ZK Lobby is unusable

agree with the content

It was fine before u made the change to lobby so it does not update UI while ingame and only when u switch to the lobby itself...
Even when it "worked as intended" it was clunky as hell... I wanted to kill the lobby and just restart as it was faster than all this jittering replaying which makes u want to scratch ur eyes out

If u wanna save on resources - update in one go instead of lazily replaying network messages u buffered... "pre-render" ur UI changes in memory to compute the final UI state and only then update. And make sure it does not block the lobby after 1 hour clusterfuck game finishes - it's gonna be A LOT of those changes and even pre-rendering in one go may not entirely save the situation here(probably tens of thousands of update state packets)

The best approach probably would be:
- if ingame/alt-tabed(minimized) do not update lobby from network packets - buffer instead
- when buffer size reaches N messages/game quits/maximized - recompute UI state in the memory, clear buffer
- when game quits - update UI in one go from memory state(no replaying)

No feature is better than crappy implemented feature.
Not sure even if we need this... what is the purpose?

When you say "it can last for minutes", seems like a huge overstatement. For me it's just a matter of seconds of wall of texts being uploaded and that's it.

seems like u haven't spent 1 hour long games as spec being alt-tab most of the time
have fun next time u do

It's just disgusting to see the same ugly catch-up implemented in game being brought back to lobby

I don't really care what lobby is using
All I care is UX, and UX sucks so badly...

For 3 you mean "the battle I was in started without me because to them I randomly left, and I can't explain either because I can't see the screen at all."? And anyhow is this different than points 1 and 2?

It is a bit confusing because you mix problems (screen blacking out) with actions to fix them (restart the game) with things that happen to other players (games starts without you).

For Firepluk problem I think is clear and happens to me a bit when I return from the game, although I barely notice it (maybe stronger computer). What computer do you have Firepluk? Is it as bad when you finish a long game (for example due to messages in #zk channel)

I'm playing from ultrabook(i7 7500u) with an external gtx 1060 connected via thunderbolt 3
Problem persist both when I come from long alt-tab while speccing and when I finish playing/speccing long match(~1h long or so)

raaar I have the same problem.

For reference i have an i7-8700 with NVIDIA GTX 1060 6GB (normal desktop), and although I also see the described behavior, for me it takes couple of seconds (maybe 3-4 never counted). The processors does not seem that different compared to Firepluk's (even at 2x faster and it should be under 10 seconds).

It keeps happening.
