Ressource Leak - Minas Tirith (siege mode)

**YassirX** · December 30, 2012, 05:39 AM

It seems like the custom map has some kind of ressource leak, it is a rare occasion but it does happen. My GPU goes on 100% load (560GTX) and I get a diashow (~1fps). This altought happens on other custom maps, but it normally does go away after a few seconds (~5 seconds)... at Minas Tirith this bug does sometimes not dissapear and I am forced to restart the battle. It can happen in the first minute of the siege or anytime during the siege. I really do not know what toggles this behaviour, but I'm pretty sure that something inside of the mod is toggling it, as I never have problems with any other game.

Has anybody expierenced this aswell?
Maybe its driver or gpu specific.

I don't think the problem here is in the mod and game. I've never heared of this problem before at least.

This problem used to happen in the first version of weathertop but it was fixed. I sieged and defended MT quite some times and I did not have this kind of problem.

I was able to re-create the problem several times, it is caused by the AI Siege towers. The Units get stuck in the tower and are unable to enter the wall, because of this the AI stacks all their units under the siege tower and the bug is caused by the fact that all those units are not able to enter the siege tower (as it is allready on full load)... they are stuck around it. The bug dissapears as soon as the gate opens or the stucked-units are rooted.

The frame decrease is equivalent to the amount of units that are stuck... so basically if more than about 4-5 unit-cards are stuck the frames drop to about 1fps (or even less).
...its definatly a bug in the game. It is not caused by my computer.

I've read that the fact that minas tirith only has a single gate causes weird AI behaviour and I think that this could be the cause.
