Output Log dramatically drops performance

Hey guys

So I’ve been doing a lot of work with Output Log (Basically, I have it open at all times when I work, I prefer it to on screen print messages)

In 4.7.6 output log seems to still have dramatic performance issues, when opening log from a running instance it even crashes engine at times

This issue was documented before on this thread and it was said to be fixed around Dec of 2014 on version 4.6 and 4.7

As far as I can tell, issue remains, anyone else experiencing this?

gradual performance degradation should have been addressed for 4.7, and hang when you copy text with a Wacom tablet connected should have been addressed for 4.8.

Are you still seeing gradual performance degradation, or is output log just lowering FPS to a constant(ish) value when it’s open?

I don’t have a wacom tablet attached and I do see gradual degradation over time. Also, if output log is closed and I run a session for , say, 10 minutes, when I open log, it seems like in an attempt to fill up entire log framerate drops sometimes reaching 2 or 3 fps or crashing engine completely

Plenty of Ram, GPU, Process power in my machine so I don’t understand why Perf Log does that :frowning:

Hi polymatheddy,

Sorry for delay in response. Are you still experiencing this issue? Have you tried 4.8 preview yet, and does it occur there as well?

Hi polymatheddy,

I’m resolving this post for tracking purposes, but please feel free to comment here if you’re still experiencing this issue and we’ll reopen. Thanks!
