PoK lag

IRIEGecko · July 06, 2004, 04:14:36 PM

Are all servers having this issue? I play on A'Ro and it takes about 3-5 seconds to do anything in the PoK. This happens whenever I am trying to buy/sell items or trade with a player. I was just curious if it was an issue across the board.

Personally Im not having this issue and I have not heard complaints in guild along these lines.

I had this same problem in PoK:
press sell button ... wait 5 secs... get your money
memorise a spell wait until mem bar is at 0 .... wait 5 secs ... spell is memorized
cast a spell .... wait 5 secs ... spell goes off.

It happened already twice.

Hmm.. I have noticeable lag, but nothing like 3-5 seconds. Maybe not even a second. But there is just a bit there...

I had that happen in PoK the other night. Very strange. However for a while after Dx9 we wouldn't even use PoK port in as a meeting spot (normal group meets there before we decide what we do). Too many people were lagging or crashing. It has been a bit better lately.

I have bad frame rate lag in parts of PoK since the DX9 upgrade and the number of people in PoK doesnt seem to really matter.

Well I know that SOE came out about a month ago and said that they had isolated what the problem was: an endless loop that was entered by the server when anyone zoned into PoK when levitated.

Now I could be WAY off... but I definitely saw a post on the official boards from the devs when they announced this. But (and again, I could be way off, hehe) I have *not* seen any confirmation anywhere that a fix has been applied.

I've never had an issue in PoK, but have had some similar instances in Everfrost when getting ready for an Adventure. However, it was not only me, it was everyone in the zone was having the same problem.

It could be many things. The most logical one that comes to mind is that when you zoned into PoK it loaded PoK files improperly. Suggest zoning to another zone and then back again.

Mostly though, Its a game issue and not your computer.

Try turning your music and/or sound off.

I've had all sound turned off since the PoK 'freeze' bug. Have noticed lately some serious lag spikes in Pok and recently in Everfrost. Really sucks not having the sound of a computer game on. I mean half the fun is Hearing stuff.

This is definitely a problem at least on Drinal. And it has cropped up relatively recently too. I've been seeing a fair amount of OOC queries about it. There seem to be some factors of the game in PoK currently which just behave sluggishly. As soon as you leave the zone it's fine.

I had a bit of a break for a week or so from EQ but when I came back this week I definitely noticed it. I'm of the opinion that this one isn't clientside considering the number of different people that seem to be noticing and asking about it. No idea what it -is- though.

And yeah trading and vendor stuff were affected.
