Is this for real?

How are people even raiding atm? 35ish people in zone and both my partner and I are rendered useless trying to duo in permafrost. We're talking a minute or so to cast spells even.. This is disheartening after finally convincing a friend to try a different zone with me. I hope Vox is at least up at this point so maybe sometime soon we can invite more people.

But yea, are all raids like this? Does SolB become useless when nagafen is about to spawn?

There's an issue with Perma, it has nothing to do with the raid.

I guess that's refreshing yet unfortunate since we wanted to play in Perma. At least there's hope for the other zones.

ive heard bringing your refresh rate down to 40-60 can help ease client side latency in places like solA and perma.

these 2 zones seem to be infamous for massive client delay. atleast its what i experience in sola, not sure if this change fixed it or not, im too scared to go back.

I just went to Permafrost to see if I could experience this lag. Everything seems okay for me. No delay time for refresh of spells, etc.

This is running wineq 2.0 with framerate limited to 40fps.

Yea after speaking with someone there my friend found out about lowering the frame rate option and he says everything is fine now...wish we knew about that before we died haha

One thing I always do to help framerate in certain cluttered zones is /hidecorpse all.

It makes East Commons Tunnel actually bearable.

What are all the commands for /hidecorpse? /hidecorpse all, on, off?

liveitup1216 · #9 08-07-2010, 07:24 PM

/hidecorpse all, looted, and none

all is all but your own, looted hides corpses after you loot them (so not player corpses), and then none shows all corpses

and the FPS thing seems to be the issue, by default its set at max (100) which for some reason causes massive client lag (ie takes MINUTES to cast a spell, while mobs pound away on you in realtime.)

Is there a way to limit framerate without introducing another application (this winEQ thing)?
