Grrrr Frustration...

[legolas]

Anyone else with this probelm...

I logg into Daoc, enter the game and the graphics are smooth a great. There is very LITTLE differance from the graphics when I play with the GUI to when I press the TAB button and there is no GUI. (Graphics User Interface).

[Spec: 2.2 Celeron, Geforce4 440 MX, 256mb ram, 80gig HDD, 56k modem]

I play for about 30mins and notice that my fps (frames per second) are slowly decreasing. The longer I play the worse this gets... I press TAB to see how smooth it runs without the GUI and its Flawless, Perfect... why is the GUI slowly eating all my video memory?

I have to relog every hour if I want to be able to see the animations during battles.

I've got the recent Nvida drivers, and I don't have SI, can anyone explain whats happening or a possible solution?

Thanks, LOVE YOU ALL

classic daoc is what russia was to the US a while ago, a bottomless hole for money/ram.

More ram would be good, especially if you're running WinXP (if you're running ME, dump it asap imho). DDR is cheap now (at least in Holland it is atm) ( ;

Didnt Mythic do a sort of fix for this a few patches ago?

Something like /vidreset or /memoryreset or something

SI is a better client in my opinion, a bit more stable but I've found performance wise the classic client suits me better.

So.. unless I'm crafting and I need access to my spreadsheets or need to go to SI zones, it's classic client for me.

/vidreset
Also the problem doesn't seem to occur with the SI client, just classic.

Get SI mate. If nothing else, it makes the water look really nice!
