guthix121 Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 My computer is pretty new, but it still lags sometimes, since it has a wireless connection. I was fighting Elvarg for the first time, today. And you know what happens? My computer freezes! I frantically slick on tunas(thats all I have), but by the time the copmuter stops lagging, Elvarg has hit a 10, 6, 8 and 9. I fall, dead-losing armor. I didn't even have time to press Protect 1 Item. Now, I have to get more nails-and considering I'm not a smither with only 1 smithing lvl, thats not going to be very easy. I can't stand it!!! This is not that much of a rant-more of just a way to vent my frustration. Feel free to post if anything like this happened to you. Own a forum? Advertise it for Free!!!

db300 Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 can't you just go back through karamja to get there? i do lag sometimes, but i never really fight anything, so it's not a problem. : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peronix Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 If that happens I'd go on low detail and pick the 'recommended' world. Choosing that option picks the world which will supposedly lag the least for your location. Also avoid playing that much on days that where something new is released, because with all the people playing and DLing the update the lag can get pretty bad, even for me. Of course that will only minimize lag from the server end. It is probably mostly your computer causing it. It could be that you have spyware, viruses, or other malicious programs on your computer... I don't know. For more advice on that I'd ask in the Tech Support forum. As for me, I've never had a lag-induced death, although a few times I have come within ~10 HP of one :ohnoes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guthix121 Posted September 22, 2007 Author Share Posted September 22, 2007 I lagged in World 85 and on low detail. I'm not sure if I can get to Crandor through Karambja-you have to defeat Elvarg first. Own a forum? Advertise it for Free!!!

BloodArgon Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Move your computer, or get hard-wired. Long distance between router, and things like many walls, metal, and other objects can cause alot of connection loss. If you have a USB wireless connection, look into a USB extension cord w/ hub, and mount it higher up, or lower depending on your location / location of router. 99 Crafting :: 39,750th || 99 Attack :: 1,775th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highlanders Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 You say your computer is "new", but that proves absolutely nothing. They still build crappy computers, and sell them, because people will buy them. Rs is the "massive" morpg that has the lowest requirements out of all those other mmorpgs. So now you got that "new" computer, that can't even handle Rs properly. You say it's your wireless connection, but that makes absolutely no sense because that doesn't happen unless your wireless connection is not installed properly. It could be the fault of your internet provider aswell. Mmorpgs aren't for poor people, buy a soccer ball, it's cheaper, and go play outside, not only will you look better than the fat pigs that play Rs, but you'll probably end up having a more healthy life. I can give you that pearl right now: playing Rs is a waste of time. You hear that alot, but it takes it's entire meaning, when after years of playing you come to hate Rs, and all those hours and hours you wasted to play, really were wasted. Hehe, I'm being annoying now, forget about it. 2480+ total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hehe, I'm being annoying now, forget about it. Please don't quote me about my lifestyle. I only play RS in my free time. Besides that I play the paino and trumpet, and I play soccer, am on a swim team, and I'm on a track and field team. Also, I am the opposite of a fat pig. Also, if you eventually decide to quit RS, that doesn't mean you wasted your time. While you were playing RS, you probably enjoyed it, and getting that full barrows or that 1mill gave you a sense of accomplishment. As long as your happy and proud of what you can do, you have not wated your time. Getting bored of something and moving on to the next thing is the way of life. Own a forum? Advertise it for Free!!!

Makoto_the_Phoenix Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Highlanders: Pessimist much? I'm quite lean and healthy for a RS player, and I do play sports on a regular basis. I'd take that post of yours as offensive if I didn't know better, but since I do, I'll leave it at that... On-Topic: Why are you playing through wireless? Sure, it's convenient, but if you don't have [Draft]-N technology (Multiple Input, Multiple Output), then you're bound to have lag or dropped packets. Besides, your new computer doesn't mean much; for all you know it's not the actual computer, but your ISP that could be lagging you. [Out of my own curiosity, I'd appreciate if you went to http://www.speedtest.net and received a quick estimate on your line's speed. PM it to me if you want.] WiFi works at 54MBps. Ethernet goes at 100MBps. If you can, get wired. If the Speedtest above proves your network to be slow (typically 256K or less), then talk to your parents or your ISP directly about getting bumped up to some real broadband.

hybrid2hell Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Maybe clear some files up and do a virus scan?

Dracion1 Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I could go on about how much I detest Microsoft and windows but then It's not my place to say this. Also, you say pretty new, but then what are you running? I've heard Vista idles around 700mb of Ram, which doesn't leave all that much left if you only have 1Gb. You also have to consider the other things you have running. Fancy menus look nice but then they do take up a substantial amount of processing power to run. Try toning down your settings more, and give it a go. As it's 'fairly new' I'm guessing you're on Vista so if you want to kill Elvarg try killing the glass effects. Heh, all of the above I said could be wrong but give it a try. It might just work :) "In the beginning, the universe was created.
