That helped a lot. Thanks. Christina ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeremy Kaldobsky" <jer...@kaldobsky.com> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2011 11:48 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Castaways: Message Pile-up
When multiple messages are generated on a single tick, you are presented with the first one and the next is put on a back log list which will be picked from on the next tick. To give an example, if on the exact same tick you had 10 people die, it will require the game to run for at least 10 ticks before you finally see the last death message. I say at least, because other messages could also have been piling up before the people died to begin with. When you have such a monstrous population, there is going to be a huge back log of messages since there are so many people doing things. One solution is to disable as many message types as you can do without, and the other solution is to pause the game often and press the guave/tilde (~) key to pull the next back logged message out to be read. > Hi. > I'm trying a different strategy this time when I'm playing > Mission Three of Castaways.
