CPU usage is not an issue here, CPU will be used heavily once downloading is finished. Can you show screenshot of per-core CPU usage? Also if you open “About” → “System Information” you can find a place where your logs are stored, please upload the first log file (there should be no confidential information in there). ---

I discovered that the plot progress can only be made when the CPU is used, and I don’t know what it is doing when it is not used. ![1704004870963](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex011/uploads/subspace/original/2X/0/022e199f8cf6c7e31743f1ba71f069dd2c5a11b3.png) ---

You’re confusing cause and effect. It is not using CPU because it is not actively encoding, not the other way around. The only other thing it might be doing is downloading pieces from the network. ---

I see no issues in logs, must be very slow connectivity to the rest of Subspace network. Let’s try to collect some more details: 1. Close Space Acres 2. Delete all log files of Space Acres 3. Open PowerShell (regular, not admin!) 4. Run `$Env:RUST_DEBUG = "info,subspace_farmer=trace,subspace_farmer_components=trace"` 5. Run `&"C:\Program Files\Space Acres\bin\space-acres.exe"` 6. Let application run for 15 minutes, then close the app 7. Share all the log files with me (there might be a few of them) This should give me a better idea about what is happening there. ---

I still cannot post the link address. The system prompts: An error occurred: Sorry you cannot post a link to that host. The new version of the 15-minute log file. In addition, I am re-plotting 44% to close the program, and then open it again and it will always be 0%. ---

I checked the log, or some reason the change didn’t have effect. I changed log level in a different way, try the same with this build once it is available: [Release · nazar-pc/space-acres@8bc98ba · GitHub](https://github.com/nazar-pc/space-acres/actions/runs/7403169543) And try to delete Space Acres before installing this test version, just in case.
