In DFU, I frequently see NPCs suddenly popping out of nowhere while walking in towns or villages, whereas this is not the case in classic. Maybe a check should be added to ensure NPCs spawn at a reasonable distance from the player and especially outside his current view frustum.

That check already exists, and it operates most of the time. You're only noticing it when it doesn't.

Not sure why it's not working 100% of the time. Could be some kind of latency. I'll drill into more when I can, it's just not a priority right now.

Yes of course, sorry I just looked very quickly at the code and did not notice the check. Actually I did not dig further as it is out of my current understanding of DFU codebase

All good, it's still definitely a bug.

I don't have an IDE at hand, but I think that's https://github.com/Interkarma/daggerfal ... er.cs#L280

Is there a lot of overhead in just spawning all the townsfolk at once the moment the player is in the city or in sight of it? They're not 3d models, so why is the code trying so hard to conditionally show them?

I submitted a PR

Should be fixed in 0.7.120
