That would be Maxese for "halp my PC is on fire" I suspect.

[Fleeting Frames]

Test with smaller site and see if you still have that memory leak?

[Max™]

Not quite that bad, it froze after I got to 5.3 (out of 6.7 used, 8 max) and kwin tripped/reset itself.


Just got back up to 5.3 GB and I'm going to save after this time gets back to the screen. It isn't actually laggy while not adding GB at a time of usage, interestingly.

Well, had to turn the whole computer off when it took minutes to move the mouse cursor across the screen after it got up to 6.3 GB on df, 7.54 GB total.

Yeah, figured it out, the site was causing animal populations to remain loaded and then more populations come on the map, who then remain, and then more, etc.

Cyan masterwork symbols are my sense creature icons, you may note several are blinking because there are multiple on many tiles, and the cavern layer above this one is also filling up.


Made a bug report as I've had this happen a few times now, still not exactly sure what makes it happen beyond some creatures becoming histfigs and making new histfigs by interacting with them, but it's a savekiller for sure: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=9925 so there that is.

Its always been a case in that any creature that can accrue sentient kills (sometimes non-sentient, but that's a necessity of whether two conflicting and usually [SPECIFIC_FOOD] predator/prey animals come into play and can spawn on the map simultaneously or by means of worldgen/adventure mode real-time shenanigans) to gain a coveted historical figure status. I don't know if gaining a historical status overrides the natural 1 group in - 1 group out behavior of natural populations.

My personal theory is it's giant bats travelling between layers (finnicky air pathing too, bats are EXTREMELY poplar historical figs as well as the subterranean biome being large enough to support the meager local populations, so that collaboratively there are a lot of giant bats) and killing creatures that they find. Its not that the bats themselves are overpowered, as much as the [LARGE_ROAMING] (despite the [LARGE_PREDATOR] that keeps only 1 example of the map for that biome at a time) dictates that they move about as other cavern wildlife usually from one end to the other, naturally drawing them into conflict if they choose a different destination to leave while another group of cavern creatures on another level are also spawning/active.

Alternatively it could be creatures falling into inescapable caverns from above via climbing/dodging behaviours without a means to get out (or conversely the creatures are waiting for you to open up a path so that they can escape the map via the surface as the nearest pathfinding alternative.)

EDIT - Whoops, sorry i didn't realize you meant that you were talking about a adventurer site as opposed to a 'fortress embark' site. My apologies.

Couldn't be those, there isn't time for anything to happen, I'm literally building a camp while magma collapses around it, so after each work period ends there are a couple of ticks with fluid movement and anything around might be able to aim an attack, but nothing has time to kill anything else. Things don't even have time to fall before the magma collapse finishes.

First time I had this happen it was a bajillion yaks and peregrine falcon people and zombie polar bears and zombie ice wolves

The specific trigger seems to be the site getting named, I hadn't actually put that connection until earlier when I was trying a new build and it was all dandy until I named the site and then the lag/memory munching started up and I started accumulating inhabitants.

No prob, it's not the same type of bug as I'd expect in fort mode is all, since I am literally racing against the magma collapse.

Which makes it weirder when I look around after focusing on getting what I can manage to build in place, and suddenly there's hordes of wildlife lagging me up.

now waiting for the 32bit LNP of this release

[jecowa]

Are you still using XP or Vista or something?

Some of us prefer quality elven homegrown *literally* computer engineering because its cheap and ethical, its not my fault if my computer catches fire.

[Snafu]

"Elven"? "Grown"? You want to get down with the mica, man.. pure silicon is the way to go..

[Libash_Thunderhead]

I just installed windows 10 yesterday and backed-up my old 32bit system just in case.
I have only 2.5GB of ram.

[Pvt. Pirate]

Still on XP - and i'd rather gp for linux than ever install anything beyond win7.
Ans win7 i'd have to buy, but i won't give Microsoft another dime and if i had foreseen how things would come, i wouldn't have ever bought winXP either.

[BlueBuilding]

32-Bit to 64-Bit, congrats!

Install Linux then. XP is a virus honeypot these days.

i would - if i could arrange this without data loss.
also i would need to find a huge amount of alternative software and a way to play at least half of my games.

If it's only XP era games then the majority of them will work perfectly fine under Wine: https://appdb.winehq.org/ (if they don't just have a Linux version).
