Dear players,
We need your assistance on this issue because we think that it is definitely one of those PC lag inducing issues.
Can you please provide, formal feedback on your performance before and after deleting "all" of your chat channels, keeping the critical ones of course. Pay special concern to your Voice enabled chats.
Every side conversation on chat may be reducing your overall performance and if proven to be correct, we want to do some changes or at least provide a PSA to players so that they know.
A lot players just have old channels open that noone is using anymore, just because they can't be bothered.
There are many issues at hand, but if we try to streamline all of them, each might get us a few frames here and there, taking some maps out of rotation, reducing graphic quality, and unused chats, and so on.
Thanks!

Aeon Amadi wrote:Starting up some custom channels that the community can use temporarily for this little experiment. Will always introduce a few 'wildcard' variables as well that are known to cause performance hits (Eve Online players voicing up, for instance).
Channels:
VCOMS LAG 1 (primary testing channel)
VCOMS LAG 2
VCOMS LAG 3
VCOMS LAG 4
VCOMS LAG 5
Feel free to join up if you have some extra channel space.
Thank you Aeon!

Short update
The simple number of chat channels does not seem to be a problem.
A) We still recommend closing them and deactivating voice if you are not using it.
B) We are doing testing on the texture quality, and would like to be able to recommend to players what to expect in frames by tuning it down.
However, when a player does some actions, there is a "refresh all chat members" call that happens across all channels, even if it's not an active channel. We will be trying to stop that from happening as it can cripple the performance in large alliance chats.
We will also be testing whether the icons/portraits are causing load issues. They do not seem to be.
Based on testing we will probably instill two clean up rules:
1) All email older than 30 days will be deleted during downtime. Store hatemail by forwarding to alts, or take a picture, it lasts longer.
2) All channels that have had no activity in a certain period will be deleted during downtime.
I also have a question, in the many threads, I remember someone mentioning some work done on bringing up Corp MEmber info, versus the Contact list being super slow to load. This optimization happened before I was on the team so help would be appreciated.

This optimization happened before I was on the team so help would be appreciated. CCP never shared what they did to optimize it, just that they did it. You're going to have to ask around within CCP. The only visible change from it was when you look at corp members it has a generic empty image for all members where pre change it had your icon. The same icon the contact list and all the channels currently show. This is why I believe your wrong it's not the icon causing issues :) I wish this also applied to the corp members tab of the contacs pop up, when trying to invite people to a chat... takes forever and a half, though thankfully not the centuries it takes to load the contacts tab :(
I honestly don't see a reason why we wouldn't try to speed up the contacts as well.

This initiative is not really a feature to add general improvements, it's just get improve performance. But I believe Dennie has been pushing for more general admin roles in Dust
