Nope that's not his problem, if you miss the ""'s, windows should at least start executing contig, then come up with the message "No Files found that mach ....."

The message he gets says, windows cant find contig period, and that probably means he didn't put it in correct folder.

A great find! I got mine from 909 fragments down to three! My GW.dat file is like 3GB big, so I see why normal defragging does nothing. If I were a computer, I wouldn't try to defrag something so monstrously big.

Oh, and -image is supposed to do the same thing, but it takes so long (300k+ files), I couldn't bear it.

-image only downloads all files and decompresses them. IT has nothing to do with defragging them.

Also, I suspect LAG has something to do with network conditions and NOT the DAT file.

Thanks. Missed that part.

Anyway mine was already 1:1

Shokzi · Sep 01, 2006, 06:56 PM // 18:56

Despondency · Sep 01, 2006, 07:28 PM // 19:28

I've been using the -image after every update. I just keep a shortcut on my desktop named "Update GW". I don't get much lag, but I'm always up for a boost in performance. I'll try this when I get home.

I think everyone should use the -image, makes loading nearly instant.

VanDamselx · Sep 01, 2006, 08:16 PM // 20:16

This should be stickied for a little bit since it can be very helpful to some. Mine was only 24 frags to begin with, not as bad as 2k+

CrashDummy · Sep 01, 2006, 08:29 PM // 20:29

1300 to 27, cant go lower

EternalTempest · Sep 01, 2006, 08:35 PM // 20:35

This should help, its a front end easy to use gui for contig (you still need to get)

Lord Aro · Sep 01, 2006, 08:37 PM // 20:37

465 down to 5.

Yup, removed a fair amount of lag.

cannonfodder · Sep 01, 2006, 08:44 PM // 20:44

Good idea to sticky it, let's see how this goes.

Good find Inde.

mode06 · Sep 01, 2006, 09:22 PM // 21:22

hi, i was looking over this and mine was at 3000+ when i first started, but now i can't get it any lower than this:

does anyone have any ideas on how to get it any lower, seeing as you guys are getting amazingly low in comparison? it's going down very slowly and i've run it 4 times doing 2 defrags each time, because the first time i ran it, i did the defrag 5 times and it started going up =/

any help would be much appreciated =D

johan the destroyer · Sep 02, 2006, 12:19 AM // 00:19

Ive played this game for 16 months...have had the same client installed since then...have never defragged my HDD (Yeah, I know, I should but I have 4 HDD at 750 GB each...and that takes a while), and its 1 frag/file....is this possible? No fragmentation in 16 straight months...?
