Optimization error in 4.2.4

There is a bug in the 4.2.4 software using optimization. The counters at the top is not working correctly. It shows a dash or 0 time left while it is still working.

Hi,

Can you post a screenshot and cBot code sample? I just checked and counters are working fine.

RE: Screenshots

As you can see in the screenshot above, The remaining time just shows a Dash while the optimization is still working. In fact it will go down to zero wity the optimization not complete and then oscillates between a zero and dash as it completes and then sets at a dash at completion leaving me to wonder if it has completed or not. It would be far better to show a zero at completion than a dash.

 

 I am testing the Simple MA bot found on the forum

Hi,

When you start optimization the remaining time is unknown, once an optimization pass if finished optimizer knows how long it will take for a single optimization pass to finish.

After that it multiplies the value to the number of passes and shows the remaining time, it's an estimated time based on the time a single pass took.
