FH lagging randomly?
« on: July 27, 2011, 01:43:44 am »
Alright, so when I started FH just now, it was lagging. Not un-playable lagging, just lagging enough to make it irritating. I turned view distance all the way down (Did nothing) Turned water reflection off (Did nothing), switched my rendering subsystem to OpenGL (Made it insanely laggy- I changed back though), and changed video mode, but it's still laggy. I did read everything in http://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=3388.0 but it didn't help. Is there anything I could do without having to update my graphics card? FH hasn't lagged at all before, so I don't know what to do.

EDIT: Someone can lock this now. The lag's gone.

It's been doing that  a lot for me too lately. It's probably because there's a lot of people playing. I dunno what could fix it though .__.

Ah. Well, it's nice to know I'm not the only one~ Guess we just have to wait for it to... Well, stop being laggy, I guess. XD

Maybe it's the new howl/roar action from the recent patch?

If it stops lagging inside a private and empty map it might be it.

You can turn down the visual options, go into options and turn off the water reflection, drag view distance down, lower the music/effects volume... It all helps but honestly the roar/howl stuff just makes me lag horribly. :T When I go into a private map or one that doesn't have many people/custom objects, I'm just fine.
