Cache + Lag - Help?
Hey, I have recently started plating Guild Wars again after a brief break, and I'm having a couple of problems, and was wondering if its just me, and if anyone knows how to fix them?
Cache:
The game doesn’t seem to be saving the updates it receives anymore, eg: whenever I enter a town/city I always have '27 files remaining' ever time, and its always the same download size, suggesting its doing the same one over and over every time I zone an area.
It also does the same update every time while actually playing (the little lightning bolt in the top right, that downloads extra files while you play)
Is there a way to fix this? the obvious answer would be to use the -image switch on the shortcut to bulk download all the files, but:
(Another thread on the lag problem has been brought to my attnetion, and it is not my computer, but a problem with their servers, so the problem below....I will just have to wait, but I still need help with the above^)
Lag:
Even though I'm on 56k, I have never had a problem with lag in guildwars, unless I am downloading at the same time, obviously. But even then It would never be this bad. I'm not sure if its my computer or not, the patterns suggest not. I get a regular lag spike every 15 seconds, where my character will freeze for approx 10 seconds, I have even watched on a network monitor and I can see a pattern in the lag spikes, This only happens while playing guildwars, and also only happens between the times of 11am-4pm and 11pm-4am, leaving very little playable time. The patterns suggest it isn't my connection that’s the problem.
I have read other threads and have updated my directX as suggested, and this worked great, until another new build was released, now the problem has come back.
Any suggestions on either?
Regards,
VanDamsel
