I don't really know what is causing it, but as soon as a vault is generated on a dungeon level, the game becomes horribly slow. Moving, running, checking inventory... and mostly all commands take ages to respond. What is puzzling me is that the problem happens... even if the generated vault is very small (like a 2x2 area with scrolls or potions).

Humm
Every single time ?
Is this new in beta13?

Posted: **Mon Nov 01, 2010 11:31 pm**

Nope, not new. Been that way since vaults were introduced.
Any special check made on vault terrain in the code?

Posted: **Wed Nov 03, 2010 12:37 pm**

Old Forest with a 2x2 room containing a scroll and a skeleton mage guarding it...
Resting is regenerating mana/hp at 1 per second...
Running doesn't work (walking is faster lol)...
Opening equipment/inventory menu takes 20-30 seconds...

This also happened on a level without a vault

There was probably a monster nest on the level... what I don't understand is why the slowdown continues once all monsters on the level are dead...

Any idea how to monitor time consumption? There seems to be a clear bottleneck here...

Humm

Yes, when it is slow, press ctrl+alt+shift+p, move around do stuff, well make it go slow, then press ctrl+alt+shift+p again and send me the profiler.log file it should have generated. (DO NOT press ctrl+alt+shift+p after that without restarting or it'll crash)

It'll try that tonight and see what comes out...

The profiler.log file seems to lack vital info.

Ah feck, yes it does not work on the JIT version :/

Dunno if it's directly related with the vault, since until now I haven't noticed any slow down or anything in the presence of vaults.
But now I'm in the sixth level of Tol Falas, theres a huge vault (the square one with doble doors up and down), the dialogs are running slow and apparently if I reveal too much of it's surroundings the game freezes.

Ok, I've just tried going some other way, away from the vault. I found an undead pit, full of wights, skeletons and such, I killed them all, and as I was picking up loot the game froze again.
I could just take the stairs down, but now I'm really intrigued. Maybe the World Destroying Sword of Chaos is inside that vault!

Posted: **Sat Nov 06, 2010 2:31 pm**

Well, I had several freezes in level 7th and 8th in Tol Falas, and when I finally reached level 9th there was no Master to be seen. I mapped the complete level and scouted every inch of level.
What can I do? If I leave the level and come after, will he respawn or I should already start thinking about dumping the character?

Any way to make some kind of report or anything so it could help the development of the game?

Posted: **Sat Nov 06, 2010 2:40 pm**

Can you send me the savefile please?

As for the freezes it's probably emperor wights doing that, it's fixed.

Ok try the profiler with that please:

i'm playing a self-compiled linux version of beta 13. i do not encounter this issue. it's just that saving the game and loading the level tends to be very slow. otherwise the game is fast enough.

posting this on the off chance that it may help.

Ok I went to old forest level 2 which contained an untouched Honey Tree clearing and ran the profiler while clearing the monsters and resting...
Now what? I got a 100Mb file which I can't put anywhere...

gzip/zip/wahetever it, it should comrpess very very well
