Moving while no one else is

[thephantomposter]

<p>I am curious to what this is, I was out pvping when I would experience a time freeze.</p><p>Everyone was frozen but me, I could run up to them but not attack. People would move a bit and freeze again. Is that lag? I have experienced choppyness before but nothing like this.</p><p>So my question is, what is this?</p>

<p>You are experiencing lag. Your local client looks like you are moving, but you're not communicating realtime with the server. From an outside observer's perspective, a laggy person appears to "warp" from one place to another as the server gets updated client data about location.</p><p>One good way to help this is to tweak your graphics for the best performance for your system.

<p>A lot of people report that Aero slows their system performance, because it takes graphical resources to do the fancy-schmancy glass effect that Aero gives you. Google for "turn off vista aero" and see what the people have tos ay.</p>

<p>Thanks, luckily that has only happened once. Will check those links out anyways. Any performance boost is nice.</p><p>I have seen some people jumping around like that, always wondered what was happening, guess I will not automatically think they are hacking from now on. :0)</p>

<p>Aero takes up a lot of ram for the "pretty" effects.  Change your theme to Windows Classic and see if that helps.</p>

<p>While the suggestions in this thread will help with your general performance, it sounds like you experienced a temporary network issue.  I doubt it even had anything to do with your computer.  It was probably a temporary issue with your ISP or even our servers.  Let us know if it happens again so that we can look into it further, but I doubt it will.</p>
