Downtown Lag

cryshal

today, park east for farming the clothing frags that dont drop often enough -cof- was ok as long as i was more than about 45m from the HL.. park east C i think. it was odd. you could clearly see things slow down a bit once you got back within 'baseball' range of the HL =/

If you are farming and are killing the same gang members over and over eventually stop spawning, is this why? I have only had this happening in DT

I've had this happen to me in Westview. I figured they just got scared.

Well hopefully the fix as Walrus eluded to will solve the issue we were seeing. And helps everyone's performance in Downtown when we roll it out.

Well it looks like we just about stompped this one dead.

You may experience Lag in downtown but our fix to npcs seems to have corrected much of it.

I asked 9mmfu about this sometime ago, here is what he had to say about it SMILEY

"Actually the spawns are not broken the game has simply picked a different spot to place mobs.

The game uses only about 30% of the spawn locations allocated in the world so while a spawn location may appear as if it always respawns in fact you are just getting lucky and the system is just putting the mobs back in the same place. however occasionally the system will use an alternate spot to maintain spawn density of the neighborhood."

I see, so 1 group of exiles may spawn at one point then after they are all killed, it is a random lottery if the same gang will spawn at the same spot or another place nearby..... makes sense..... I think SMILEY

Alot of my lag came from memory issues, for some reason i remember buying 1gb 4000 ddr but i infact had 3200. i went out and got 2 gb 4000 and now its running sweet, i still lag sometimes but thats due to being in Australia.

Hmmm.... I only have 1gb RAM so far..... I only have room for 2 sticks though.... I may go buy a 2 GB stick, then I will have 2.5gb then at a later date get another 2gb stick, hopefully intime for Hallowe'en..... darn, am I posting my thoughts again......
