As the new V3 does not use anymore the dfmod file (as it's back in being quest files), it could mean they're actually running both old V4 and new V3 at the same time, resulting in vastly increased encounters ?
Nope (at least for my test, nope). I made sure to remove the dfmod version before installing the updated quest version.

BTW, before I removed the quest version, I noticed that the game was getting more and more laggy. Specifically when hitting F9 to quick save, it would pause for several seconds before giving me the "Game saved" message. Also, when lining up on BasicRoads and hitting my Follow Paths key, there would be a long pause before my character actually started moving. After rolling back several saves (just before installing the quest version of WA) and reinstalling the dfmod version, the game no longer pauses when saving or travelling on roads. I also noticed that my Shift-Tab quest count was in the thousands after using the quest version of WA for just one round trip. It's back down in the low hundreds after the rollback and using the dfmod version. Does quest count cause longer delays in saving etc? There definitely seems to be a correlation here somewhere, but I have no idea about the causation.

I believe I've figured it out. The cooldowns were being ignored. I'll upload a newer version in a bit.

Tried with the new 3.0.6 update, seem to be getting a few encounters at once when I am near villages/cities, when fast travelling there.

I think it's probably because when you fast-travel the game runs every encounter check that would've naturally happened during the duration of your trip and then spawn all the encouters at once when you exit fast-travel, but I might be wrong.

Sorry that's actually my bad - I misspoke in the comment with images above. By fast-travelling, I meant the fast-forward travel you do in the Travel Options mod :?

I took out the WA00 (or whatever the Wilderness encounters module was called), and the issue disappeared. Of course that's not ideal, as the wilderness encounters thus disappear all together, but I thought it bore mentioning.

Thats strange. The wilderness quest wont run when entering locations and its been tested purely on travel options.

Myeah, not exactly sure what it's about, but in a few cases it's resulted in me circumnavigating a village, having 3 giants spawn, and a priest of Akatosh, with said giant smacking the priest around, giving me a "Begone heathen" and minus rep with said temple :P

Imagine a world where people still use instantaneous fast travel 8-)

"Player controlled" travel is fine for short hops, but I sure dont have the time to sit and watch a horse neck run all the way from Scourg Barrow to Daggerfall every time the Cartographers forget how far it is!

But the further I travel, the more out of place encounters await at the other end, thanks to Warm Ashes. Surprise parties from spriggans, tigers, centaurs, orcs, imps, you name it, all inside my room at the inn while I'm trying to catch some shuteye after my epic journey.

Have now removed Warm Ashes 3.0.6; hope you can find a way to avoid this problem!
