Running faster then the rest of the group

[[NO]Magmatic]

Has anyone else had problems where they run slightly faster then the rest of the group?

For some reason, and I think its since my new PC, I run slightly faster then the rest of the people in my group. This wouldnt be a problem, except that I lead the group. Currently we solve this problem by letting everyone in the group sprint, except me. If we dont, every 30s or so I will be out of /stick range of my group.

Someone told me it could be caused by overclocking your PC. However, if overclocking your PC makes you run faster then the group, then my internal clock would show similar problems. As all programs / games / etc (like daoc) should (in theory) be sync'd using that clock (it runs at speeds independant of the cpu-speed). And my system clock would show the same 'problem' and run ahead of my other pc. (and their perfectly sync'd)

Anyways, I would like to know if someone has (or is) experiencing the same problem, or perhaps someone at GOA knows what could cause it ?

My system:
P4 3.2E
MSI 875P Neo-FISR (PCB 2.0) with D.O.T. (Dynamic Overclocking Technology) enabled
1Gb DDR-Ram
ATI 9800XT

Edit: I do not overclock my system, except having enabled D.O.T. in my bios.

Because you're character is smaller and more aerodynamic? :X

Ok, back to work I go.

had the same, i guess its cus of lag

Are you running up hills? I notice that the groupleader goes faster uphills and the /sticked ones goes slower for some reason.

It always happens, when swimming, when running on flat surface, when running uphill, downhill, side-hills, etc

Its really annoying... Our groups 'designed' to run at sprint + speed 3 or 4... Bringing it close to 5... But due to this feature/bug/whatever, we're forced to run at speed 3 or 4 without sprint, or let someone else lead...

Would be nice to have this fixed tbh, I'm gonna try to run with that D.O.T. feature disabled tonight, see if that helps... It would suck though, as my computer runs completely stable with it turned on...

Yeah, I noticed it too, but I thought that it may have been because I was the one running speed.

Have you rightsometime this?

I'd make GOA aware of the problem before you get suspended for speed hacking.

GL getting it sorted.

They had the same problem in WoW recently with certain p4 processors. Was fixed in a patch a couple days ago i think, so yes its probably something to do with your processor and NF. Ive noticed it with some other people as well so your not alone in this. As Civy said you should rightnow it so that GOA is at least made aware of the problem, or maybe they know and it will be fixed in 1.71 etc.

Had the same when i was a pac healer

Group was always saying i was haxxing because i was running faster

No idea what it is though
