Dwarf Fortress has gone haywire.
« on: October 17, 2009, 01:57:34 am »

I haven't played the game in several months and was in the mood for some dwarf fortress. The game booted up fine - made a world and all that.
Except it went crazy and sped up to incredible speed. Here's what different from a normal play.

Yellow X, blue ? and the general framerate flashs alot faster.
Arrow keys registers up to 5 times and quickly dashs over the selection.
It makes precision work harder. It feels like my computer has been overclocked overnight.

I'm sure its something on my computer rather than the game itself, but dwarf fortress seem to be the only thing affected by it. Also, double-clicking anywhere have stopped working.

You forgot a detail: Dorfs get webbed in GCS webs and trigger traps. Right now we have some 12 caged dwarves, including you.

You can change the key repeat rate in data/init/init.txt, which should help with the arrow keys registering too quickly. Otherwise, it sounds like you're a beneficiary of one of the more optimized versions of DF (e.g. 40d16 instead of just 40d).
