Anyone else lagging?

Some towns are still almost completely unnavigable for me.

In Henesy if I go to the very right or very left of the screen the lag lessens enough for me to get more than 1 frame every 10 seconds.

I can also report that town lag is town-specific now and not just everywhere. Leafre, Orbis and Mu Lung are fine but Edelstein still provides one of my computers more than it can handle. I didn't test any others though.

I disagree. For me, it's any town where I have to be within 2 screens of Gaga. If I am on the very edge of Heny, I can get control back. I can usually make it through orbis and Magatia. But, NLC, Ellinia, Perion, Kerning, Nautlius, Lith... all of them cause me to slow down to nearly nothing. If I am real patient, I can get out of those towns in roughly 12-15 minutes by working through the lag. (Yes, 12-15 MINUTES just to get out of town.)

This happens on any PC I have with 2G of memory. My 4G+ memory PCs (with a decent video card) can do generally fine.

And just a note, when the holiday decorations were removed from the towns, I got a little bit of improvement in some towns (such as Pantheon). It doesn't get super heavy lag as quickly. However, I have to stay on the right side of Pantheon to avoid lag.

For some reason, Channel 1 at Crockies gives me lag spikes that last at least three seconds.

This never used to happen but then again, I haven't set foot in LHC in months till the Tempest classes came out.

I DC randomly at times and it's really annoying. The lag is something I'm used to, since I've been playing from Europe for years...the DCing not so much....

Is anyone just randomly dcing at Empress..? My guilds best members will just randomly dc for no reason. No message either. Just poof. Yesterday at Empress our whole party just went poof as well.

That is probably your group being map crashed.

From inside Empress?

I have no idea how the map crash works, so I wouldn't doubt the possibility.

Stupid hackers..welp there goes our Emp's for a while

Your whole group was DC hacked, simple as that.

I swear this patch made town lag 100x worse. My DB is literally stuck in El Nath because my client will simply freeze until I close it. Guess I'm sticking to world tour maps for a while.

EDIT: Nvm it's not town lag, it lags everywhere. It's just like the patch where everything was at 10 fps. Also why does the game not require admin privelages to launch anymore?

Just a sort of PSA for people here:

If you are running Windows 7 32 bit, try switching to 64 bit and see if it helps at all. Recently a friend of mine had terrible, horrid lag that made the game unplayable since tempest started. After some research he decided to see if Windows 64 helped, lo and behold his lag was completely gone and now plays fine.

IDK if this will fix all problems, I doubt it will, but give it a try if you are able.

My game no longer lags, because if it freezes up for more than a second and I press any key while it's thinking, it quits to desktop with no error message. lole.

Town lag is extreamly horrible. Especially in El Nath, i was stuck there for almost an hour before managed to get out. And i also lag if im attacking more than 1 monster at a time. Bosses are fine but if it's more than 1 in the map, game completely freezes until i stop attacking or monsters die. Sometimes the lag ends and i find myself dead. Running the game with XP so might be that. Was playing perfect before tempest tho.

It only happens when I'm near a Luminous or in a 2x event.
To me, that is.

my friend's symptoms were the exact same. are you on 32 bit or 64 bit windows?

The only time I lag is during the heads of HT. And thats connection lag. Once I get to the body, its goes away.

I've been getting random lag spikes recently; some of them disconnecting me.

This seems to happen anywhere at any random time; normally I play perfectly with no lag at all. Basically what happens is I could be walking around/bossing/afking/doing nothing with no lag and then I'd suddenly have a huge lag spike and I'd either recover or disconnect; my screen doesn't freeze but everything stops and moves in place and skill buffs won't register. I'm pretty sure the lag is coming from the servers themselves, seeing as everything else I run is perfectly fine.

Another odd thing though is that I seem to disconnect while fighting Pierre for some reason; there's no lag or any warning, the client just closes instantly.

I take that statement back.
I'm lagging like crazy now.
Its all connection or server lag too.
