    Not my pc, modem or isp, it functions fine. The game keeps freezing upon entry of a new map usually about the time I encounter the first group of monsters. Once past that point the game seems to run fine. Getting very tired of dying and costing me silver and adderment. This has been occuring for a couple of weeks now.
     
  2. I'm assuming that you play the game via a browser. The game downloads some files the first time you enter a given map. These files contain the graphics of the monsters, among other things. If you want to avoid this, you can use the client. When you open the client, it begins to predownload all the game files. It may take a while, but it should help alleviate your "first time in" lag. And if you do already use the client, but are not letting it preload files, then it would behave just like the browser version.

    One bit of advice on the practical side, if you are entering a map for the very first time, move slow and then, if things need to load, you shouldn't be caught by surprise as easily.

    I do use the client and the lag is not always occurring when I first enter the map, but is more often than not. I learned long ago to finish letting the map load before attempting game play. While I appreciate the response and input I am experienced enough with gaming to know when it is my hardware, isp speeds, isp issues or something else. I started having issues after the update before last and saw a note from BP indicating issues with their isp, not sure if one has anything to do with the other. I am not trying to get myself booted or flagged on the forum, but I have attempted to submit tickets to tech support in the past with mixed results, one favorable and 2 no responses. I was once a BA for a now defunct BP game, so I am familiar with how they handle things sometimes. Sorry for the rant, but I get frustrated when I have to either start a map from the beginning or spend game currency to maintain progress when I do not believe it involves my equipment or screwing up on my own.
     
  4. Do you let the preload finish before loggin in? That could make a significant difference.

    Having a major tough time today, too much lag
    Have a good internet speed (1.5 mbps) and playing on client. Every three steps I take on the map and am thrown back by two.

    Game is completely preloaded. Dont know whats going wrong here :/

    I let the client fully load before signing on and allow the maps plenty of time before advancing. I was in a wilderness map for 5 minutes before the game froze for about 45 seconds. You can guess the end result.
     
  7. What about other traffic (particularly uploads) that might be interfering with your connection? Personally, I've had problems in the past where if someone was uploading a picture on my network, it would lag like crazy. The only way I was able to even detect this was by having a real time traffic analyzer on my router that let me see when different kinds of traffic spiked and from whom.

    No Network, no other users on my internet and just had the game freeze for the last time. Game froze in the middle of a map again. Tell BP to send a newsletter out when they get it fixed. I am not wasting anymore of my time or money until then.

    Hey there @el_banndito ,

    Could you please tell us which is your server and where is this happening? All maps? Just some of them? Tell us a bit more to send it as a report.

    Thank-you.
    Cheers,

    I play mainly Heredeur and it occurs on all maps, urban, wilderness and dungeons. It use to occur during the first encounter of monsters and if you survived it, the rest of the map would be fine. Now it is more of a question of how often.

    Hey there @el_banndito ,

    I also play on Heredur and I am not facing any problem related with lag. I asked around to some moderators and it seems that they are not experiecing lag.

    Could you plase try this? Let us know your results ;)

    My friend, I was experiencing the same problem, and after a quite long period of occasional lags and "frozen" maps enters, I discovered that the blame was put on my GPU....I changed it, and problem solved. I would also suggest that using a medium or low graphic analysis would also help your situation, otherwise, check your GPU temperature, clean thorougly your pc's tower internal and the GPU/CPU fans....if the problem still exists, then....just change to a better GPU.
