| Summary | 0013424: Extreme lag spikes when magma crabs fight | ||||
| Description | Whenever a magma crab that has weaseled its way into my fort starts a fight, my FPS drop significantly. FPS drop to/below 1 frame per second at times. I have to wait for my dwarfs to kill the magma crab, which takes a while at that frame rate, rendering the game basically unplayable for multiple minutes. I have noticed that my frame rate crashes down mostly when the crabs spit globs of liquid basalt and the projectile flies through the air. Sometimes my FPS recover shortly before the crab is killed, maybe because the magma crab doesn't spit globs anymore? | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Have a magma crab fight (apparently maybe more precisely spit a glob of liquid basalt) | ||||
| Additional Information | My population is above 200. Last incident was at 219 pop, other incidents were below that. FPS normally are at ~ 95 to 100 with no issues. Other combats do not cause any lag issues. The world was created in a version before 53.09. I do not know what version though. | ||||
