Dialogic 2 -> Dialogic.start() freezes the game momentarily the first time its called

[gabrielf82]

Hi!
In my 3D scene, I’ve incorporated some example code that initiates a test timeline when the player enters a specific Area3D and presses a Key_E. However, I’ve noticed that the application momentarily freezes at the exact point when start("some_timeline") is called. Interestingly, this pause only occurs the first time; subsequent calls do not result in any pause. Is there a way to prevent this initial pause? Could preloading (or loading) something be a potential solution? Or am I doing something wrong?

if player_contact:
if event is InputEventKey and event.keycode == KEY_E and event.pressed:
Dialogic.start('timeline_test')
get_viewport().set_input_as_handled()

It's the exact issue I'm facing. Thank you!
Although it seems to be still unresoveld.
Should I remove this post?
