Performance much worse in Big Box Beta 19

[Smannesman]

The platform wheel is invisible until I move the 'cursor'. There is a lot of jumping around of the selection 'cursor' when trying to select something, most noticeably in the configuration menus. It will not only skip around, but it also sounds like it will occasionally forget the volume setting when doing so. Big Box has also crashed twice, complete CTD so there is no error to share and AFAIK the application does no logging so I can't share those. I will include some Event Viewer info at the bottom of this post.

I've recorded a bit of the selection issue and put it on Youtube for you:

In the video I push down every second in a rhythm while in the menu.

And I've included a couple of .wer files which might include some information.

Hi Smannesman, thanks for this report. I'm hoping this stuff is fixed in beta 20 which I just put out. Let me know either way if you would. :)

Thanks much.

In beta 21 the performance issues are still there. The selection keeps jumping around. It seems to be only when using a controller, but that's how I use Big Box. Oh the platform wheel is visible from the beginning though.

Hi Smannesman, hopefully beta 22 fixes it. Any luck?

[Smannesman]

Jason, I just tried beta 22 for a few minutes and the issue seems to be gone. I'll try some more later, but it's definitely looking good.

Thanks Smannesman, good to hear.
