Hi 0x52 I recently stumbled across a bug I can't get solved by resetting urm default settings.
After playing through born2breed I noticed now while playing MurMur, that the default box sizings are somewhat out of order. In the attached screenshot you can see what I mean. While for the first two screenshots I does not bother me, the third screenshot which shows the panel for editing variable values is bigger than the screen and therefore limited in moving the panel / not adjustable. Can you give me a quick run-down on how to reset to previous behaviour (I deleted the settings file in appdata/renpy/0x52-URM, tested both on v2.60 and v2.61)

Edit: Some panels like in screenshot 4 are not affected by this

you have to delete the persistent files for those games too i think - at both locations game and appdata
make a backup and try
Just retried that. Deleted the AppData\Roaming\RenPy\ Murmur and URM folders as well as the the local save folder of MurMur installation. It still keeps that behaviour. I started another RenPy Game with URM (Futas World of NTR by Scarlet) and there URM panels work as expected. I'll retry with again deleting the saves and a fresh install (deleting the game folder and extracting the rar).
I will post the outcome shortly.

So reinstall of MurMur didn't work. I tried another renpy game I did a fresh extract on, renamed the save files so I wouldn't be found be the game and there URM (v2.60) works as expected as well. Now after already deleting Born2Breed where I encountered the issue for the first time I extracted that game again and pasted URM (v2.60) into it. There it works as expected as well. So far I only those issues with MurMur. Can someone confirm that it's only on my end?

I'll note down any games i get it in in the future if you'd like, as for what caused it today, a house in the rift.
This took a lot of digging, but I found the issue with A House in the Rift.

The game is calling Function() 20 times a second... yes!! 20 times a second!
Every time this is called Ren'Py rebuilds te whole screen. So when URM is showing a lot it all gets rebuild a lot, which slows things down.

ZanithOne, your game can be made a lot more efficient by changing the line in misc_utils from:
timer 0.05 action Function(periodic_callback) repeat True
to:
timer 0.05 action Function(periodic_callback, _update_screens=False) repeat True
(I didn't take a deep dive into it, but the screenupdate seems unnecessary)

Fascinating... so it can be assumed that is most likely what is going on in other games? I can't imagine many game devs think to add that update screen component if they're new to adding that function call, only thing to ponder than is why a dev would want to add that in the first place? It's not common for games to lag with URM open, so i can't see it as common to use that function call, so it must serve some niche purpose, even a clueless dev needs to have some impetus to add it in the first place... no one just wakes up and adds random shit to their code for no reason...

at this game , the urm watchpanel disappears everytime you watch a replay from here

Screenshot_1.png

the little watchpanel button stays at the replays , but disappears after the replay is done

and the worst part - you cant activate urm again after this
alt-m dont works
you have to delete the persistent file and start a new game to get urm working again
or rollback the whole replay until before you start to play it

urm v 2.6.1
win 10 x64

there is a workaround , but ..
enabling the urm quickmenu to have the urm button
