Unusual Lag Experienced

Many players, myself included, are experiencing unusual lag today.

I've never lagged on this game before.

Is something going on server-side?

i agree since yesterday the lag has been getting worse. i normally play 4 chars in tabbed windows using firefox, with no problems.

but now even when i am playing only 1 char there is a bad lag. also the AT time seems to be going down faster that normal. maybe because of the lag.

i switched to IE and crashed 1st fight and i didn't even get all 3 chars into same square.

well i only experience lag once or twice a day on my char for a few seconds at a time so nothing that bothers me and i only play 1 char

I normally don't experience lag, but I am today

It's not lag, per se, but I'm having serious framerate issues with just one instance of the game open.

Me too... It is almost un-playable. Have not experienced it this bad before...
Going to check back n a while....

It's important to distinguish between framerate issue and lag issues. As camli stated you appear to be talking about framerate which is something that I've been fooling around with a lot lately... java applets aren't really meant for such a strenuous interface that takes up so much memory and the flushing procedure may not be working quite right. Are you guys getting any flushing messages DURING the lag or only before it or none at all?

I'm getting flushing messages like Flushing......Mem: 3560064 ImgData: 3665408

i see a flushing message every 2-5mins in average but i hardly ever experience lag and mostly it only lags when many are on and chatting for me for a few mins a day

Sorry, those messages weren't occurring before today.

I got some of them last night and am getting them again now...

[doctor-warlord]

ive seen flushing messages for a long time but only in the past 2 days they started coming often though sometimes they cause map not to work

I am getting a"Click to regain applet focus" message come up every so often - mainly when switching between characters.. Though running three is very choppy and eats my AT at the moment.....

[Flashus]

sometimes i got the flushing memory when i was playing 4 chars. close applet.

now i sometimes get the same as davina Flushing......Mem: 3560064 ImgData: 3665408

but most of the time nothing shows up.

i have only really had this problem since your optizimation update. v0.632

now when clicking i have to hold the mouse button down longer for it to register.

i agreed with you. i'll check again tomorrow.

Still no better... Also takes an age to engage/use gems... Worse when 3 chars are in combat.. Try again in the morning I suppose...! Flushing......Mem:8919528 ImgData7595867!!!!

There's a definite problem with the current client. It will be fixed today.

Thanks for looking at it Jeff.

Cheers... Back in the morning!!
