From upset to pissed off

[Son_of_Olympus]

I dont know how to say this, but it seems like NGD is not listening, do you even play the game? i'm starting to like the merge if only i can play without any constant lag, i have complained after the 1.9.3 update, and seems like the lag got worst after the merge. I'm starting to hate the game now. Can you please do something about the constant crashes and lag?? If not, Can you make a statement were you admit that you can't do anything about it so we should know if we can still depend on you and if its worth spending our money in here. Come to think of it when the Lamai goes live at the server. Really people, If you wanna make money make sure its worth it on our part.

/me thinks he raged after a crash

but yh, we 'all' have lag. And ppl from my clan from the russia side have constant crashes
kinda mean coz they had decent ping first.. and are great players

I sometimes have these weird spikes, out of nowhere, and well towns are a no-go zone xD
but ill live with it, either till it gets better, or a game worth my money turns up :)

[isgandarli]

190-200 ping and I'm lagging sometimes ending with crashes (Connection Problem)

[Zas_]

For me, ping didn't change BUT i'm experiencing lag-like issues, temporary freezes, and see many animations problems. It wasn't the case before the merge.

[SirStonr]

My ping has gone to the 700-800 sometime and my fps when i go into the war zone and try and participate they drop to 4-8 which make it impossible for me to play

[Tamui]

Well, I am experiencing lower FPS at all time, laggs, freezes. Anyway, I'd like to ask if this is because of the merge AND if it will change??

P.S. I think a more "friendly title" will cause the MODs to respond instead of ignoring it.

[isgandarli]

That's the hardware problem. Hope NGD will solve it...

[Kitsuni]

About the lag:
The hardware from Raven and Horus was not meant to run a server even half as populated as RA. Each realm has about 60-70 players at peak times now just in the warzone. This issue will likely remain unsolved until NGD or GameSamba invests into a better server with better hardware, similar to what RA and Muspell provide.

About the frame rate:
Remember that there are twice as many players in the game now. You need to lower your settings to half of what they were before.

I hope to others i need to quit what i dont want :(

If only that was possible.. unfortunaly I can't go lower than the minimum of the minimum.

[SirStonr]

well i have the lowest settings possible and apparently the Gc keeps saying its no the server and my laptop is only a year old so all the drivers are up to date. i reinstalled and still have the same damn problem.....Just gonna quit till D3 comes out screw it.

[Kitsuni]

Actually, you can.

Edit game.cfg:

vg_object_body_distance_lod_1 = 20.000000
vg_object_body_distance_lod_2 = 0.000000
vg_object_body_distance_lod_3 = 0.000000
vg_object_body_distance_lod_4 = 0.000000


This permanently reduces all characters to the second level of detail. Unfortunately the first level is too glitchy for up-close viewing.

Do not use safe mode. Use fixed pipeline; safe mode disables speed optimizations for debugging.

[_Kharbon_]

I'm playing on lowest settings too. Since the merge, I experience temporary freezes of character movement, lasting usualy up to few seconds. Then all the characters warp to different place. As a result of this, I can't play any warrior class, and often I get killed just as I run somewhere without seeing any barbs on me...

I blame this on the high player base active all the time. I guess the servers are designed to run with fewer players. If the server maintains its activity, there is a substantial need for hardware upgrade

Also note, that those laggs/freezes aren't visible on fps, neither on ping. Therefore I concluded that they are server-side. Please correct me, if I'm wrong...

Friendly title? lol i tried that before, guess what? still No answer -- believe me i'm still nice this way. I just hate the fact that i spend money to enjoy what i spend it of, not the other way around. For example, you bought wmc 2x thats 4k xim if i'm not mistaken, the boost is wasted when on Fort/Realm wars I lag severely/freeze etc, Wtf are AS for if i get lags anyway? My point here is, If they are doin something about it atleast they should let us know because there are more issues to be taken care of too like How come we still have a seprate xim when we already have one server? things like that and more. Guess what, they spend more time on those new Characters "Lamai" rather than attending to this issue.

I did that-- used fixed pipeline to see if it will help-- it doesnt.

umm using below shader 3 actually puts the load on your cpu while your vid crd does next to nothing great for a laptop. hardly a fix for a anywhere newer hardware computer. I have to aggree the server hardware cannot deliver to the number of folks who are online

Yup, same for me, lag where there was no lag, crashes that i never used to get, crashes so hard it takes my PC out with it....i have to force shutdown ...no other game does that and i am worried about the damage this might be causing to my PC :/

I was reduced to 1 - 2 fps yesterday, so i turned down pretty every single graphic so i could at least move again...but it still lags like crazy...and no i refuse to drop down to fixed pipleine, i have a PC capable of running your game on shader 4, and i have spent money on paint in game, and i want to see the paint....

And as quoted above....we really hope the support we have all given you in the form of Xim purchasing has been worth it on our part....

[Raindance]

There are temporary, and sometimes permanent, freezes the very second my character enters the game world. Don't know if anybody else has this. But it doesn't always happen.

[Dupa_z_Zasady]

IMVHO, lags are effect of aura animations that are buggy, don't expire, causing increased resources consumption. But hey, it was reported many times before. NGD did NOTHING about it.

[EMIN]

After merge my ping remains the same but I lag constantly. Furthermore, some commands have delays ( I don't know why) like when adding a friend it takes 5 mins to do it. Another problem is that when I log in it takes about 2-3 mins to go online ( double time than before merge).
But anyway, we should not only screw NGD. I believe that they did great work and with time those issues will be solved

Well done NGD:wink:

[ieti]

In most active times it is hell. Before merge i played with good FPS in all battles except invasions.

Now only with our zerg i drop to 30-40FPS and on big battle it is constant freezes, lags and slideshow. Even messages in chat are lagging back with 10sec or more.

In less active times around midnight EU time things get relatively better with lags and freezes.

Big thumbs up NGD battles are awesome and alot fun. :thumb:

[Thalak]

Maybe, but shouldn't a game developer make sure, people will enjoy their stay now instead of someday...maybe?

"Hey there's this game with super-awesome mass-pvp. But it freezes and crashes every other second and lags like hell."
"Hey there's this game, no real mass-pvp but quite fun to play. And it runs amazingly stable. No crashes, no freezes, no mentionable lags."

What do you think, which one of those games would be preferred by new players?

[Rising_Cold]

Another problem is that when I log in it takes about 2-3 mins to go online ( double time than before merge).

Dont worry about the time it takes for you to come online.. thats 5min for me normally
{loading screen1-login character-loading screen2}
(even before merge)
I would be surprised if that ever changed xD

I do agree NGD has done some great things and with time they might be able to fix
some problems here. I do hope they fix the right ones ;)

[Gnupis]

Its true there's a lot of lag and it would be nice if ngd focused on fixing that. Personaly though i'm overly happy I'm on a server where I can go to war anytime I log, in large groups that fight seriously instead of farming or getting farmed on the way between the save and the fort. Seriously, Horus can burn. :punk:

[ieti]

For Linux guys here. I was with latest driver 295.40. In nvnews forum there is a thread that this driver have some performance regression. I tried 295.20 now and maybe FPS are more stable.

Not so sure if true i will test day or two.
