Lagging out when AE'ing

[Rummol]

Hi All,

Looking for some tech support to help with in-game video lag. When I PBAE on my bard or do Chardok AE on my wiz I get massive video lag if there are over 40 or so mobs. To be clear, I can still run around, move about, etc., but can't cast any spells and the mobs visually move out of their correct sequence, i.e. when bard PBAE'ing the mobs tend to run off in all directions rather than follow me in a tight bunch.

I play on a laptop I bought back in 2010. It's a Sony laptop with an Intel dual core processor, 8 gig of RAM and good video card for the time. Considering this game was made back in 1999 I would think that the rig I have has the specs to run the game smoothly on any setting regardless of the amount of mobs.

Am I wrong in assuming this?

Or is there a fix I should be using to make the video lag/game run more smoothly, i.e. fix for dual core processors, etc.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
