Petcom Keybinds causing random side effects while under heavy load

[Fira]

Playing Mastermind and when staging biiig fights, notably in ITF, eg. by pulling 80+ enemies into a big blob the game starts to freak out in various ways.

 

One of the main way i experience is that the whole of game UI will go choppy and start briefly freezing and flashing into a black outline.

 

When pushing it further, my petcom keybinds will also start to randomly glitch like this:

 

 

A few weeks ago, it flat out RESET all my keybinds randomly mid-mission, as evidenced in logs:

2024-02-18 21:49:39 Metal Swiper MISSES! Sawblade power had a 6.00% chance to hit, but rolled a 32.05.

 

And today, exiting a mission where this happeend repeatedly, my tray numbers were reset, some to tray number 16 (which doesn't even exist, it goes up to 9 max, and as such can't be used):

 

I'm guessing there's some kind of memory corruption at play around the petcom command causing all this. As funny as it is, I'm a bit worried of what else it could do 😛

To clarify this is a long-standing issue, that I've been experiencing since at least 2022
