3. Isolated-VM not executing code during slowdown?

Isolated-VM not executing code during slowdown?


  • Shard 2 was experiencing some issues this afternoon taking well over 10s to execute each tick. During this time I noticed that a few of the creeps my neighbor has been consistently sending at me were not dying in the same space as usual, so I peeked back through my room history to see how he had snuck around my defenses.

    As it turns out, I had no defenses. In fact, I had no code executing AT ALL. My CPU usage was at 0, my console was devoid of errors, and enemy creeps were still moving around in my room.

    I decided to switch back to Shared-VM from the new Isolated-VM runtime on a whim, and BAM, my room was up and running again.
