Game Performance after the last Maintenance

General Discussion Started Last reply 15 posts
Hello everyone,
Ever since the maintenance on 21st. 12 .2011 I've been having terrible problems running the game smoothly. In this post http://boards.lineage2.com/showthread.php?t=225441 they say they've made some improvements to the game performance but actually the game has gotten a lot heavier. I can barely even move around now, whereas before the maintenance I could afford full details when not in a town. I was wondering if anyone else has had the same experience.
I really thought it was my PC only.
I was surprised as well, it worked the other way just fine, but then in Aden I noticed that it's gotten much slower. I'm not sure when this started exactly, but reseting my PC didn't help either and I haven't installed anything in the past few days.
There is definitley something going on with the game as even for me things have slowed down. I have also noticed several odd things happening, like my skills not **** damage and the monster that I used to be able to 2 or 3 shot are now taking forever to kill.

This seemed to happen right after the server crashed yesterday morning. Ever since it came back up things have been laggy and just not working as well as before.

NCWest, I would suggest a reboot of all the servers as these odd problems are very annoying; three of my friends noticed the same things and they all live is different states.

I did not have these problems two days ago; it's horribile now.

About the mob damage... had a clannie say last night that she had to re-enable her SS.. it looked like it was still enabled, but it wasn't. Try that.

It had nothing to do with SS not showing as enabled, I know how they work and it was not that. Besides, two others told me they were having the same issues and nothing they tried helped.

I always check how much damage I am doing and it was normal with SS enabled, problem is mobs seemed to be twice as strong as before. I think NCsoft messed something up with the last maintenance as one of the things they did was fix something with the SS having some issues; maybe they made it worse. :)
The issues since the last maintenance, for me, are making it hard to play the game right now.

Stuttering performance, unresponsive characters, spells not working no matter how many times I use them, etc.

I just logged out because I know my toons will die if I go out levelling.

A
not sure what's going on, but at least I stopped crashing every two hours
So is there no way of turning back those "game performance improvements" for us who didn't really get the desired results?
Lately I've noticed that I can barely move in Aden, the game got so slow. Also even after standing quite some minutes there, I notice that a considerable amount of players (mostly shops) remain invisible (I can only see them when I randomly click around and get them targeted)!
And I assure you it wasn't like this before, I could move around perfectly smooth in Aden just a few days ago and the whole population of the city loaded in matter of seconds.

Also a friend of mine in game reported to have same issues lately.
To me it's just way harder to load private stores.
This may or may not be related, but I noticed that the old removed quests show up again in the map/world info quest tab.

Has nothing to do with your client, there are more people logged into the servers now so you are experiencing another kind of slowdown. Network lag and sluggish server response time can manifest itself visually in the L2 client because of the way the game is written.

It was fine before when there were 6k people online. Now even with much less (early in the morning) it gets slow. And it's not latency, the game just gets lower fps in Aden than before.
Could it be the event and all the items left on the ground?
It's unfortunate that of all the game improvements they could make... adding the Large Address Aware function isn't one they did :(

In open areas it works fine for me, even in the very crowded ones.
I mostly noticed these fps drops in cities lately, especially in Aden.
And seriously, I've got a very decent PC (maybe not what you consider high-end, but it's still rather good for L2), includes an SSD too, so I don't see any reason why towns should be so bad.
