character is stuttering/lagging..but enviroment around me is smooth.

[Winter12345]

<p>Hey all,</p> <p>For some reason since the recent update I've oddly noticed only one of my characters to stutter and lag a bit while he runs and gathers/mines. However everything else around me is completely fine, and is going quite smooth but when I move my character he runs normally but then jerks like a lag strike and then after a few seconds does it again. He even does the same thing while mining, everything is smooth as i turn my screen around but i notice my character keeps lagging as he mines, jerking a bit as if he was in 3fps, but again, everything around me is running at 35fps.</p> <p>Can someone plzz tell me what is wrong? Someone said he had the same problem and told me to look under texture in options and all of my settings are on high, i switched my character texture to maximum but same thing keeps happening. I tried turning everything on extremely low graphics but it does the same thing, right now I'm running on balanced.</p> <p>Plz reply and ty =)</p> <p>-Quicke</p>

<p>I just found out that this is now happening with all of my characters! =( plz someone help me! This is getting really annoying, I log on for like 30 min and everything is fine including my character's movements but then randomnly starts jerking and acting like 2fps, I still can't find a solution.</p><p>This also has started happening since the last update</p>

<p>Then a lot of people's computers have a problem, since I've seen a lot of people commenting about having the same issue (and I've noticed it myself since the Hallowe'en stuff went live, and on Test with it as well).  But yes, best to rule out individual computer issues first.</p>

<p>Nice ty for the posts guys,</p><p>Can someone tell me how to post my dxdiag/msinfo? haven't done it in quite awhile.</p><p>If many other people are finding the same issue then that cheers me up a bit, because i swear that before the last update everything was fine, however this is still continuing tho =/.</p><p>Ty again plz keep posting.</p>

<p>I am also having the same problem since the last update. It happens on mine and my wifes computers. Before the update, the game was great but now seems to drop FPS to 2-3 for about 1-2 minutes app every 30 minutes or so. Location and amount of surrounding graphics seem to have no bearing as it happens in town, caves, running thru deserted areas or while fighting. I can also run thru heavy graphic areas without problems other times. Maybe I nee to try cutting off my duel core support tomorrow aand see what happens.</p><p>This is what both our computers are... 1.83GHz Int Core 2 Duo T5500, 17.0" diag wide TruBrite TFT LCD, 2048MB PC2-5300 DDR2 SDRAM, 250GB SATA HD, DVD +/-R DL drve, supp 11 form, Intel Wirelss WiFi Link 4965AGN,  NVIDIA GeForce 8700M GT, 1080i signal-, 5.1 surrnd sound-supprt, harman kardon speak, web cam, mic</p>

Yup, I am having the same problem, so it must not be the clients. It stopped when I put it into windowed mode, which was weird. they must have broken something.

I'm guessing not full screen?</p><p> Anyways I'm guessing all of you guys are having the same problem? character is randomnly stuttering/lagging like 3fps after some time? This apparently is also happening not only while I run or harvest, but even while i tradeskill. Casting spells and fighting sometimes go like 4fps but again, everything around me is like 35-50fps.</p><p>Hopefully this is just part of the last update's issues, plz keep posting, and ty.</p>

<p>I had this problem as well and updateing my driver fixed it.  My video card is a nvidia geforce 8800GTS.</p>

[Winter12345]

<p>Hmm lol well my graphics card is pretty old, still in 6000+ series, but why would it be having problems now as before everything was running perfect even with my old graphics card. Though I'm guessing I'll have to update the driver. Any other comments are accepted =)</p>
