Improve deck tracker in-game performance

[extesy]

Try to profile and take a look how it can be made faster. Ideas:

• Switch to Unity event loop. This would fix all random intermittent game bugs.
• Don't use network within logger's Update() function.
• Don't stream event messages at all unless in a debug mode.
• Cache background textures when drawing overlay.
• Investigate if caching localization data makes sense.
• Lower priority of spawned threads.

Should be a little better in 1.0.60.

[extesy]

@VitaliyKulikov please check if the performance is better in 1.0.62.

[VitaliyKulikov]

@extesy same. maybe, freezes are slower. before, sometimes some freezes was for 3-5 secs. now, 1-2 .. but it's initial observation for patch 1.0.62

[extesy]

I will keep investigating, but your report is the only one so far and in a few streams I watched I don't see it, for example https://www.twitch.tv/techandjunk

[VitaliyKulikov]

he also have freeses. it's just less noticeable now. in any case, now is better then 1.0.61

[extesy]

@VitaliyKulikov Try 1.0.65, it should be twice faster at drawing overlay according to my metrics.

[VitaliyKulikov]

@extesy it's better) good job. now, micro-freezes not appears rapidly. but, time-by-time - once/twice in 5 mins (3-4 per game) it happens. it don't have common nature, can be just during some animation or even without any action by user.

[extesy]

And there are no such micro-freezes without the tracker running? Like not even a single one?

[VitaliyKulikov]

with tracker even on mega-low video-graphic quality micro-freezes happens.
without tracker game runs smoothly ((.

Thnx for improvements! After last update 0.67 i have nearly always 60 fps ingame, while before it was dropping to ~35 during tracker activity.

I use this tool in conjunction with TES Legends, and while it's very useful, whilst in a pvp-game I will get random screen-freezing for a few seconds. This happens quite often (about once every 4-5 turns).
This occurs almost always when a rune is being broken. I do have a fairly low spec system (2.5 GHtz, terrible graphics card, 12G RAM). Are there certain scripts I can disable to improve performance, without affecting functionality too much (I don't use the opponent's played cards tracker for example).

The deck tracker doesn't seem to work at all with the latest TESL Morrowind expansion.
Starting the game with the deck tracker running displays the message "You have been disconnected due to an error" then closes the game down. The same happens if you start the deck tracker after the game is already running.

Will the deck tracker work with the new game client ?
