34.05 : extreme lag on a map (seems to be caused by INVADERS:YES !)
« on: March 13, 2012, 08:34:34 am »
I started a fresh embark with a 34.05 map. Everything was fine during the first year. Then winter came and the brook and pools on my map froze and when it started snowing the fps went down to 25 and stayed there. Everything is awfully slow and lagging (the key input, too, when I switch z levels with < and > often it jumps 2 levels instead of one.

Iīve had forts with freezing rivers in earlier version and they didnīt behave like that. Short lags when the river froze or thawed, nothing too bad.

Can anybody confirm that? I looked in the bug section and while there are some similar bugs they are all pretty old (from 2010).

Iīll try disabling weather and temperature... but then my brook will stay frozen, right? Will it thaw if I enable temperature again when itīs summer?

Edit: ok I waited until spring, then turned off temperature and weather and since I already was at it I turned off invaders to buy me some time to get my weapon and armor industry running (yes, I know thatīs lame). Well, fps jumped back up to 100. I was curious if it was rather the weather or temperature setting, so I consecutively enabled them again.

Fps stayed at 100. Just as test I enabled invaders again... and the lags started again. Now that is really strange. Only one year passed and so far I only had the usual 2-3 kobold thieves, not even an ambush. Created wealth is 37k which is next to nothing.

I rarely get any invader before year 3, but it seem to depend heavily on your fortress wealth and export. If you export a lot of cash, you are likely to get ambush real soon after that.

As for the invader:yes, I really don't know. You should post that on mantis.

If you can reproduce and FPS drop simply by enabling/disabling invaders, then you should post it on mantis with the save.

Yeah, I just did that. Is a zip of the savegame folder enough? I play with the Pheobus tileset, so should I better upload the whole DF folder?
