Greetings, If you're using 1.60.0, you probably want to upgrade to 1.70.0. The crazy developers made a bunch of changes since the last release, perhaps fixing (and adding) a few bugs along the way.
In the past I've had a problem where a pile of around 10 objects underneath the player would cause the client to lock up while using massive amounts of CPU power. The problem went away when I updated GTK and a bunch of other system libraries. Of course, this is dependent on the system you're running. You might want to try compiling the client and installing it in a temporary root (e.g. /home/your-name/crossfire). Sincerely, Kevin Zheng On Tuesday, September 04, 2012 08:55:31 AM Otto J.
