Route Plotting is getting excruciatingly slow.

[Ism]

I know it's partly the density of stars where I'm at (sector EOCH FLYUAE) (in the armpit of the spiral arm on the way to Jaques.

Here's the issue, 10 minutes ago I plotted a 130Ly route. It's still calculating. This has been getting progressively worse since the latest upgrade (been out in the void since April).
Is it me, or have others noticed the slowdown?

Here is a very great explanation why this happens and how you can work with the routeplotter in very dense parts of the galaxy:

Sometimes get a little of what appears to be lag when route plotting. Try moving the map around a bit or just cancel out and try again as sometimes it seems to hang on itself, but yes, have noticed a slowdown over the past few weeks that did not exist before.

Not only that, but last night, the waypoints stopped completely 2 jumps before the route was finished. It was still there but had to be targeted manually fer some reason. Up until last week, this had never once happened, whereas it's happened twice this week so far.

this thread is golden. use the math in there to get your plotting range - it reduced plotting time to 30-45 seconds for me.

Thanks for the quick replies.
Yes the slowdown and strange quirks in the galaxy map and system map have started getting worse in the past week or so.
Besides the nice additions to the game, it as bug ridden as the game has ever been in the past. To see it, all one has to do is play it.
We're even back to in flight stuttering, black holes that don't lense, lighting issues....the list goes on.

But the Galaxy map is the worse.

Update:
Ok, so I decided to plot in fastest and it took about 5 seconds but was 100 jumps (fastest would be 4). I went back to fastest and it did the same thing (just locked up on 97% routed).
So I started jumping in economical. Two jumps, I went back to plot the fastest route. Less than 2 seconds I have a route.

Looks like I'm going have to use work arounds like this till it gets addressed in the next fix.

My workaround was trying to plot the route nearest to 1 kly. Wait a few seconds and then try a new system just 4 o 5 ly shorter. Repeat. There is a time where the plot is calculated fast. Then just note that system just in case I need to replot. With the last patch you can add a new bookmark (I usually call it "temp").
