Random FPS Crash...
« on: July 23, 2011, 09:21:54 pm »
I have about 90 dwarves in a fortress that has been going for about 4 years. Everything is going great until my FPS plumets from 80-90 to 15. I didn't do anything at all. I breached the caverns a while back and there was not discernible FPS drop, but now everything is going so slow! Is there any fix to this? Will it go away?

Dwarf 2: And then the battle is not so bad?
Dwarf 1: Oh...right. I forgot about the battle.

You've got ambushers lurking around. Let a few soapmakers wander around outdoors for a bit.

Undesignate any meeting area, lock pets outside. Wait roughly 5 minutes, and expect "AN AMBUSH! CURSE THEM!" x 99.

If you've got a significant buildup of items, turning off temperature might help (constant checks if they're melting/etc).

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

That was...weird. It popped back up to 75fps a season or so later. Must have been something in the caves or something...
