Hello

I need help with the part in this thread where it says
"OK, I'm mainly writing this post because I'm mad.

I had a lag problem with GW see. I did EVERYTHING ... installed 3 different drivers of EVERYTHING .. updated the bios, changed net cards, checked my internet connection, whined and complained to my ISP until I found out my laptop had no problems with the connection.

In the end I saw no other way but to make totally sure it wasn't a software issue by installing Windows XP x64 packed with all-new/different drivers.

I still had the same problem.

Finally I tried the LAST THING I ever could have imagined. I uninstalled the game and copied the client from my laptop over to my home computer.

Needless to say ... the lag dissapeared.

Am I stupid? Should I have known that this online game had cache issues like some others... NO NO NO!

EVE ONLINE is a great game which had cache issues. THEY LET PPL KNOW ABOUT IT. I read the support page for GW and NOTHING about any client issues.

SO BE WARNED PPL. IF YOU START EXPERIENCING UNEXPLAINED LAG, REINSTALL THE CLIENT.

This problem took over 24 hours of game time from me, made me bug a lot of ppl and made me need to format my PC before I figured this out.

What's more .. this lag only ocurred during peak hours so it deffinetly described itself as a network problem, but it WASN'T.

I was playing 5 minutes before I changed out my old client version for the one from my laptop. Instantly .. I was lag free .. so there's no problem here where the problem lay.

SPREAD NEWS OF THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW. We need ppl to know about the possibility of a corrupt client before they start messing with everything on their computer.

Preacher

P.S .. BTW .. the only reason why I'm so mad is that no other game, including EVE ONLINE didn't get such an unexplainable and undetectable error from a simple cache overflow or other silly client error.

If ANET knows they should TELL!! "

I think i have the same problem because everything he describes is hapening to me, BUT i installed my game from a CD. Is that the same as a client? and if i reinstall from the CD will this have the same effect as reinstalling it from online?

Sorry if i sound stupid, thanks in advance.
