Can't toggle weapon groups when laggy (Linux)

[Addle]

I'm on Linux with patch 0.10.2.7448. Working quite well, in general, since the latest patch. There's one super annoying issue happening though.

 

When there's a large battle with a lot of effects and such happening, or generally a lot on the screen, I can't toggle weapon groups any more. If I hit the key (1, 2, etc) for a group, it toggles, then toggles immediately back to the original state. Sometimes I can get it to work if I rotate my ship so that there's a lot less on the screen. Granted, I only have a GTX560 and I'm upgrading it soon, so the FPS should improve and probably solve this, but there's likely an issue in the way that's handled, I think.

 

Easily replicated for me. Just get into some large and somewhat laggy battle,  and try to toggle a weapon group. However, you might need to get your system to lag sufficiently to replicate it. And it may or may not be specific to the Linux build.

 

I did look in the client and server logs and there's absolutely nothing out of the ordinary there. Let me know if I can do anything to help, of course.

 

Lastly, love the game. It's amazing. Two of my friends have now purchased it (both on Linux), and I assume a number more will do so at some point. And thank you for the Linux release! Can't wait to see where this is going! <3

Not specific to Linux, occurs on Win 7 as well. Faction battle in full swing tends to do it. For good measure, have a large alien fleet join in as well to ensure it occurs, at least for me.

This issue has happened a few times out of combat as well, it's not strictly tied to combat either. However it seems to be happening more often in combat.

With a large battle happening in system I was able to reliably make the toggle work again by turning the camera away from the fighting. as soon as the other ships were off screen it worked.

I can confirm this is happening for me as well - on Win7. And not with any level of activity in the sector. Even completely empty sectors. I have to hold the weapon group button down.

Same here, on win7, even in empty sectors it can happen, press 1 to 4 and the group will switch on the group will flash on then off again instantly, if a group key is held down it will turn on, however all other groups will turn off.

As I like to have auto targeting guns on a separate group this get very annoying.
