Massive slowdown in Daikara

#1 Post by bricks »

In Daikara 3 spawned the snow giant village. Every few steps I take, the game lags horrifically, and it didn't seem to be tied to any given action (particle effects, text, I tried playing with most of the graphics settings). When I opened the main building in the snow giant village, I noticed that nearly every snow giant was blinded. Apparently they have been just standing around and spamming their sun infusions, which I think was causing the slowdown. I'm attempting to clear it out right now, I'll update if the lag stops.

Edit: Yes, that seemed to stop it.
Sorry about all the parentheses (sometimes I like to clarify things).

With the reaver I was trying out yesterday, I suddenly got hit with heinous lag when I entered the trapped! dungeon. Lots of rogues using sun infusion maybe? I got a save if someone wants it but not sure if it works anymore.. tried reloading after running an errand and it "locked up" on loading. Not sure if that was bad save or rain screwing with the authentication process or something.
Having satellite internet is a lot like relying on the processes described in those RFC's for your internet. Except, instead of needing to worry about statues interrupting your connection, this time you worry about the weather. I have satellite internet. Fun, no?

I got a slowdown in the Trapped! quest, too. It stopped when I had to backtrack and found a bunch of enemies that had been following me just outside my vision range.

possible reasons for this:
* Tactical AI spam. The game calculates an action for every npc, this can take a few seconds each turn causing 'lag'. For some reason monsters in vaults can be 'awake' taking actions.
* Particle errors. Possible workaround is saving and exit and reload the game.

I'm experiencing a similar issue (30b). I'm in the Old Forest (2), and since I just recently started playing (awesome game by the way) I'm not sure what I'm seeing (also, sorry if this is spoily); it looks like the area is dominated by a castle surrounded by water, and it seems shortly after entering the area I start getting massive lag each third step or so. It lags for upwards of ten seconds between turns (again, every third turn or so). This might have something to do with what's inside the "castle", but I don't know for certain as I haven't made it in yet to find out.

Also, saving, exiting and restarting does nothing to alleviate this, but I can confirm that heading to Old Forest (1) or (3) does not have this issue.

I don't know what else to provide to help sort out this bug; just ask, and I'll try.

I got the same thing in Daikara, with snow giant camps on two separate levels. I'm going with Tactical AI spam, and the only thing that resolved it was patiently clearing the camp. Take a step, wait 10 to 20 seconds, take another step...

Here's a snippet from the log, constantly repeating:

Fixed, well spotted it was indeed blindness!
