lag fix?

[Crunch]

newer i5
12 GB DDR3 (no pagefile)
9800 GTX

35ms to ATL without much wavering - little to no packet loss


Things tried:

Stump hack (Hz demise client art files)
Gaming proxy
UOS tile fields
CE / FPS (individually and combined - tested both ways)


Certain players are faster than I am (can run right past me), despite living overseas or no closer to the server than me. I don't have issues in other games. I have been told by an opposing guild that I'm easy to catch. Most of the issue arises when there are other players on screen.

Also the despise island I can't even play on anymore when there are a bunch of people. The game is literally at 1 FPS when this happens while some players are seemingly unaffected.

What am I missing???? Are there some client settings that may make a difference like house caching or anything?

please confirm do you mean 9800 or do you mean 980?

Big difference in graphics card there.

UO can run on a toaster of a PC though. Do you have frame skipping enabled in UO options / use -releasemem in UOA?

PM me or ICQ 279035506 if you want and I can provide some more ideas.

I've never had that happen to me. You might not have packet loss, but maybe you are maxing out your upload/download bandwidth? Go to a EM event and see how laggy you are. You can also more easily test and try things at an event than fighting in Despise.

Despise island has been that way for a few months, Crunch. It doesn't happen in other dungeons with champ spawns or T2A.

I didn't forget about this thread, just haven't been on much to play around with it. Thanks for your responses everyone. It's a 9800 GTX btw - best card of its era. Having some luck with running windows classic theme.

What do you guys set your house caching to?
