Extremely laggy equip screen for customisations caused by re-rendering every outfit for preview icons in perpetuety

Issue Type (Required):

Cosmetics

Issue Description (Required):

I guess Cosmetics cus it only happens in the equip screens for cosmetics as far as I’ve seen.

If you want to equip a cosmetic on your character (applies mostly to helmets/chest/legs, but happens for all preview screens, just less noticably), the game will re-render each equipment item for a preview icon (I assume it downscales them, because you can equip a new item while the game is still rendering the previews and it will load instantly), effectivly freezing the game for each item for idk, half a second to a second per item. This happens everytime you enter the screen and even more hillariously, happens if you scroll down and back up, causing the top most icons to render a second time without having even closed the menu view.
This also happens with the previews for the cosmetic overview screen, only very imperceptibly because it only renders a few items and assumably they’re partly cached. It is a detectable freeze frame though.

Slightly unrelated:
This bug has been in the game for months, and I am honestly shocked its not fixed, and I’m even more shocked because I’ve come to realise maybe nobody even reported this before.

Steps to Reproduce (Required):

  1. Operative Screen → Cosmetics
  2. Change any item, armor items for most noticable effect, since it loads the most items.
  3. Attempt to scroll the preview menu, observe intense lag.
  4. Optionally equip an armor item that hasn’t loaded yet in the previews. Observe how it is unaffected by the preview menu.
