To be honest with you if you haven't found a way to fix it, there probably isn't any quick or cheap fix at this point. I have been living with fps lag for over 4 years and that's probably why I only log on once a week. It really takes you out of spars/events/ or even just playing around with friends. I have to play graal with 700x700 resolution fullscreen and no text for me to be even close to anyone elses speed, but I hope you find a way.

Now's your chance to contribute to the lag problem by getting Stefan the data he needs to try and get it "unlagged" for you.

1. Log on Zodiac.
2. Send me a PM requesting clientstats data.
3. I'll reply and gather the data then post it for Stefan.

I've ran clientstats on Zodiac for jkldogg:

Due to function names I can't post the script section because of Incapsula.

He should be running a 32 bit OS then?

I'm on 64 bit.

Script stats would be good though x-x
The hard drive seems to be very slow, saving the file name list takes one second? X-x

I'll send you a PM with the stats.

Ok would be good to disable file name cache in the options, that should at least fix some random freezing since your hard drive seems to be very slow.

It says "cache filenames for faster startup", so I thought it would be something helpful. I'll go ahead and disable it though.

Edit: Now when I start Graal a little box pops up and says "Scanning folder structure for fast access", is this supposed to happen?

Yeah, it's supposed to happen.

Know when you need to remember a list of things? You usually will try to recollect of everything relating to that, right? Well, Graal will do the very same thing for its files so it can quickly recall of them for when they're being used in the game.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up. I havn't really seen any change in the lag yet though. >_<

Still waiting for a reply, Graal shouldn't lag on my computer.

5 more days pass...still waiting..
