Lag

The lag is horrendous

I cannot cast spells but the mob still attack and yet another death.

Chat seems lag free but the combat not?

It's a server thing, your ping will always be a little high. That's because it's a beta and they're testing the server architecture.

If your FPS's are low, try disabling effects. I don't really know but it also seems to lower your ping.

Changing from opengl to directx seems to have improved things a lot.

Thanks for the help

Hello everyone,

As we stated a couple of weeks ago, we are working full time on the server optimizations. Recently we solved a lot of problems related to memory that we leading the server to an inevitable crash after a while.

This has been solved but now, some optimizations still need to be made in order for the server to be able to answer any action request (movement, cast a spell, interact with an npc) without delays. What you are experimenting it's known as "server lag" and it's usually related to slow hardware and ir our case, non optimized software.

Regards
