Lots of lag

**Enraya** · 08-11-2008, 03:44 AM

100 apparently also varies too LOL. 100 where I live right now is decent, but 100 in Canada is super. Lag-free 100% XD

I can usually run with 54 Mbps on my other laptop though (which broke down and I lost all 7k of my screenshots -headdesk-). It's laggy sometimes, but not as bad as this @_@

Yeah, I can run with something lower than that actually... it might actually help to post at the official forums. But the bad thing about when I did it last time was that it was dismissed as "you can't run online games on wireless" - Fiesta_Help.

So much for technical support. Worth giving a shot though... cause it *might* be their servers.

It might be Vista. I just bought a new laptop on Wednesday August 6 and Fiesta works fine on wireless on that laptop but my Vista makes it exit out of Fiesta if I am on for over 15 minutes then it freezes and crashes. All I have is my Microsoft Office 2003 and my itunes and songs. Scanned no viruses. It might be your vista like my vista is the problem for my error. I ran Fiesta on my old laptop with 54mbps and it runs perfectly fine except when I go to town or when my brother downloads.

The thing is that Vista takes up a heck of a lot of RAM or whatever it is that it takes up.

If you're running on Windows Vista Aero, change it to Vista basics and see if the games runs any better. Also, if you have the sidebar out, exit out of it as well...

Hmmmmmmmmmmm I see.............. Thank you I did have the sidebar out so maybe that's why.

Thanks for the sidebar advice.
I guess it's also map lag as well; I don't lag as much in Eld as I do in Dark Passage I or Abyss, surprisingly. Yesterday I lagged hell in Eld and was fine in Dark Passage and Abyss XD

Maps definitely has something to do with the lag. For me I'm fine in dungeons (-holds on to abyss/trumpy remains-) but I can't handle CP or AEW for some reason...

the network thing:
it looks like what you were talking about is your network speed. 54Mbps is G i think. that won't matter as long as what's being transfered to your computer over the network doesn't require something faster than that. fiesta doesn't so that's ok.

but if it's a bad connection the speed shown can still be the same but it'll still cause lag and you can get dced a lot.

the 100Mbps is either wireless N or ethernet i think.

you say the problem is waves of lag with about 2 seconds in between where the screen moves. if the screen is frozen then that's graphic. if by nothing moving you just mean people not moving and stuff but you cna still see (for example) shrooms swaying or you cna walk then that's your connection most likely.

if it's the first thing and you know your video card and everything is high enough to run fiesta then try making sure your drivers are up to date and everything.

Its probably just the connection. I have wireless on my good computer and when i tried running most of my games, I would experience a like a 2 second lag in which the screen would pause then fast forward to catch up to normal game speed. There shouldnt be anything wrong with your computer, just that any game no matter what the reqs, shouldn't be played under wireless conditions. There will always be lag with wireless. When I switched back to using my ethernet cable, all my games ran perfectly smooth. With wireless (54mbs) I had a ping of about 60, but when I switched back to ethernet (100mbs), my ping dropped down to around 20.
