Title: Lemmini locks up when playing sound.
Post by: namida on September 19, 2013, 02:16:22 PM: Sometimes when a sound is meant to play - especially exit or release rate adjustments - the game freezes for a second or two, then fast forwards up a couple of seconds. This makes it rather difficult to use, of course. xD

Any suggestions on what to do about this?

(Occasionally a very clipped version of the brick "ticks" will play when a Builder is about to finish working, but that's all I've ever heard out of it.)

a) too many tabs and windows open on Chrome / Firefox
b) using programs that demand a lot of power with memory.

Try run Lemmini with your internet connection disabled and make sure it is the only program running. Let me know what the result is.
