Lag in melee
« on: January 05, 2010, 01:00:51 PM »
My new computer seems to be running great, except for when I engage in melee, occasionally I will skip as if the server is going down, then everything will catch up.  It is even worse if I play Vicho, and start casting spells.  It isn't my video card, or processor since my FPS never slows down at all.  The only thing I can think of is it might be a conflict with my ethernet.

I've got verizon Fios so it isn't my service either.

Thoughts?

I don't think this might be a local(yours only) problem. I believe the server has been a bit laggy every once in a while. I've been seeing people warping around, and sometimes I type something and it has this annoying delay. It's true my ISP has been failing me a lot, but I normally keep a prompt window forever pinging my gateway and a random website, it has been stable, and this lag even happened during 4am when Never lags a tad bit here.

Somebody check if it's a server-side thing please.

Frog, I also have a gateway and i get the a incessent error message from windows and plus my internet takes me to random websites esp. through search engines. However, I sometimes lag in NWN its nothing too unbearable. I know your FPS doesnt change but fool around with the video settings and see if something works out Aldarris.

Pray to the computer Gods! o.O I think they live in Silicon Valley

Shanka108, that sounds more like a DNS problem. My settings are manual so I know who is my DNS server, which is the same as my gateway. Perhaps if your DNS server is set to automatic...there might be some weird conflict going on.

perhaps the server was just in need of a reset.

Smaggot fixed me.  I had to turn my V-sync off...now I'm lag free.
