Problems and their possible solutions
Hi! I'll share with you a brief text to clarify some of the most common doubts you may have:
Crashes There are several possible causes for crashes, for instance:
This error causes the disconnection of all players and the possibility of data loss of the last moments of each game sessions (commonly causes the loss of the last earned experience points). This information is lost because the server doesn't close tidily (it directly explodes and can't do anything more) and because of this can't save the last information to the database. NGD has the procedures to analyze and fix this cases and, I don't know if anyone noticed, but the server crashes tend to be more weird each new time. The most common symptom of the server crashing is that the server/gameplay ping shoots to the sky and leaves the player standing still without a chance to move, fight, chat, etc, until the disconnection dialog appears. It mustn't be confused with this the occasional connectivity problems that cause a massive disconnection. Massive disconnection without the server crashing In certain occasions at some point, the Internet's infrastructure has an inconvenience and a group of users ceases to have access to the servers (this happened in christmas, for example). If the problem is located in the datacenter where the servers are running, ALL players get disconnected, despite the server is still working, without users. In this case there is no data loss for anyone, just an iterruption of whathever it is you were doing. Lag LAG is an excessive delay between sending a message from the client and the answer of the server. It can have many causes, for instance:
Low FPS Low FPS (miscalled as LAG by most users) are due to the PC in which Regnum is being run, being it unable to process and render a scene in an acceptable speed. It can be caused by:

+1 Most of us have been here and seen the progress as it has happened.
Good luck with the lag crash reductions! |

Indeed, very nice post, but what about memory leaks ?
When I start RO, it consumes average 550 MB of memory and is constantly growing. Few hours after, it consumes 1.3GB and usually crashes near 1.4GB :/

A memory leak is a programming error :P We are tracking those too.

Nice post.
As for network lags, having torrents downloading with a hundreds of connections to each torrent while playing is devastating for your gameplay. So even if you limit the speed of your torrent downloads, you're likely to get high ping with lag spikes. Direct downloads usually are no problems even if you max out your connection.

Position bug is nasty when it happens, but it seems significantly better most of the time now.
The most annoying issue now is that difference in duration, any combo requiring some timing to work is just futile. Its rather boring not knowing if a lvl 4 knock down will last 7 seconds or 5. In extreme cases i seen knocks last 30 seconds and that happens in relatively good conditions otherwise, if duration is x4 shouldnt also attack speed be effected in similar way? Also the duration/cooldown ratio, how is it possible that duration is shorter than the cooldown 20/30 on 30/30 spell? How can just duration be effected by server overload? It makes no sense to me. |

Why not plan a monthly server check or something? It brings the server down for a couple of hours a month but prolly the crashes will get less? |

i have FPS drops when i'm on my horse or in battle.
It's annoying realy cause when i'm riding my horse it freezes (FPS pike) then teleports me to an older position and my char stops (this happens a lot and is extremely annoying). I played in safe mode so idk what else i can do, normally both the computer and the internet should be able to handle RO even on full detail (cause i tested this comp on a different internet and the internet with a different computer.) Any idea's? ty

But I can play RO with about 30 fps. As long as the game is running, I'll be fine |
