Anyone else having trouble with stars exclusion zones not showing?

I've had issues with this in the past where it sometimes takes a few seconds after jumping in for it to show up, but lately it's been much worse and they're not showing up at all. This has gotten me in trouble in my last two jumps, first by a Brown Dwarf, then by a White Dwarf. Both times I pulled up immediately, but since I couldn't see the exclusion zone I was just guessing as to how much and probably should have dethrottled as well.

I also went back to the White Dwarf later to see if I could cone boost off it, and I couldn't even do that since there was no way to tell when I was too close to the main body of the star and would be pulled out of Supercruise by an emergency stop.

Filter out white dwarfs so you never jump into them. I was neutron jumping for a couple of months out in the black, got home and was killed by a white dwarf the next day

Speaking of filtering stars... I have noticed that purple ones (sorry can't remember actual name, brown maybe?) still get included in the route even though I have them deselected! Haven't been caught without fuel because of this yet, but I'm sure it's going to happen some day!

I think it may be server (or network) related. The connection is not fine if the loading of the data (like the star exclusion line) takes too long. Sometimes I notice it too but thankfully it's never too bad. I don't filter the route plotter, I pay attention to what star comes next and if it's something dangerous like a white dwarf I dethrottle even during the jump sequence. Whichever method works best for you.
