ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Noticed whenever I go to the fortress, the particles in front of the teleporter pads speed up to account for all the turns I spent away from the fortress, then go back to normal, like the old actor bug that got squished a few betas ago. Is this related to yufra's particle bug post or something else altogether?

Not it accounts for the number of frames "lost" computing the level, I can not do much about it currently
