Rovers are freezing up

I use windows 7 with mc 48. I seem to be having an issue where having lot's of rovers will cause them to freeze up and delay on following orders. Another weird thing is that I deleted every single one of them and then made ten new adv builder bots and they still wouldn't go where I told them to go. I checked my task manager and cpu and RAM are fine, so this must be a software glitch or something. Either way, it's hindering my game progress greatly, and now the rovers won't move at all.

When I have multiple differen't types of rovers harvesting and building in the game, they seem to move to a resource node, stay there for five minutes, and then move back and stay at the drop off site for a time. I read where bast said that he put rovers on a differen't thread, but that only means that the only thing that that thread has to manage is rover pathing, which for less that 100 rovers, should work just fine. I probably had a max of 50 rovers on the map before I destroyed them all as a test.

Dunno if this will fix for you. If reload game doesnt work, close and restart the program

Can you give more details about your system perhaps? Here you can see I am moving and ordering building with more than 100 rovers at a time without issue.

Also what are the specifics of your map?

I think that vehicles freeze when u have different buildings (I always do at least 25 of them to few hundreds ( roads at least)) queued and different vehicles buildings them.
Recently it froze a lot when my 800 drones build the hall of Congress (had 2 fps), vehicles had "problems" to move, they even go sometimes inside buildings (visual bug, the same thing happens when vehicles are created).
When everything freeze I just look away, so that they can move out of the screen and watch again to reload and see that they build. If I don't look away they don't move at all and don't build anything

I disabled multithreaded pathfinding (iPhone) and that fix my problem.
