Does anyone else notice lower FPS after the event update? I mean very low FPS compared to before.
My system isn't the best in the world, but before the update(s) I was getting good FPS with the graphic on medium setting. And now with I get very low FPS even with the graphic settings set to the lowest. So when I'm in town, it feels like I'm lagging very badly, even though there's nothing wrong with my connection, which is cable by the way.
I was just wondering if anybody else is experiencing this?

its not you or your graphics card or your connection. Its the servers. they get crowded way too much. too many bots and stuff. plus they have been some changes on the graphics but nothing major that can give you lag like that.

it may be the new screen resolutions...they where part of the new update.
try changing your screen resolution around.

btw how do i get it to show my fps?

Oh thank god im no the only one with the very low fps.
I get like 1-2fps in town, and while i lvl (when im all alone) my graphics are still laggy. Yes before the update my graphics were fluent (on low settings). But now its horrible.

Newer drivers dont help either. Well all we can do is w8 till a new patch, maybe that will fix it .

(My pc: amd 2000+ geforce 4 mx 440 384ram // but still before update fps was normal)

On my other better pc the fps is normal. Servers dont have nothing to do with it.

I have everything (except no shadows) on on highest quality, and everything works perfect...
But im getting alot of lagg (click on pots, nothing, click again, nothing, again, nothing, dead!!!) 3 times in 15 mins

then if thats the case...i would say that its your internet connection.

i lag on lowest settings in town

i dont lag with everything turned on when training

is fps frame per second?
if not what is it?
i know im lagging alot near town but outside its fine even betetr since event was over

i miss those drops

FPS is frame per second yes. and that has to do with your graphics card.

you dont get a lot of fps lag when you are out training because theres not a lot of things out there that require processing powers from the server and your system.

when you are in town tho, the server has to process a lot of stuff and send huge ammount of data to your machine so your graphics card can render them. This is what causes you lag. your graphics card can handle enough but it cant handle huge ammount of data like that all in one place.

in reality its you that has the problem, but this problem of yours is caused by the server sending out huge info to your machine due to the high volume of people in the server.

with a system like amd2000 and a mx420, etc... you are going to lag.


you need a faster processor, more memory, and a better video card...



when i had a ..... blazing fast computer that i was working on at my house, it ran the game PERFECTLY with absolutely no lag at all, not even in dw running round the thousands of stalls...

so... buy a better computer before you get upset about the patch screwin it up.

thanks. -psych

its just the sever and how many ppl are on it cause i get 30 FPS during the day and at night when there are less ppl on i get 60 FPS

Various solutions...

1. Condensed air, clean the dust outta your comp.

2. Turn off Bloom.

3. Get a new video card.

1. Does that everyday.

2. Done that.

3. I already meet system requirements. SRO did something to the coding or whatever. They screwed something up. Actually, they screwed up a lot of things, like equipment parts not flowing with the wind.

Before and after the update it has run the same for me, no issues here. My specs are:

A64 @ 2.5GHz, 2GB RAM, 7800GT OC, 860GB HDD space (5 HDD's)

Game runs great for me, town lags a little but it always has, cause of all the shops and people there at the same time.
