Adventure mode gets very slow

[Ark]

I've approached some fort and character movement has got very slow all of a sudden, like 15sec per step... Is that a known issue or something wrong on my side?

Things got slow for me, but my character is constantly dealing with weight issues. I am gonna start over.

Down to 1.5min per step %|
Some tower with ~150 "eye of night" creatures.
I guess some areas are just unplayable :(

FPS just sits at 1(1)

They are trying to exit the tower through a narrow opening and there's a long list of them in the same tile that goes off screen...

I notice the longer i play in that mode. the slower the whole game gets until it becomes unresponsive to any clicks. I think there's a memory issue with adventure mode that slowly builds up and slows the game down to snail pace.

Game completely freezes on exit on linux , near tomb full of undead creatures. A game completely locking you out of linux is pretty bad. They need to have a windowed mode or something, so you can open a console and kill steam at least, if needed. Or even better, start from scratch with multithreading, since most people have 6 or 8 cores these days. no reason to bring single thread to it's knees when you got 5 more cores doing nothing.

It's the same for me

I have a few dwarf fortresses that are a nightmare in slowdown. They are full of friendly gobbos. Tons of them at the trade station, but also tons in the above ground tavern and in a downstair passage.
They keep pushing each others, falling, wounding them, which enrage them, then they calm down.

make sure your worlds are not needlessly large (theres no cross-continental/island interaction yet)

make sure your forts are not extreme embark sizes (too large and even pathfinding simply breaks, 3x3 is plenty and larger should be for some specific purpose)

I play on one giant ocean-surrounded continent on Small (65x65) sized worlds, and they are plenty large enough. I stopped experiencing the 'slowdowns' you guys are referring to long ago when I got better at worldgen

I thought they would have fixed this by now. Not worth playing adventure mode if you'll eventually have this happen.

It seems to me that this is because there is a necromancer in the fort and hordes of zombies come out of there and come towards me, and if I kill them, they resurrect. There are a lot of them. I think that the game slows down because of them.
