Does it create less lag when you have 2 copys of the TOA folder, so you load 1 from X and 1 from Y? Just wodnering, atm i have 512ddr ram, and its vertually impossbile to run when sticked up. Ive tried putting clt alt del priotiry to low etc, but then its constant screen frezze on 1 or other of the accounts.. I will shortly be upgrading to 1gig ddr, will this solve my problem etc?

tnx

turn of all precache if your trying to load up two accounts as well although tbh get yourself another stick of 512 meg of ram will solve a lot of your issues.

As for loading lag if you had two copies of toa running on two separate hard disk drives it might speed things up although i havnt tried and cant be bothered to try :)

1gb mem will solve it. You still cannot stick classes to eachother tho. Ow, 768mb will already solve it too, with other games it decreases lag indeed (when running twice from another folder), but doesn't seem to decrease with DAoC.

Right click my computer and goto "Properties", click the "Advanced tab". Click "Settings" under performance.
Advanced tab again and change the Processor Scheduling to "Background Services" and hit apply you will now keep stick on both accounts whilst running 2 acc's on same PC.

When not doing this just change it back to Programs.

Hope this helps ;)

i run daoc in windowed mode with both accounts running one staggered over the other it means i can click on a window and hit an insta or chain heal or nuke although i understand running in windowed mode rapes system resources badly and might not be recomended :)

but still beats /alt tabbing between accounts ;)

hmm.. i always had it windowed when dual logging... (can't dual log now, after toa tho - might be my OS ;<) so in full screen it's better? ;o

I tried that once, it was OK at first but once any other other proggie (virus scanner or w/e) ran anything at all it would get full priority and cause DAOC to completely freeze, and go LD if it took long enough :(

I can stick but its crappy with low prio thing

The background process thing is worthless for me

I run 2.66 gh P-4
1024 Mb of 333 mhz DDR ram
Gfx Ati radeon 9700 pro

Comp emptied and formatted so its maxed

Any tips? ;E
