on Windows, pressing "e" sometimes causes lag and dc
<andy_5995> what of the issue that Issh reported? Pressing E during network play often gives a lag warning, and sometimes he dc's. On Windows
<Issh> andy I wonder if it something to do with an issue regarding the path / folder I am saving too
<Issh> although that would be strange considering the specs of the machine I use
<andy_5995> doubtful, imo
<andy_5995> if the screenshot is being saved, then your path shouldn't be an issue.
<Issh> it happens the first time only
<Issh> then after that I can screenshot fine but I avoid it as much as possible
<andy_5995> That's one of those issues that if it does happen to other users, they might not notice it, and most average users are not using "E".
<Issh> because in a heated battle it will freeze, then it tries to recover all the missing frames and causes a lag spike every time
<andy_5995> ah.. that is helpful
<Issh> print screen works fine
<andy_5995> So only the first time it lags, but if you stay connected, it works fine after that softcoder_ titi_linux
He's using Windows 10.
As far as I know he had thousands of screenshots in this save directory. After cleaning up this ( he renamed the directory ) everything worked. Now I think this is not a real bug. More something like "it takes ages to list thousands of files in a subdirectory on windows"
