Maybe its me, maybe its my network, maybe i just never noticed till now.... But any where i go i Lag so hard... i hit server line and takes me 3 - 4 mins to come out of it
I dont run a commadore64 niether for those who say its my pc
I run on dsl not dial up as well for those who say its my connection
Just wondering if im the only one dealing with this new type of choppy play style and couple min freeze.
It's been a bit laggy for me. Not unplayable, but mildly annoying. I have been running two clients too. I imagine that it would be much better if I only had one up.
I've always had some issues with loading since I run on minimal RAM, but my loading lag is extremely severe in CT1. Even running on minimal graphics doesn't do much to alleviate the problem. I hope that more RAM will fix this, or perhaps a new video card. There's certainly nothing wrong with my internet connection, and the computer is decent otherwise.
The lag is getting pretty awful. I would agree the memory for the client could be part of it, except pretty much everyone is feeling these lag-quakes on the server and it's sucking away our joy!
I hope NC can invest in some server tuning / upgrades or can work out for us very specifically what settings we can use to allow people (particularly using older machines) to keep playing. Some of my clannies are nearing the point of having to stop because they can't see anything going on in play.
I have had one of my clients run for 24hours a day (play when I am awake and shop while I am afk or sleeping) and it's still running strong.
The only thing I have noticed is that it requires alot more RAM now than what it used to use.
Same here no problems on both systems just more ram which is fine for my laptop it has 2 gigs but my Main system will need an upgrade soon it's only have 1.2 gigs. (Rambuss cost a lot :() When I upgrade that I'm having my honey just get me a new system :)
It's extremely laggy when I port to towns.
It looks like the bandwidth used by a player is capped server-side at some ridiculously low level, like 6 KB/s or something; so, it takes minutes before every player and every npc is loaded.
It makes no sense having a fast connection yet being forced to exchange data with the server at 6 KB/s. :mad:
My system still copes with it but I have noticed (love my G15 Display) that since CT1 using 2 clients uses considerably more RAM than interlude... and now when I try to port toons from both clients at the same time both DC (simple enough to fix by porting one at a time! :P) Also i can only run one client at a time in fortress sieges (considerably less ppl than some past castle sieges where I've had 2 running)
well im going to add another 2GB RAM in over Xmas see if that solves the Issue :)

It should but I'm thinking you need to like me step up to Core 2 Duo
My brand new laptop (mind you not top of the line gaming computer..but not bad) used to run c5 just fine..now I can't play it on there :( My desktop is fine..but no more L2 in bed! <sobs>
I too have noticed that when running 2 clients, it eats up A LOT of my memory and the longer I'm playing the more memory it is using... way to go NCSoft.

tHEY INTRODUCED THE LAG TO KEEP MULTIPLE CLIENTS FROM BEING LOADED PURE , SIMPLE.
tHEY NEVER EVER LISTEN TO SCREWED UP NERFS THEY HAVE FORCED ON US.
THEY NEVER DO THE RIGHT THING EVER.
THEY CAITER TO THE FORIEGN OWNERS OVER SEAS
AMERICANS ARE LIKE THE DISLIKED STEP CHILD.
THIS IS THE ONLY GAME I PLAYED WHERE YOUR (YOU THE PAYING CUSTOMER ) ARE WORSE THAN IN LAWS.
GOOD GAME NC SOFT , I HAVE TOP OF LINE SYSTEMS YET I CRASH WHEN PORTING 1 FING CLIENT. FIX THE GAME YOU HAVE HAD OVER A WEEK. DO ANOTHER FAKE SERVER UPDATE LIKE YOU DO WHEN U BAN HAMMER THER GM'S BOTS LMAO LOSERS
TISK TISK IM SO HARSE THE OTHER PROBLEM IS WE DONT BAND TOGETHER TO GET RESULTS WE POST 1 TIME THEN ACCEPT IT. BS WE ARE PAYING CUSTOMERS MAKE THEM FIX THIS HORRID LAG. BY THE WAY IF YOU HAVE 79 EVA SAINT DO PR YOUR PARTY IT CRASHES YOUR WHOLE SYSTEM THEN YOUR REALLY SCREWED.

