| Summary | 0002751: Macros are very slow, and stops working when window loses focus |
| Description | When I play my macros, they are awfully slow (about 2 actions per seconds).
But if I reload a fresh game and play the macro, it's faster (about 15 actions per seconds).
My Init.txt is configured for 15ms, which should give about 60 actions per seconds.
Also, if for some reason the window loses focus, the macro stops working (while PLAY is still blinking, but nothing happens anymore).
Finally, I didn't find how to stop a macro playing ? |

|
I'm not sure about the speed issues, but they could be due to the fact that multiple interface keys are bound to the same physical key. For example, a macro recorded by pressing "d" will contain several keys, only one of which will be simulated every 15ms during macro playback. However, the window focus issue is definitely reproducible in v0.40.24. |

A related issue is that some fraction of actions will be lost during playback. If you record a macro for something like 'walk west x 20 walk east x 20' your dwarf will not always arrive back at the spot it started at. |

ptb_ptb: That is not the same thing as this issue. If you can reliably reproduce it, you should open a new report. |
