DAoC more laggy in 1.52?

[Blood]

Im sure the big number of players has something to do with it aswell, but DAMN IM LAGGING BADLY.

I have a 800mhz P3 with 512mb 133mhz ram, and a gf2 gts. And im now getting around 5-10 fps most of the time in normal RvR. Alot less while im standing on the pad.

Are anyone else experiencing very low fps after this patch?


The machine requirements on the packaging says: PIII 450mhz (1Ghz recommended) / 128mb ram (256mb recommended) / 3D accelerated video card (32mb recommended).

Maybe the servers are slower because everyon'es downloading the patch?

:shrug:

 

[old.neenee]

[~Mobius~]

some idiot thinks the shortest way from the netherlands to france is hopping to new york

Intel processor.......no suprises there

 

[Blood]

let me get this straight

this thread isnt about network lag, or bad connections, or even goa's servers lagging, its about client side lag being much worse than before.. or well severly noticable to me now

 

[cHodAX]

Its those horrible new fuking icons drawn by a 7yrs old with crayons that mythic forced on us. The are the devils work and causing all the lag, NERF!!! Gimme my old icons back ya bastards!

 

[old.Charonel]

had no probs pesonally, me thinks someone's fishing for flame material to throw at goa now that they're not able to scream "when the hell's the patch!!!1"

 

[old.0xygen]

the opposite here was surprised how unlaggy I was when in RvR today even on my crappy rig. I LD'd quite a few times today though probably cause of patch etc

 

[old.windforce]

owww that, yes graphics are still sucky and i have the idea the new skins arent makeing it any better

 

[liste]

city/dungeon lag has increased noticably on my low-end Work machine.

At home, i have noticed no change

Athlon 1.8
512mb ram
gForce 4

No noticeable reduction really... except in DF last night when half of bloody Midgard decided to turn up and park their asses right below my alts camping spot... then it was s l oooooooo w.... apart from that its been ok I think.

Windforce I have the EXACT same problem, I'm with UPC aswell. They seem to keep changing it round one day I have 20 ms pings and now they've given me 700ms pings

probably the sounds

No changes on my regular machine (Ofcourse it is a p4 2.52 with a gf4 ti4600, hehe), or on my laptop (Asus L1400 celeron 1133 mhz, 384 mb ram, crappy gfx card).

Sounds to me like it could be a bad patching problem, so I'd suggest you uninstall, install and patch up again.

Remember to save your blood and bloodied file or your UI and shortcuts will be reset to standard.

 

[lakih]

I agree with you Blood, i have had even more lag now then before. Could be (hopefully) the vast amount of players d/l the patch and running around silly, complaining over the great new icons.

And btw... crayons rox

 

[Whoodoo_RD]

Hopefully in about 3 months we get SI anyway, so whinge away till then.

New skins, well, maybe they are part of it.

Perhaps its more likely due to the number of level 50 ppl in emain bowl at the same time. Last night there must have been about 300 hibs / mids / albs there zerging each other with their new stats. Surely processing the map with this many ppl cant be all good!?!

Oh, icons someone said....crayons...5 year olds....well i got a 5 year old neice, and beleive me she could do better with a tar brush and a bucket of emulsion. I WANT GAME PLAY NOT PRETTY FRILLS FFS, I'd buy the sims if thats what i wanted! Stick to improving the damn game and stop playing with your new copy of paint shop pro ffs!

 

[Flimgoblin]

As we all know, it's the icon designers that are in charge of getting the Theurgist class improved, and they spent too long making neon icons.

That's why the pets aren't that much better yet.

It's true!
