I'm guessing from this that you use the custom Duxa UI. Out of curiosity, does the issue still occur with the default UI?

(I didn't see any red flags in your logs, but I noticed some UI file loading logs ... which could be perfectly normal ... but it made me curious about UI skins.
I actually don't. I use the default UI.

In the last few hours I also had my boyfriend install the game and sure enough, the lag spike happened after he toggled combat as well. He's not on the same network either so it isn't that.

Well that rules that out.

I've been testing though and it seems like this issue occurs on both my laptop and desktop on two completely fresh installs. So either I'm very unlucky or it's a server issue.
I think you're getting to the heart of it. Either its an issue that affects everyone, or ... well, instead of "luck", maybe it's the fact that all three machines share a common source?

Did you copy an existing folder, or did you use the Titanium disks to install those three machines? If it was the former, there could be something (eg. a big log file ... although you ruled that particular possibility out) in that folder you're copying that is responsible, and you could test by comparing to a clean Titanium install.

I think I've figured it out!

It seems like the midis are causing it. I had deleted the combattheme.mp3 files so I could hear the originals, however when I did a step by step reinstall that was the step where lag started occuring. Which I suppose makes sense since toggling combat was what caused the lag. It's unfortunate I can't use the originals without this issue, but I'm much happier to not have the lag.

I've only tested for a small period though so hopefully the issues are gone completely. Thanks for the help everyone!
