At one point i was loging 3 clients at once, no problems no lag, no issues.


Suddenly I'm laging with just 2 clients running. Not sure if it is an issue with the update?


Anyone else notice this or know a fix? I've ran spybot, run a virus scan every night, use a firewall, just got done defraging. PC came up with a clean bill of health.

I think Drakier will have to answer that one. I too am experiencing a lot of lag. Does not seem to mater what plugins I run

you've read that decal3 is still in a beta testing?


you've read that there are issues with the rendering at the moment?


of course if you aren't running decal ignore this.

"At one point i was loging 3 clients at once, no problems no lag, no issues."


was this before or after AC:ToD? Also.. was that before or after Decal? (While Decal was running or not?)

Sort of an FYI...


Since the last server shutdown a couple days ago, I have also been noticing... not necessarily lag but a kind of game hiccup!


So for about 3 hours tonight I did my own testing:


Dual Log, 1st acct. decal running w/ El Tank and Find It!


Standing on a Fountain I was able to watch the water stream stop every 5 to 10 seconds or so and continue to do so.


Dual log 2nd acct. same test... same result!


Both acct.'s in game... more pronounced with slight freezing of screen!


Shut Down both acct.'s


Dual Log 1st acct. no decal running.... same issues present.


Shut Down acct.


Reboot PC


Begin with,


Dual Log 1st acct. no decal running.. same issue present.

Started adjusting video settings and recorded all adjustments and visual/game performance.


The best performance without decal was to have,

High

Bilinear

High

for settings.


All other adjustments made were negligible in performance increase.


Shut Down Acct.


Dual Log w/ Decal w/ Find It! El Tank running.


Same 5 to 10 second stop start of water stream.


I checked with 3 others who conducted similar tests at the same time and all experienced likewise results.


I do not believe it is a decal or plugin issue at all...


I am about 90% sure it is a game issue.


One theory is that there is some new code Turbine is using to check, a. speed hacks b. Game exploits c. Server Integrity


What ever it is, pretty much everyone is experiencing some type of lag since this last patch.


And Yes there are also issues with Decal and some plugins... but as most of us actually read and understand before posting a problem... Decal is still in Alpha!
