Movement in the field - Guild Wars Forums

Halaku · Mar 18, 2005, 06:54 PM // 18:54

Well I've started the game this morning, went out of the trainer town, and into my first field, and almost immediatly froze up. Then moved again, then froze again. Mostly like lag. This did not happen in town. Computer is better in all game specs then required. Is this common since this is only a beta, or is it uncommon and resting solely on me?

Thanks for the help.

This happened to me as well. My comp, too, is above the requirements and I don't even have it running on the highest graphic settings. Fiddling with the settings and walking around a bit seemed to fix it, though it still does pop up from time to time.

Yeah its happening to me and I am well above the recommended and cable and in the same map me and my girlfriend have the same exact lag. So it can't be any one of us computer problem or what not. I wonder what the problem is because they claim that even 56 k people can play without substantial lag.

I've found the problem tends to crop up more in certain areas. Changing my settings doesn't have any effect on it anymore. What usually happens is I click on a point to move to, my character walks towards it, then starts walking in slow motion, then stops completely. A few minutes later, when I would have reached the destination normally, I get ZOOM! teleported to the spot. Makes traveling through some areas really, really weird.

The freeze-ups and lags are common today when you step out of a town. I reported it as a bug. Seems fine now.
