Odd freezing after weather clears
« on: July 05, 2010, 07:53:16 pm »
It's really odd, every time the weather clears from a snowstorm or whatever, my game freezes for about half a minute. Any reason why?

It could be the game autosaving as winter rolls to spring. It could be the brooks and rivers melting and creating water flows. It could be all the little "a dusting of snow" piles getting deleted. It could be a ton of huge ambushes spawning around the map. This is most likely specific to your given computer and region, those are all just my best guesses about what's slowing you down in this situation.

It's probably 2 or 3. I turned off invaders, and it didn't say it was saving.

But that's why they're called ambushes.  Because you don't expect them.

Naw I'm just messing with your head.

Or ARE you?


Also, it might be a bug in the code. in any case, it doesn't seem to be too big a deal.

Don't think of it as being besieged by thralls/husks, think of it as having your own personal moat of life hating mutilated menaces

Now wall yourself in quickly

It could also be caravan or migrant calculations, if you have an epicly old or complex world gen.
