Every patch the devs claim to be reducing the lag. Every patch the lag gets worse. The game gecame a slideshow (Well a worse slideshow then before.) after the most recent patch for me. This is getting unberable... Whats wrong with the devs? How can they keep increasing the lag time after time while claiming to be reducing it? Blasphemy!

My lag has definitely been reduced...unless I fight near Iva on Searhus or anywhere on Hossin
strangely only those two locations cause me go into slideshow mode

My only big lag issue used to be when I first got to a continent, but I have to admit that their last patch actually looks like it fixed that quite a bit (it was UGLY when I first got to a cont before). Of course, I spent tons of money optimizing my computer to get to this point and I doubt it will be long before they optimize me right out of the curve again.

The only time I lag when I first get onto a continent is if I'm in a vehicle... due to my system it takes my computer a longer (the normal) ammount of time to load maps so the vehicle will already be moving by the time I load... luckily this hasn't happened since they made the game less RAM intensive (512MB SDRAM for the win!)

Anyone else noticed a slight slow down on your percieved speed while running?

Its like your running at 4 MPH.. then for a moment your at 2 MPH then back to 4 again.

Is this the 'stutter' I've heard so little about?

Mine is also reducing, mess with your bandwidth and video settings.

I haven't had it for a while, but that's not the stutter. The stutter involved you screen freezing and then catapulting you forward (the rubber banding effect you sometimes see on others).

Actually the most recent patch really helped out with the lag for me. I just set my video settings to stay at 60 fps.
