everybody lags... It doesn\'t really matter how powerful your machine is.. I don\'t think there\'s much to do right now, other than wating for the next improvement.

Keep in mind this is a pre-aplha tech demo...

i don\'t lag because i have a massive amount of ram.  this game just eats it untill the next version comes out.

SiS is probably a big contributor for you.

I used to lag and now hardly at all.  All I did was set the compatability mode for psclient (in Windows XP) to Windows 2000.  The newbie guide tells you to set it to Windows 98/ME but that will not work well.  

I am now lag free and fell through a HUGE hole and into a large cavern where I am now stuck **cough**spawn**cough**

your comp is too slow or the graphics card is old

Dude don\'t worry about it, it doesn\'t matter how good your pc is it won\'t help at all with the lag but i think the devs are workin on it for the next version

You didn\'t even read his post, did you. A 2.8GB processor is by no means slow.

I\'ve seen you do this two times now and I just feel the urge to correct you now.

2.8Ghz not GB.
