I cant possibly figure out what is wrong.

Is it graphic or internet/server "delay"?

Is it graphic or internet/server "delay"?

Basically It's potting, monsters, skills, ccing, and changing maps. and buying things and takling to NPC's. Basically everything.

So it's internet/server delay. Hmmm... Do other games lag? Or browsing the internet? Or is it solely maple?

The latter, then. I think Jon was just differentiating the kind of lag that makes your FPS go down, and the kind of lag where your client still runs smoothly, but server-sided stuff takes a long time.

Well, there's also input lag, where your character behaves as if there's a second delay between pressing keys and anything happening. But it sounds like a connection problem.

Post your ping result on pingtest.net

If that seems good, then it's the nexon servers (or the distance to them). If not, then it's your connection.

I had a similar problem. Look to see if you're uploading anything through torrents... I only had 2 running and it caused major problems with lag.

May steam be the problem?

Check your Router's host settings, make sure it's not trying to host on an IP that's not on the network.

There's only 2, Mine and my Dad's.

Check in your videocard driver settings something called:

"Max Pre-rendered Frames"

It should have a value of 1~3, depending on the speed of your video card / CPU. 1= Fast PC's, 2= Medium PC's, 3= Slow PC's

Rendering more frames ahead will make the game more "smooth" but creates "lag", because you're seeing images from the past.

Any value more then 3 will create more input lag, because the videocard will render more then 3 frames ahead before it allows you to change the input!

Also, make sure you have:
- V-Sync ENABLED (if you use a flatscreen monitor)
- Tripple Buffering DISABLED (after Big Bang this isn't needed anymore for maple)

Actually Tri-Buffering is a recommended ON setting for many games and messing with pre-rendered frames can actually create graphical problems like tearing and frame skipping.

3 Frames is the default setting for most graphics cards, leave it alone.
Tri-Buffering uses the default 3 buffers to create a series of frames swapped per second. Modern PC hardware runs fast enough for you to even notice this. It actually can help the graphics run smoother and faster in cases.

I would look at System Services you have running that can be Disabled or set to Manual usage. One service is very problematic... Hard Drive Search Indexing. Turn it off and you'll have less wasted resources so the system runs mainly for what you have. Try also using a lighter weight anti-virus like Microsoft Security Essentials or Avast Home, if you have one that uses a lot of resources just for scanning. There are tons of things you can do just on the system to save resources.

Also check your internet connection. Switch from using connect on demand to always connected for how your router works. Read up on how you can optimize your local network even at home as well. Often it can be simply using better cabling like CAT5e or better.

Look also into seeing if you have any unwanted software running on your PC. Viruses and malware cause PCs to run slowly. Scan your system and see if there is anything causing problems.

I know what the problem is now.
