Repetitive freezing
« on: November 01, 2007, 11:10:00 pm »
in the new version, it seems that whenever I set up a construct, shortly thereafter the game freezes for several seconds.  If I ignore it and do something else, then the game unfreezes.  Is this related to a beforementioned pathfinding issue possibly to do with the one-tile-wide several-tile-high staircase to my construction site?

Also that infinite blood bug has managed to spread blood 15 tiles down through 2 doorways and up 4 flights of stairs    :eek:

EDIT:  Okay, it happens even when I haven't set a construction to be made.  For the record, all the action takes place on ground level and underground right now, and the stairway in major use is a 2x2 stairway >_>

I've had a similar problem. In my first fortress (it was also the first version of the new release) this occurred when I built a well. I dug a 1x1 'channel' and ordered the well to be built there. I can't say it for 100% certanity, but it's likely the game froze when the well was built. Back then I thought the game crashed, though I could hear the music, so I terminated DF.

Now in the patched version I started getting these freezes too. I can't tell what might've caused the freeze this time. But when the game froze, I left DF on to see if it infact didn't crash. And it didn't. The game actually continued, but I started getting these freezes regularily!

Oh, and forgot to mention. The game freezes for over 90 seconds!

Update on this one. Apparently I had an unlucky dwarf stranded in a flooded area. He wouldn't give any job cancel messages or anything, so I didn't know he was there. As soon as he was freed (from his mortal coil   ;) ) the freezings stopped. Hope this helps
