0.0887 Mining laser beams vanish

[VariousArtist]

This is a little strange. The rendered salvage laser beens sometimes vanish but is still working fine. Couldnt find out the circumstances or how to reproduce it, sry.
if needed: i3-2120, nvidia 550 ti with actual drivers, 8gb

I have seen this as well. It seems to happen after using them for a long time. I would think it has some thing to do with the GC colleting the beam image.

no, the GC doesn't collect any images as they are in a whole different context where java has no reach (the graphics card).
But part of it is right. I implemented, that only a maximum amount of beams can be displayed at once to prevent people with weaker computers to overload and slow down. The max amount is very very low at the moment. I'm going to increase that amount and even make it customizable in the future.

Strange, because I think i was the only one on the server and had 4 salvage beams.

 

[schema]

hmm, there may still be some bugs with the counting of active beams. I'll take a look into that

 

[cyb3rkn19ht]

I think your idea of counting the active beams being incorrect is right. I had it happen with 4 beams as well. Also I could not see my friends beams when he had 20 or so.

I restarted my server. The beams were back, but I doubt this is the last time they\'ll disappear...
