8 years ago Yes, these messages are heartbeats. When Fallout 4 does not receive heartbeats from the app, it will close the connection. Prior to v0.8.1 I did not write them into the log, but since people had connection problems I decided to write them into the log to determine what caused the disconnects people were experiencing.
As it turned out the reason for the disconnects where performance problems because the map markers were updated too often. I fixed that, and map markers should now only be updated when really needed. Performance is now much better, but still they need quite some performance. Currently I am busy fixing other bugs, but when that is finished I will re-visit the map markers and see if I can further improve performance. Btw, I also experienced slight performance problems when zooming in too much into the Satellite View map.
Hey all,
I noticed some problems lately with the app freezing every few seconds, but after I posted this, I zoomed in on my map and suddenly the freezing was going away. So just an FYI, the app can only handle rendering so many icons on the map view before things start going haywire.
Next, I've been noticing some strange messages being sent from the app. Here is the log:

Normally all I would see is this:
F1 2016-02-05 00:19:46,559 DEBUG Received message with type 3 and size 27. F1 2016-02-05 00:19:46,559 DEBUG Received message with type 3 and size 27.

F1 2016-02-05 00:19:46,608 DEBUG Dispatching message with type 3 and size 9
And so on. I understand the latter is likely the map position being updated. But the above... I haven't the foggiest (are you sending a heartbeat?).
Thoughts?
