Ok was playing daoc fine today in toa client as normal no problems.
Log out for a bit to watch some tv, come back to computer (which was left on all the time as useual),
when i log in daoc all my ingame text has a lagged effect - but not the 3d animation of the game. For example if i run around and stuff its ok, but if i type in the game at my normal type speed what used to happen is that the characters appear instantly - now what happens is that each character takes like ~3 seconds to appear so if i type a big sentence im waiting ages before i can press enter as it slowly moves thru each char. Also after ive typed a bit the whole game makes my computer become REALLY laggy, like if i try to click to mirc it takes like ~30 sec to swap over (useually instant since i run daoc windowed), within that 30 sec i can still see the 3d animation of the game running fine. Also sometimes my mouse will just freeze when running daoc and then suddenly move again - same with key presses such as holding shift down to move a UI window, let go of shift and it takes like 3-4 sec before the window stops moving with my cursor.
Im running a 2.4 ghz athlon, 1 gig of ddr ram @ 400 mhz, geforce 4 4600ti 128 meg - never had any problems with lag like this even when running two TOA clients at once !!
makes the game totally unplayable, any ideas as to what might be causing it?
