I'm not sure when it started, but I've noticed periodic skipping/freezing of the entire screen in Dream Seeker. It appears to occur every x seconds, where x varies depending on the FPS setting. It's more frequent and noticeable at higher FPS. Some kind of server update process perhaps?
10 fps - not noticeable
20 fps - slightly noticeable, once every 8 sec or so
30 fps - noticeable, once every 5-6 sec
60 fps - noticeable, once every 3 sec
It occurs both within my own project and within a test project newly created. Neither have any looping procs or anything called beyond a verb to make the player walk north or south. I just place the mob and make it walk and watch the screen.
Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
1) Start dream seeker
2) have character walk() and nothing else going on in the server
3) observe screen
