Hello

I had this effect once in Oja. Im not sure if it was an one time thing or if I just only fought once with magic in Oja.... Anyway, it was likely that the spells caused the came to become unplayable after minutes (after running fine before).
NVidia on Linux here and I load no sound modules.

Sen

#EDIT# Just tested, no lag with melee in Oja at least...

ok, after reading Arerano's post closely.  I had sound disabled from the computer not pssettings.  I did what you told me and seems my lag issue is fixed Arerano.  The true test will be the arena, i am heading there now!  Phaat is excited at the possibility his nightmare is over!

This is not specific to Mac, I experienced this recently when I went AFK and a rogue started attacking me at some point while I was away. I had to relog to make the game usable again. I run Linux 64-bit. I was under the impression that there was already a tracker ticket for this...

ok, i just killed Dlayos for 2 hours with magic, no lag.  Turning of sound in pssetup seems to have curried my problem.  Thank you for all help in this matter, and your speedy replies.

 \\o// \\o// YAY!! I am so happy that your lag problem is fixed Phaat! Glad to have you back attacking again  :thumbup: I was just wondering, what does turning off the sound in the pssetup have to do with lag? I did turn mine off, just to see, I don't usually have my sound on anyways.

Thank you Caarrie,  :D it is tough to find what you need to when you are new to using forums.
