Strange behavior of PC explorer and VAM

[valerok999]

Good afternoon, everyone, I'm looking for an answer to my question.
At a random moment, while I was playing in Vam (animations, adding audio, etc.) in the computer Explorer folder (not VAM), I saw that the files (.mp3) disappear one by one when opening the folder, and after everything disappears, the files reappear (in time, this happens for 5-10 seconds). There were 5 files, the file size was less than 1 MB. But the most interesting thing is that while such a "bug" persisted, it became faster and faster to work in virta mate, for example, opening a list of thousands of poses, instead of a minute, it opened in 5 seconds. In the game itself, everything has become much faster to work (smoothness and FPS feel).And as soon as the file explorer on the computer started working as usual, and everything returned to VAM as before (it became slower).

And it became interesting to me how these two factors are interconnected. Perhaps someone has encountered the same thing or knows the reason for this behavior. It would be interesting to use such a feature while playing VAM.

Thank you in advance!

p.s.The whole situation passed in 5 minutes. The vam is on the SSD, unfortunately the task manager did not have time to check(

Yowza! This is some very weird biased confirmation thing lol

We don't even know what are "the mp3s" nor how they relate to VAM.

Overall, having coded a lot for VAM, I never ever noticed files getting removed/created at runtime like this. Generally when you create cache, you don't wipe it afterwards as it's better to increase loading times.

Unless you can clearly reproduce the phenomenon, often, on purpose. There is no interconnection. Correlation/Causation you know : )

This is not a professional answer. I would panic and scan the shit out of my PC. I think you should check the task manager when it's happening.

True, this is weird. But I don't really get what you mean by "not professional"... it's hardly possible to give an answer to a biased report
There is pretty much zero way to tie those files showing/disappearing to VAM. There is so much possibilities, that it has probably nothing to do with the sudden reactivity of VAM unless you can make an actual connection to it and reproduce the phenomenon.

That kind of report is even in the "101" of windows weirdnesses you can see over the web.

I don't think it's the VAM thing. It's probably Windows Explorer. For example, a windows service crashed, as a result of which the explorer was blunted and the rest of the processes accelerated.

I also found a video on the Internet with a similar problem, I attach screenshots for more understanding.

Yeah, it's probably a "file list refresh thing".

But even if it is, it seems insane that your explorer process would strain VAM that much if it's crashed. Unless you have a very low tier CPU.
