EXTREME lag

[Karistina]

Already reported in bugtracker. Looking for fellow sufferers and possible fixes.

After the last update, I tried loading the game. It loads. But I see a new frame on the screen perhaps once every 15 seconds or so. Player killing tefusang #1 will be killing tefusang #2 by the time a new frame loads, and tef #1 will either show up as dead on the ground or possibly already have disappeared to respawn.

Windows like my buddy list also take 10+ seconds to show up after I click on them.

If I had quit the game last any closer to a tefusang, I\'d be dead before I\'d even know I was being attacked.

The game is unplayable for me at this point. Anyone having similar problems?

This is new though. I\'ve had lag before, but not where I couldn\'t move at all. And I did check the bugtracker... I wasn\'t able to find any reports of still frames and inability to move like I\'m experiencing.  I thought perhaps the newest update might have caused this issue only for WinXP users or something, as I can see that not every other player is having the same problem.

Edit: I did wait to report this when it happened to me last night immediately after running the updater.  I tried loading the game twice last night with the same results.  I thought it might be a temporary thing, or maybe I forgot to close down one of the other programs running on my system.  But when the exact same thing happened this morning, it occured to me that it was not a temporary thing, and pinging the server did not provide a plausible explanation.

Edit 2: Only way out was to /spawn. I did try running back to the arena from Hydlaa, but as soon as I started running up the steps, it got slower and slower... so I turned around and headed back.  It would be nice to be able to fight in the arena again.  Right now I\'m stuck with the Oja road and the texture that still doesn\'t load...
