Hundreds of alert messages hangup
« on: June 05, 2009, 09:43:38 am »

During a goblin siege, I ordered "only soldiers outside."  One of my dwarves was apparently carrying some sort of animal.  Either right at the order or shortly after, he was at an inside/outside doorway (not the main one, just a shortcut tunnel).

I immediately got hundreds of messages that this one dwarf "cancels brewing, transporting a dangerous animal" and "cancels carry item, transporting a dangerous animal."  I immediately canceled all his jobs but apparently there were hundreds of the same message in the que.

This slowed the game down to a crawl, a short goblin siege took about an hour because the game ran so slow.

Sounds a little like this one.  Do you have swimming creatures on your map?

No water-based creatures, although I have a brook, some reroutes of said brook, and wells that various creatures and dwarves like to fall into.  The messages were the same though.
