System Map is now LETHALLY SLOW.

[EDbubba]

Excuse me, but some time ago (before Horizons (?) and after the Wings (for that I am sure), system map was almost instant (always)...

Wild guess, the problem is somehow related to planetary landing informations on the map...

Nope... I traveled to the core during 1.2/1.3 and the map was always quite slow to open.

During our current travels with the Distant Worlds expedition, it has become obvious that the complexity of the system and the resolution of the PC's display have a significant impact on the speed of the system map opening.

I run 4k at 3840x2160 and the system map can be very slow, depending on the number of objects, and more importantly, the number of stars in the system. (it seems that the pre-rendering of the stars takes a long time...)

In summary, it appears to be a graphic processing issue, not bandwidth.

After todays update 2.0.06 my system map is opening much faster, was taking a minute, now 10 seconds

still too slow. and I have sub 1080p resolution.
need an option for low SM detail just like we have for the galaxy map....

It has always loaded in under 10 seconds for me, usually less than 5. It does need to be fixed though.

It is rendered in the GPU, so the more shader cores you have, that faster it renders.
That being said, the game needs some more work in this dept.

I timed it last night and it is consistently 3-4 seconds.

I'm on the distant words expedition as well.

Absolutely, it really should be included in the HUD, a much needed mod for for the 2.2 update? Frontier??
Mine takes ages too, the more planets the longer it takes, what really sucks is if I'm going through a system and after every scan i have to get system map up again to
check for materials and metallicity etc and it's a total pain in the space buttocks.
What should be done is all the system info is loaded up as soon as you're in the system, (during hyperspace maybe) and gradually revealed as you explore the system
so when i flip up system map it's instant and I, no, we don't have to wait for some server in europe or wherever to get back to us 10 or 20 seconds later.
Could Frontier please fix this ,before Oct as it makes the game suck.
