very low framerate in adventure?
« on: February 18, 2012, 08:02:07 am »
in the previous version i could run adventure flawlessly and fortresses up to 300 people smoothly, now i just started an adventurer and it takes almost a second for each move, am i doing something wrong?

No, the new version is very CPU intensive in Adventure mode. I'm afraid we cant do much about it other then wait for Toady to optimize it a bit and/or get a new, better computer.

What PRINT_MODE are you using in init.txt?  If it's 2D, try changing it to STANDARD.  Let us know if that fixes the problem.

I've come across that issue in certain areas of one town, but nowhere else. I suspect there's a horde of zombies in the sewers or something.

Why does my adventurer keep crying?

Greiger's is actually correct...  sadly enough.  The emotional circumstance processor is still turned on, with a randomly rolled up personality, but they can't express themselves or take control...  they can only cry.

Thanks! Doing that increased adventure mode performance a lot for me.

Bear in mind that if you start in a town, there will be literally thousands of items all around you that the game has to keep track of and display all at once

I supose if a dwarf is unhappy or hurt they might have a miscarriage. Perhaps we could experiment a bit.

if i set print mode to standard the game just doesn't run anymore, i think i'll just wait till the updates stop dropping
