Description

Not sure if its just on my end but opening the Bhangmeter caused my BYOND to go non-responsive and forced me to close and re-log. Same thing happened multiple times trying to use the console.

What Actually Happened

Eneocho commented 2 years ago

The bhangmeter is a known client crasher, it tries loading the current map for all the valid Z-levels at once, which nukes the shitcode client. If you do survive the ordeal (about 2-3 minutes of "crashed" client), you get a decent quality map of the area, which can be used to find some vaults/ships. It didn't cause hell lag before (like a year or so ago), but shit happened at some point and now it's nigh unusable.

Personally it "works" for me, without lag, but maybe it's because it loads a zoomed in version of the map that cannot be panned or zoomed out of. (i.e. it's mostly unusable)
