    This is an issue which I never had before the last four updates. Each update has raised my latency indicator until I've gone from running at 70 ms to running at 110 ms. I tried deleting temp files and reloading the game-- zero change except for the inevitable freezing and slow map loading that comes with doing that.

    Now in boss fights, my MS climbs until I'm lagging as much as a minute behind the game play. This happens about 80% of the time-- occasionally I can kill the boss with zero lag. It's becoming impossible to play the game this way. I'm fighting blindly.

    My settings are all set to the lowest graphic quality possible, blood effects on (or I can't see Khalys' lasers). Is there anything else I can do? My computer and connection aren't the best out there, but they've worked fine up until now. The more players in the team, the worse the lag. But again, it IS possible to kill once in a while without lag. Then I go back to kill the same boss and end up waiting a minute after the boss is dead (as told by my teammates) for the boss to actually die on my screen.

    Are you on Agathon Server ??
    The lag on this server during the Ghost Festival Event has been horrid
    Every group I have run with during this event either some of the group have lagged or the whole group lags at various times
    Now going back to PW's solo or grouped it is bad as well
    Surprised this has not been mentioned yet in forums
    It is not your end because I have played with people from all over and everyone is having the same issues

    Not what I was hoping to hear-- it means I just have to hope DSO decides to fix things. Yes, Agathon server. Thanks for answering!

    Why need mention? Lag is present in the game since the beginning. It has been mentioned gazillion times.
    The Drakensang Online creators made the game in 7 days.
    On the first day they made the lag .....

    Yes yes true story, played on that server for 2 years with an average ping of 365.
    And in groups of 2 also 365 and in groups of 3 or more? 900ms
    What would this thread be without the person that has constantly complained about lag on agathon for almost 2 years?
    heck I even changed servers to heredur :D
    Only to find out I get that same latency jumps or well similar more like 500ms in groups of 5
    Which is better ofc than 900 and even lagging for so long that you lose drops.
    Thing is though when youre in a guild with a lot of people like I am on heredur, and you have lag when there is 5 people in a group, it kind of sounds like a cheap excuse to not play with certain people.
    It is another one of the many recent factors that contributed to me leaving the game.
    Nevermind that I knew I would never be strong in DSO due to my weapon choice.
    Or the fact that the class I chose was weakened in comparison to the mobs while certain other classes kept getting buffed.
    Nevermind the fact that I took a verbal assualt from a person that considers themselves above the rest in DSO.
    Nah they had to make progress bars insane too.
    Guess what?
    I now play an mmo arpg where there is boss raids with 50 players plus in a boss raid
    the game has a server in eu
    the game is based on unreal engine 3
    AND I DONT LAG IN IT!!!
    Bye bye are my days of agony :D
