to try and confirm which plugin setting is causing it. Personally I do not think that the conveyor during merge would be the cause because the affected Keen code only occurs when a full grid merge occurs, such as with a merge block or a copy-paste of a grid onto another grid.

Thank you for narrowing this issue down to a specific config option.

Does this issue still happen with game version 1.203.022?
