Mir has always been a game that has played well on below par PC's, however it seems with these files its the complete opposite. Im struggling to play at times becoz it feels like im constantly overweight. Anyone else get this? Or am i the only one experiencing it? I have tried everything my side (Adware removers/Antivirus/Defragging/Making sure my pc runs at optimal speed). I can log on any other heroes server / 2.3 / 2.6 mir server and be my happy normal speed, yet log on here and im running like a spastic.
'Sluggish' feel to these files

I don't know any 'spastics' that run like their bag is overweight but the files are super sluggish on my poor old PC 
To the point I can't play them and I'm not gonna upgrade just for mir. And like you Im fine on all other files and also mir 3 ones.
Don't know if its the lighting system or what?

Yeh I get it as well. Very sluggish. When I run in a straight line alongside someone, they are always skipping ahead of me - Ive yet to run at the same speed as someone else. Some people are taking 4 steps to my 2, which means Id never be able to PVP them - infact I think id be pretty useless against most people in a PVP atm, which is a shame as it had always been one of my strong points. Getting away from black maggots is nigh on impossible lol.
Ive got an Acer Aspire 5535 laptop - not exactly designed for gaming, but only about 5 years old and never had a problem running mir. I logged on P69 last night to see whether it was my net connection, but I was speedy on there.
Its a shame as I do really like the server, but I wouldnt upgrade my laptop for a private server as you never know when it could get taken down (even though this one seems pretty steady and will hopefully be around a while).

Unfortunately due to the nature of these files using newer DirectX and having the lighting system etc, they are significantly more resource intensive than other file sets. The only way for you to counter this would be to upgrade I imagine, maybe try a game booster?
Though it would be nice if they could add more graphical options, like turning the lighting system off and using old style, then it would likely run better on your systems too.

i had this issue on my laptop with pentium cpu sis mirage 3 gfx 2 gig ram, but on desktop (i7, 8gb ram, gtx 560ti) have no problem so im guessing its a hardware issue. unfortunately i dont have anything in between those specs to test it on. maybe devs should start a thread asking for ppls dxdiags and how well it works on said machine. this way they can try put together a recomended system spec for this game. but tbh i like it this way all the xp tweekers with acpi n all that garbage dont have an advantage over me anymore.

Surely Vista is a problem for everything? lol, my dig at vista aside, I am curious to know if this really is an OS issue. I might install XP/Vista on a VM and give it ago.

im pretty sure where my laptops concerned its hardware, when i mentioned it before in some other thread i was told this as i was getting double vision on mobs etc.
Its the OS try upgrading to win 7, I tested this on my desktop and laptop when ever I use XP I lagg like **** but soon as I boot using win 7 it runs fine.
