[2.6.3] Low FPS when there are many "characters of special interest"

[jruderman]

If I mark many characters as "special interest" using the star, everything in the interface becomes noticeably sluggish. Even panning around the map is reduced to several FPS. I am playing on Windows 10.

I incorrectly interpreted this as "late game lag" or "large realm lag" for several years. But recently I figured out that it was connected to the size of my special-interest list. Changing the outliner settings to not list characters of special-interest makes the lag disappear, but collapsing the outliner does not.

I have attached my save, in which 454 characters are marked as special interest.

This happens if your demesne is very large, too, for example after invading a large realm as a nomad but before pillaging the holdings.

I wonder if the same workaround works there (uncheck "demesne settlements" in the outliner config)

Pretty sure that was fixed in 2.6 or vastly improved.

It does. That's how I normally avoid the FPS drops.
