FS#7798 - Client startup takes a minute or even more
Client opens window almost immediately. It also catches the mouse pointer.
But then it takes about a minute before it displays my account details and the available servers and before I can log in. This is irritating cause at first it appears as if the game locked up the Linux desktop I am using. This is on ThinkPad T14 AMD Gen 1 with AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750U with onboard Radeon Graphics, Renoir, Vega 7 I believe and 32 GiB of RAM.
This did not happen with 0.7.30.
Before it freezes I have this console output:

After it shows account details and server list and does respond to user input again I have the following console output:

Also unfortunately fps is much lower than with previous Unreal 4 based PlaneShift client. I reported in forum about it.
I bet it is related to the check whether an update is available.
I would at least release the mouse pointer before doing the update check.
Preferably the update check would be done in a background thread.
yup, i get quite a hang, waiting for the server listing.
i am using .31b
Greetings!
I second this one too. For a two days, since 03.03.2023 evening (CET+1), I thought the game is broken for Mac Intel users.
The client showed no servers, nor the settings button was working. Log in gave me "time out" error message. If wouldn't for this topic here, I would have no idea that all I need to do is to wait a minute or so, for the client to have enough of time to fully load so that I can log in again. And yes indeed, after waiting a minute or so, the servers load in, the setting button can be used and mainly, I can long in to game again.
Thank you Damola. Thanks to your wisdom, I can play again! This needs to be fixed.
