Well i've been playing again for a few week's now and noticed like 50% of the server is still not at 60 FPS a lot of people look laggy specially in big group fights, i get 60 FPS fine but then into group fights it drops to about 50, i know its because i'm on board graphics but just wondering if there was anyway to change something like the ,Lighting/ tiles you use in the settings, like on 2.3 i remember you could turn spell effects off and stuff to make it better for massive fights ( i used to turn off in evilmir to stop the lightning coming down even though it still hit me lol )

Think if there was a way to change something to get everybody hitting the speed cap would bring a lot more fun to the game, that video of koriban in RME just show's you how bad it is for people under the cap he was just walking around them and making them look stupid lol.

You can already turn off a lot of stuff in the options menu (spells/hum effects etc etc). We are looking at performance updates at the moment though.

Its not just FPS.
Mine constantly says that i'm getting 64fps but a lot of people still move much faster than me.
That checking through fraps and using the /check debug screen command, both sit at 64.
Could getting more than the cap be messing me up? so that it occasionally skips a frame as its running too fast?

My friend has this "64 fps" thing but hes one of the fastest ingame and says barely anybody look's fast to him, i think the 64 FPS is down to your monitor ?


Thanks for the reply Samuel hope you sort something mate, way to many people are using laptops which are onboard graphics this is the problem >.<

I have a 26avg ping to www.mirchronicles.com
WTFast slowed me down somehow.

I just don't get why i'm so slow ingame.

What theme are you using ? Samuel in the tweak thread suggest aero is better, i'm using windows classic and feel it run's so much smoother, i'm at 60 cap if not in big fights and feel much better in classic.

Only other thing i could suggest in maybe changing your monitor, JustinBieber at start of server used to be faster if he used a different monitor he had.

Weird though as your at 63 guessing you would be one of the faster people ingame.
