Computer Lag

Unkownsoldier · #1 08-26-2009, 01:18 PM

Alright, I am on Vista and my computer is fine. Yet, when I am playing Graal it takes me like a minute to walk across a level when it takes the average player 4 seconds. Why is this happening? I lag so much that when ever another person walks into the level or there are a lot of scripts/images I lag like crazy and not network lag. Is there a way to fix this or am I going to have to wait for the new windows client. I will probably buy Windows 7 sometime this winter, so can anyone help me out for the here and the now?

I see a flaw with that bolded part (Moving 16 tiles/sec?

)

Well, windows 7 is said to run faster then vista. How many processes do you have running, and what's your cpu usage when not using graal and when using graal?

CJ didn't bother trying to make Graal more compatible with Vista, Windows 7 does fix it though.

On Era, you'd move at 14 tiles a second because player speed is 0.7 (from what I can tell) and Graal runs at 20 FPS. He could be talking about that.

A lot of slowdown is generated by DirectX 7 and hugely bastardized DirectX support (Text rendering, etc). You could try the -OpenGL command line switch.

How do I run OpenGL??

Also:

Cpu usage not using Graal: 49-53 %

Cpu usage with Graal: 100%
