[Bug] When "Show PC Uptime" is enabled, steady high CPU usage

[Gamersven]

Describe the bug
If i turn on the option "Show PC Uptime" in "Wrist Overlay" i get a constant CPU Usage of about 5%.
This even if no SteamVR or VRChat is running.
Disabling this Option fixes it and the CPU usage is down again.

To Reproduce
If i turn this option on or off i get instant high/low CPU usage.
When i give my sqlite db to a friend, his CPU did not Spike, even when activating this option.
So i guess this has to do something with my PC.

Expected behavior
Dont spike my CPU usage like that.

Give the latest nightly build a try, I couldn't replicate this issue but if it was the cause it should be fixed now.

Hi,

thank you for trying to fix my issue.
Sadly the new nightly version is completely broken, as in it does not start anymore after the update.

The only log i got with this version is this:

2024-03-16 15:34:11.6148 [INFO ] VRCX - VRCX Nightly 2024-03-15T15.08-0b64416
Starting...
2024-03-16 15:34:11.6643 [DEBUG] VRCX.ProcessMonitor - Added process vrchat to process monitor.
2024-03-16 15:34:11.6643 [DEBUG] VRCX.ProcessMonitor - Added process vrserver to process monitor.
2024-03-16 15:34:12.6880 [INFO ] VRCX.WorldDBManager - Listening for requests on http://127.0.0.1:22500/

and it closes/crashes itself shortly after starting VRCX.

is there anything further i could do to help you?

Does the nightly version before this one work? can you check if your anti virus is affecting anything?

[Gamersven]

Actually yeah, that was the version i was running prior.

I got it working now.
After Cloning the Repo and setting up VS and some bruteforce trying to get it trying to launch through there i got an error message that pointed me to the possible right? solution i guess.

It crashed right there:
public static void ApplyVrJavascriptBindings(IJavascriptObjectRepository repository)
{
repository.NameConverter = null;
---> repository.Register("AppApiVr", AppApiVr.Instance);
}

I dont have the exact error message anymore and i cant recreate it but it said like my System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter.dll could be corrupted or something like that.
Still dont know how this could happen but these steps possibly fixed it:

Newest Nightly without my CPU issue and with Uptime enabled.

Im sorry for your troubles.
Thank you very much <3

Thanks for looking deep into it makes my life much easier, interesting.... I guess I'll add Try Catch error handling to the performance counter stuff.