That's a very angry statement you have made there, i think someone needs a holiday ^_^
I have to disagree with your first point however, i have always believed NCsoft have promoted the idea of owning multiple accounts:
and why wouldn't they? It brings them more munny, and we ALL know how much NC likes their munny ^_^
Secondly i disagree that NC cater for foreigners only... i am from the UK (yet play on NA servers) and the lag, system errors, poor customer service and appalling support affect us in the same way as they do you.
But i agree, yes we are 'paying' customers and yes, we do deserve better but hey! That's NC for ya
I find in Interlude going with a lower frame size improved performance. CT1 is just the opposite, it lagged my pc to crap. Oddly, increasing frame size to where it almost covers the entire screen improved performance.
Well, CT1 is hella anti-box with the stress the client puts your comp thru.
Oh yes of course! I totally agree with that! It's just that i had to disagree with the point phantasm made about NC gimping boxing out of spite, it just seems highly illogical.
But yes, they are certainly not going the right way about it if the current situation is anything to go by (T_T)

Dont forget Europe - we're a pretty big place/customer base too...

not really someone told me they don't even have to start the game that the program just connects to the server and automates without even runnng the game. or just run 1 process of the game and that's it for the whole bot train.
I have a Quad Core cpu, with 2G of ram and yeah .. it's taking quite a bit longer to load things on a 2 box setup. Lag is a issue in towns it seems, as I pan out on camera angles and such.. hmmm ..
I wonder if the 64bit clients with 4G+ of ram are having the same issues. Ive been thinking of scooping that up.

I have 64 Bit OS, the fastest CPU currently available to desktops and 8 Gb of very fast memory and the darn thing still lags. (client lag, not connection lag)
Was going to build new comp anyways soon ( making a thread for suggestions in the tech place) But just wanted to ask if i screwed up my network.
The boxing thing is horrid and i would check lower detail box but ive checked that a couple times and ran into a couple groups of ketra head shamans and friends and didnt even know it ( i like seeing where things are at)
Figured maybe theyll do something on tuesday during maintenance..... guess assuming does what it says .. makes an [censored] out of u n me
I have a 2.8GHz Duo Core, 2GB of RAM, Nvidia 7600 GeForce video card, with high-speed cable internet and I am receiving serious lag where in Interlude I received none! I am consistently lagging in places I never previously lagged before.
Changing the frame rate, resolution, game graphics quality, etc has made no difference. And my internet provider has not had any problems in service recently. This all started when CT1 came out, and became even more apparent after the most recent patch.
I am convinced this is an NCSOFT problem. I bet they have overloaded their servers with so much content the servers cannot keep up with the demands.
IMO the dense mobs and new graphics (ie Kamael fingers) in the new areas are eating up connection for ppl in those areas, leaving less connection to go around for everyone else = lag for everyone, everywhere!
Thats my 2 cents, I certainly hope they fix this, its ruining my gaming experience.
I can play fine (as I said in my first post in the thread, it's a bit laggy when i box) - but when I have the game running in the background (one or two clients, same result) my browser is slooooowww. Currently using IE when I have shops up - forget about firefox :'(
Ok just updating to see if this helps any one else
I went and got 1 gig more ram ( had 1 gig so now i total 2)
dunno if this helped but did it anyways Found my motherboard updates at asus.com and updated it
Went to ATI and updated my graphics card ( this acctually screwed things up... had to restore)
I overclocked only 10% more in the bios
After all those things i logged on had 2 clients up, ventrilo, and was streaming radio stations from i tunes.
I had some lag but not even close to what i was getting before.
Might be coincidental with some other factors like its was later in the evening, havent seen to many automated ppl latley on our server ( they are there just not as many ).
*edit* oh and in game i changed npc limit to average, terrain limit to average and basically average across the bord no reflections etc.
