Um.. I don't think vista sp2 is out.
It helps a little. It's not gonna be as good as xp though. Also, before running maple, close things you don't need via task manager.
Despite that computer lag wasn't it -- I could move perfectly fine with the net lag in place, i did try that. I realised, too, that web-browsing is affected -- now that i know what's really going on. I also noticed this lag in another game I played -- (one that required more resource than maple. That game ran laglessly except with the similar sudden freeze issue where you hit a key and the server registers that the command was issued but you do not see the game react till x seconds later.
And your days of playing maple in high picture quality are over. Maple sucks on all laptops in general too.
Mostly due to the keyboard, imo. My cousin's laptop ran maple perfectly fine. Though, hers is tons older. High picture quality or low, it didn't matter: I tried that on my zrun on tuesday. I could probably walk right into zakum a ton of times and then find myself dead on the alter 60 seconds later. It was also that same zrun that I'd tested shutting off all unnecessary processes.

Anyway, I ran the ping tests (using yoorah's nexon ip from the other thread) to compare ethernet connection and wireless connection. Wireless will experience near consistant spikes and general failures. Ethernet connection shows spikes but none of the general failures.
Right now, I'm too exhausted to find out how to turn off WLAN autoconfig so that it doesnt unreasonably look for a new connection too many times per 1 minute. >.> The best part is I dont think this works. I know WLAN Optimizer doesn't. I dont really think its guna make much of a difference if I used Vista-Anti-Lag either.
Suddenly, going through the trouble of completely eradicating vista, then slipstreaming my drivers into an xp cd doesnt seem like a bad idea at all. Still, I'd like to find a way to solve this without reverting to xp. -- suggestions?
