::::I'm not sure how CPU cycles and the buffer interact in Vista.  Is your FPS low?  Perhaps a key is dropping out of the buffer but DF isn't recognizing it due to lag?  Or lag might be making the buffer overflow.  It might depend on how autohotkey sends keystrokes, I don't know if it simulates a key press or directly input ssomething into the buffer.  You could try a small sleep(50), or the equivalent, in autohotkey and see if that helps.  Also, make sure it isn't losing focus for some reason due to background programs (although that would be strange) -Gotthard

:::::I think it's a lag issue in DF.  I've yet to figure out exactly what is causing lag for me.  I think it's pathing with too many dwarfs and too complex of a hallway system over too many Z levels.  Also, I think playing very large maps causes me to lag, as well, but I think that's related to the pathing problem and all those other creatures trying to path.  It definitely got better in this version, tho.  I will hold off on trying to say definitively what's up with AuthoHotkey until after the next patch. --[[User:Geofferic|Geofferic]] 03:50, 21 November 2007 (EST)

::::::AHK does tend to do wierd stuff in DF, but most of it is predictable. A lot of wierd errors that make no sense can be fixed by explicitely telling the script to focus on the Dwarf Fortress window, as well as generous Sleep statements. I found while rewalling a 30x30 outline, sleep 100 worked fine for the first two sides but posted about half of the second two. Sleep 150 placed the second two somewhat erraticly. Sleep 200 got the second two just fine. --[[User:Knivesu|Knivesu]] 10:22, 23 December 2007 (EST)
