What's With All This lag? - Guild Wars Forums

Lavindathar · Oct 02, 2006, 02:38 PM // 14:38

Is it me or recently is there SO much lag its untrue?

I use an 8mb line and my computer can handle any game out there on the market, with EASE, but im lagging up on guild wars a lot recently, even if using henchmen.

Is this happening to everyone, or is something going on I havent realised yet with my setup?

AW Lore · Oct 02, 2006, 02:47 PM // 14:47

been playing lag free.

I also have an 8MB line and am also having horrific lag from time to time.

I personally put it down to my memory...I had to remove half of it when it went faulty and haven't gotten around to replacing it yet. Don't think it was too laggy before removing half though.

I had 3 err7s in the space of 15 minutes about half an hour ago... then i got bored and started surfing hte web at the same time and now i'm ok...

Well I have 2gb ram, 3.6 Pentium D dual processors, 512 graphics card etc. So it isnt the pc. And an 8mb broadband line.

Yet I lag. Not always, just recently its been coming and going when I encounter enemies.

I'm on the Euro servers if it makes any difference.

Can't even connect to GW atm. Neither can another mate. It's gotta be their servers?

I feel like a druggy, I need my GW fix man!

Getting 005 error btw.

Mine lags also primarily on meeting enemies. It gets VERY VERY laggy at the start of a battle and after 30-60 seconds gets back to normal again.

I tend to lag and err-7 when all the kids come home from school, funny that.....

Ikoma · Oct 03, 2006, 04:57 PM // 16:57

/still lagging a lot since yesterday

Nanood · Oct 03, 2006, 09:39 PM // 21:39

I have a 24Mb line.. Not getting any lag.. get one of those

Seriously your line is more than sufficient.. The problem lies elsewhere.

Ikoma · Oct 03, 2006, 10:17 PM // 22:17

/still lag

Ole Man Bourbon · Oct 03, 2006, 10:27 PM // 22:27

Very little lag here.

(Now watch me get cord ripping out of the wall lag at a key moment)

Setra · Oct 04, 2006, 05:16 AM // 05:16

I got a 'decent' computer, and a 756 connection (split 4 ways) yet even with us all four playing GW at once, none of us lag and have never gotten err 7.

Mister Overhill · Oct 05, 2006, 12:03 AM // 00:03

I have lag once in awhile, but almost NEVER disconnect. My daughter and I share a direct wired DSL connection, and were doing Abaddon's Mouth with a PUG last evening. Lost one member early into the mission, and another right after the door. With 4 seals to go, I froze for half a minute, corrected, then disconnected. My daughter's computer is slower than mine, but she had no problem whatsoever. At least they were able to complete the mission with the 5 remaining members.

GODh · Oct 05, 2006, 12:31 AM // 00:31

It seems that there are 2 different situations going on: (West?) USA and Australia has connection/disconnection problems, Europe gets extreme lags... gg anet :'(

Tachyon · Oct 05, 2006, 02:40 AM // 02:40

No lag here at all, infact I can't remember the last time I had any lag while playing the game.

Phoenix Arrows · Oct 05, 2006, 02:49 AM // 02:49

It's a lag fest for me + guild...6 Error 7s in 5 GvGs...
