Lag in MScave and Daragoth

[jack hawkins]

when i go to MScave and Daragoth the map runs smothly but after i start hiting mosters it starts going really slow. can any one help?

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

The new Orc AI causes some serious lag, for whatever reason. The dark caves and the plains of Daragoth are full with Orcs, so that's why you will lag when playing these maps.

so i guess this happens to every one

 

[HobbitG]

yes. It takes my server down from 80 fps to about 5-7 fps.

 

[jack hawkins]

lol that sucks. it looks like a really good map as well. its ashame no one can play it properly tho

 

[HobbitG]

naw you can, just really slowly

 

[HumanSteak]

If you have a good computer with 1GB ram, it's not that bad, I still can host 4 people on it with 25fps.

 

[HobbitG]

Even though my server grinds to a halt, it's still pretty playable on the client's end, it just bumps the ping up a bit

 

[evilsquirrel]

doesn't effect me much...guess my server is too uber

other than that, i believe that this is one of the things thats fixed in the next patch (release date estimate is oct 1st)

October 1st patch should mitigate "Orc lag" - but those maps still need remaking, and I may not have them ready by then.

 

[jack hawkins]

lol i do have 1 gb of ramn and its still Sh**y lol never mind ill just wait for the patch

 

[Thothie]

Can anyone give me a heads up as to how well the last patched fixed this? (Seems well enough on my server, but I realize my server is a thing of chaos, so I'm curious as how it is going on others.)

This would let me know if it's still critical enough of an issue to inflate next month's patch with three map recompiles.
