Walling off Plateu locks up game v0.39

Installed wall and gate. Opened gate. went to finish wall blocking off the plateu my buildings are on and the game locks up. Have retried about a dozen times. The only time it does not lock up is if there is space to get around the end of the wall.

When the game locks up i have to use task manager to end the program (its listed as not responding), so it doesn't create a crash file. I have also just tried to put up a gate and small walled in area but the moment i finish build mode and have not left an open place to get in it locks up. Too the best of my knowledge it looks like it is calculating pathing and locking up while doing that.

Just an update: Tried again and let my PC just sit there. The game was locked up for around 4 minutes before i could play again.

I created an enclosed compound made from 1 gate and about 15 wall segments. I managed to create this freeze you were talking about. Not sure how long it lasted - at least 30 seconds [i walked away from my PC and forgot about it, so it could have been up to 20 minutes].

It does sound like some kind of pathing issue. i don't know if it makes a difference as to which way the gate is facing

if it helps any, I've noticed some odd pathing issues when placing walls, such as my troops walking through them anyway at certain angles ( not enemy npcs)

however stranger still is when I place my gate random non-hostile npcs will attack them when closed/locked (like weapons traders).....

which needs some looking into
